William Francis Baird was my GGGrandfather. I have searched the web over and have not been able to find a thing about him. All I know is what I learned from my family:

Due to his colorful and adventurous story, I would have thought that others would know about him. Seems he stowed away on a ship out of Belfast or Dublin in 1818 at age 12. When he was discovered, the ship was too far out to return to Ireland so he was accepted and became a cabin boy on the ship. By the time they reached America (either Boston or Philadelphia?) the Captain wanted to adopt him but he declined saying that the reason he stowed away was to come to America.

William Frances married Mary McClary in 1828 at Lancaster, Garard, Kentucky and according to my records had nine children: Archebald L., John F. Logan, James L., Joseph S., Henry Francis, Alice A., Martha B., Eliza Jane, and Oliver Terrell (who was my GGrandfather).

Mary McClary was the daughter of Franklin McClary who was the son of Andrew McClary.

My problem is that I cannot seem to find the link for William Francis in Ireland.

Subject: KY BAIRD'S

I am researching a JOSEPH C BAIRD who is listed in the 1880 census in Larned Kansas - His place of birth is Ky and list his father's place of birth as VA.

Have you run across any of your BAIRD'S that went to KS, I would assume, after 1873 since his last son was seven in 1880 and he was listed as being born in KY.

Subject: BAIRD Connection

I am interested in the BAIRD family from Bardstown, Ky. They came from Virginia, I think and lived in Bardstown late 1700's I think. As you can tell, I know little about them but I believe that Bardstown was first called Bairdsville. Does any of this sound familiar to you?
Thanks, CAROLINE NIELSEN at sloaniel@earthlink.net

I was just surfing the net and I stumbled onto your page about the BAIRD family. I noticed that you have many lists of families from places like Tennessee and Pennsylvania, but I live in Kentucky and there are a couple hundred of us at family reunions. My name is AMY LYNN BAIRD and our family did come from Ireland. Our family crest is a Boar. My grandfather is one of about 13 children, so there are quite a few of us. I think you will find more descendants to add to your lists if you look into Kentucky.

Some Kentucky & Tennessee BAIRD families are listed with the Virginia BAIRD Family. (See link above) Please send me your information. Norma.

Subject: Harlan Baird

Harlan BAIRD (John BAIRD & Nancy RHODES) b. 22 April 1823 in Mason County, KY. His grandmother was a HARLAN, so she named her grandson Harlan BAIRD. Grandmother HARLAN comes from the same family that Chief Justice HARLAN of the US Supreme Court is from.

The John BAIRD family migrated from eastern Kentucky > Indiana > Iowa & then onto Nebraska. Harlan BAIRD & his family are found on the 1880 Omadi, Dakato County, NE census : Harlan BAIRD(age 56, b. KY); Melissa BAIRD (age 46, b. OH) ; Thomas B. BAIRD(age 23, b. Iowa); Henry C. BAIRD (age 25 , b. Iowa) ; Eliza BAIRD (age 22, b. NE); Emma BAIRD(age 20, b. NE); Frank WRIGHT (other) (age 24, b. MO).

My family line is as listed below : William BAIRD b. 18 Oct 1797 in KY. Enlisted for the War of 1812 in Mason County , KY. Parents unknown. William married Ann Ary RHODES b. 26 Sept 1797 in Bourbon County, KY on 3 Dec 1818 in Nicholas County, KY.

Ann Ary's parents were Beacham RHODES & Margaret McCARTNEY . Beacham & Margaret first lived in Maryland , where 3 of their 8 children were born. They removed to eastern KY, residing in Mason, Bourbon, Fleming, Nicholas & Hart Counties. Their issue : Elizabeth, Silas, Samuel, Rachael, Ann Ary, Mickel { female }, Phebe, Harlan, & Enos.

William BAIRD & Ann Ary RHODES removed to Grayson County, KY, where William is listed on the 1820 census, as well as a John BAIRD & his family. Around 1828, the family picked up stakes & removed to Boone County, IN. After a few years, they moved on to Clinton County, IN, where both William & Ann died & are buried. William & Ann's issue are: John BAIRD, Machael { female)BAIRD, William Wallace BAIRD, Rebecca BAIRD, James Alexander BAIRD { known as A.B. }, & Mary BAIRD.

Brothers John BAIRD & William Wallace BAIRD removed to Iowa around 1843, where John is listed as a founding father of Des Moines, Iowa. Later, John moved his family to western Iowa near the town of Harlan.

I believe that the above mentioned Harlan BAIRD, at the beginning of this posting, is a nephew of my William BAIRD . And Harlan's mother, Nancy RHODES, is related to Beacham RHODES. The name of Harlan runs in my BAIRD family, too.

I will gladly share all information that I have on both BAIRD families. Contact: Brenda Baird Magee at WileE13@aol.com
