Laird 's Centre County Pennsylvania
I believe that my GGrandmother Maria (Moriah) Louisa Laird who was born in 1848 in Centre County, PA is the 3rd child of Joseph Laird and Ellen Laird who were 24 and lived in Center County PA in the 1850 Census. Maria had three siblings in the 1850 Census, Alexander Laird 7, Harris Laird 4 and Elizabeth Laird 0.
Maira Laird married David Cooper Shimel, who fought in the Civil War with Company B and C of the 45 Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. After the Civil War, they married and moved from PA to Buffalo Township Ohio where Marie died of Typhus Fever on 7 Sept, 1875. She had two boys, William Joseph age 4 and Andrew Jackson Shimel age 1 at the time of her death in 1875. William Joseph Shimel was my Grandfather.
I am looking for information about other members of Maria's family including her parents Joseph and Ellen Laird and her siblings, Alexander, Harris and Elizabeth.
