24.08--(son) b. betw. 1825 and 1830--age 0-5	[John Gwin Note: We don't know the birth order of any of the four children listed as 8-11, only that each of them falls into this age group--but see note for #12 below.]
24.09--(daughter) Gwin, b. betw. 1825 and 1830--age 0-5	[John Gwin Note: We don't know the birth order of any of the four children listed as 8-11, only that each of them falls into this age group.]

24.11--(daughter) Gwin, b. betw. 1825 and 1830--age 0-5	[John Gwin Note: We don't know the birth order of any of the four children listed as 8-11, only that each of them falls into this age group.]
[24.12]--Thomas F. Gwin?, b. 1831 in Dallas County, AL	[John Gwin Note: We know that either the son listed as 24.08 above or this 12th child is Thomas F. Gwin, b. 1831 in Dallas Co., AL, a colonel in the CSA who married Mrs. Nancy (nee Holman) Reeves, a widow, and lived in Arkansas. We're just not sure in which place he goes in the birth order. If he were born before the 1830 census, he is #24.08 above and the youngest of 11 children; if he were born after the 1830 census, he goes here, the youngest of twelve. Since he and his siblings were orphaned (and likely split up) before 1840, he probably had no memories at all of his father and probably very few of his mother, learning what he did from older siblings or from whomever it was who adopted him. Therefore, it could be that he did not know about ALL his siblings and only THOUGHT there were 11 children instead of 12 (in which case he is this 12th child); on the other hand, perhaps he DID know of all 11 and that there were only 11 (in which case he is the third son listed above as #24.08).]

01. 1805--William Gwin is first mentioned in an 1805 Wears Cove Baptist Church (located in the Wear Valley, aka Crowson's Cove) record in Sevier County, TN, where he and his parents are granted a letter of dismissal (possibly for his dad, Isham, to start as pastor at Tuckaleechee Cove in neighboring Blount Co.). [If my theory regarding his date of birth is right, William is about 15 years old at this time and not yet married.]

02. 1808--Three years later he is named as a witness in his sister's and brother's-in-law land grant assignment. [If my theory is right, William is about 18 years old at this time.]

03. June 1813--Jan B. Thomas' transcription shows him in the minutes of the Millers Cove Baptist Church, Blount County, Tennessee, as joining the church with his wife, Susanah. [If my theory is right, William is about 23 years old at this time.]

04. Oct 1815--Then they appear again in those minutes as leaving the church. [If my theory is right, William is about 25 years old at this time. Question: Is this when William moves to Alabama? We know that John and Jane Walker Gwin, who (I'm all but certain) is the brother of this William, will move there very soon, as their son Isom will be born there 17 Mar 1817. So do they travel there together, leaving Blount Co. on or after 7 Oct 1815? I'm betting that's what we'll find out soon...]

05. 12 Jan 1819--Marilyn Davis Hahn's 1981 book, Old Cahaba Land Office Records and Military Warrants, 1817-1853, reports that a William Given (whom we believe to be this William Gwin) purchases land in Dallas Co., AL, Township 15, Range 7, eight days before a Person Davis (whom we believe to be the Gwins' scribe in Item 4 above) purchases land there in T16, R8. By comparing the date above and the date in Item 4 above (col. 2), one might say that the two Person Davises could not be the same; however, we know that some people made land purchases from afar (by mail? by proxy?), and this could certainly have been the case with Person Davis. [If my theory is right, William is about 29 years old at this time.]

06. 10 Apr 1819--Hahn again reports that a William Gwin (whom we believe to be this William Gwin) purchases land in Dallas Co., AL, Township 14, Range 9. [If my theory is right, William is about 29 years old at this time.]

07. 1820--Next he appears in the 1820 census of Dallas Co., Alabama with a wife and seven children--two sons and five daughters. [For reference purposes, I've listed John Gwin's data as well.] [If my theory is right, William is about 30 years old at this time.]

08. 18 Dec 1820--We assume he is the namesake of nephew (son of brother John) William Gwin, who will marry Roseanna "Roe" Carlisle Jones Wilson and become my gg-grandpa.

09. 1822--Jan B. Thomas reports him as being in Alabama in 1822 as an heir at probate to Kerranhappuch Beard (Jan's research indicates that she is very likely William's late mother-in-law, the mother of Susanna Beard) at which the administrator is a Crowson's Cove neighbor, Person Davis (whom we believe to be the same Person Davis mentioned in items 4 and 5 above). [If my theory is right, William is about 32 years old at this time.]

[John M. Gwin Note: Today, 1 Aug 2006, Lisa Bartlett noted in my guest book that she was "doing research on Kerranpauch Nelson Beard and found this website. She was my gggggg-grandmother (6 greats). The info you had was really cool." We welcome you, too, Lisa! Let us hear from you from time to time, especially if you have more to add to the puzzle's solution.]

10. 1830--Eight years later he appears in the 1830 census of Dallas Co., Alabama with a wife and eleven children--three sons and eight daughters. [For reference purposes, I've again listed John's data as well.] [If my theory is right, William is about 40 years old at this time.]

11. 12 May 1831--Hahn again reports that a William Gwin purchases 80 acres of land in Dallas Co., AL, known as the west half of the southwest quarter of section 8, Township 15, Range 10. [If my theory is right, William is about 41 years old at this time.] According to my map of Dallas County, his land is located on the west side of the Alabama River about a mile south of the town of Cahawba. To get there from Cahawba, leave the park by the main gate on County Rt. 2. Take the first dirt road to the left due south. Follow this road about 1.5 miles to the Matthews Cemetery which you should see on the left side of the road. Walk across the road from the cemetery, then due south for about 200 yards. You should be standing approximately in the center of the northern boundary of his land. Those 80 acres were in a rectangle a quarter mile wide east to west and a half mile long north to south.

12. 16 Oct 1850--Cousin Mike Walker found a William Gwin (whom we believe POSSIBLY, MAYBE, SPECULATIVELY, IN THEORY, COULD be the son of our William and Susanna) in the 1850 census of Macoupin Co., Illinois. [John M. Gwin Note: A photo of the 1850 census page where Cousin Mike Walker found this William is located several clicks below. Mike suggests (and I concur) that the William on line 37 could be the firstborn son of William and Susanna for at least the following six reasons:

(1) his age, 38, is right, according to the above-referenced 1830 census;
(2) his name is right (e.g., to be a "William, Jr.");
(3) his state of birth, Tennessee, is right;
(4) his current place of residence would make sense if, for example, he had decided to "agree with Grandpa Isham and move north to avoid his dad's (and uncle John's) attraction to slavery;
(5) his children's places of birth all fit; and
(6) we still don't yet know if Darlene Almer's information is correct (i.e., that this William came from North Carolina and is the son of Elias Gwin, which data, she told me on 20 Jan 2007, was given to her by the Weatherford family). Of course, if the Weatherfords are right, then Mike's theory is moot, and we're back to square one in the search for this son of of William and Susanna Gwin. But Darlene wasn't sure there was any hard documentation for this William being Elias' son, so the theory still stands while she investigates her material further.

There are indeed, however, at least three items that seem to support Darlene's information:

(1) the Weatherford family must have some good reasons for their claims and should get the benefit of the doubt;
(2) the name of William's and Jane's son is Elias, making him named for his grandfather; and
(3) the presence of the George Gwin family two doors away from this William; that close proximity suggests that George and William are related, yet we have no idea who these people are; their places of birth don't fit our theory; they fit nowhere in our William's family but clearly could fit Darlene's.

Nevertheless, Mike's theory seems plausible to me, and I think we should continue to pursue it. Meanwhile, I have transcribed the GWIN entries on the following page from that

16 Oct 1850 U.S. Census of Macoupin Co., IL,

to allow web searchers to find these names. Please forgive the following strikethrough lines and underlines; I put them there in error and am still trying to figure out how to delete them.]

From "History of Arkansas" in Southern Arkansas Biographical and Historical Memoirs, 1890, p. 224
discovered (on Ancestry.com) and sent in by Jan Thomas in May 2007
(color and other emphasis by John Gwin--RED = confirming data; GREEN = disputed data--see above):

        Col. Thomas F. Gwinn, farmer and notary public, Ben Lomond, Ark. Of the many thoroughgoing and enterprising sons of toil now residing in Sevier County [AR], none are more deserving of mention than Col. Thomas F. Gwinn, who was born in Dallas County, Ala., in 1831. His parents, William and Susan (Beard) Gwinn, were natives of Alabama, where they were married and spent their entire lives, the father dying in 1833 and mother in 1837. The father was a farmer, and also followed merchandising for many years. The paternal grandfather, Isham Gwinn, was born in the Buckeye State, and was of Irish descent. He died in Alabama. The maternal grandfather, John Beard, a native of Tennessee and of English descent, also died in Alabama.
        Col. Thomas F. Gwinn, the youngest of eleven children--three sons and eight daughters--, divided his time in early life between assisting on the farm and in attending the common schools, where he received a good practical education. He then attended college at Elton and Tuscaloosa, and afterward taught school for twenty years. He was also a merchant, and sold books, etc. In 1856 he went to Bossier Parish, La., spent two years there, and then went to Southwestern Arkansas, where he has lived in Lafayette, Hempstead, Little River, and Sevier Counties.
        In 1861 he joined Company E, Eleventh Arkansas Infantry, and spent the first year in Missouri and Kentucky. He was captured at Island No. 10, and spent about seven months in prison at Camp Douglas, Chicago, Ill. After being released he served in the mounted infantry, and was judge advocate and postmaster of the regiment, operating in Louisiana and Mississippi. He surrendered at Lewisville, Ark.
        In 1866 he was married in Little River County, to Mrs. Nancy Reeves, a native of Missouri, born in 1822, and the daughter of James and Rebecca Hohman [Holman], who were born respectively in Kentucky and Maryland. In 1828 her parents came to Hempstead County, Ark, and from there moved to Sevier County, where they remained until 1843, and then moved to Paris, Tex. There Mrs. Hohman [Holman] died in 1857, and Mr. Hohman [Holman] in 1876, at the age of ninety-six years. He once represented Hempstead County in the Legislature. By her first husband, R. V. R. Green, Mrs. Gwinn had one daughter, Catherine, who is the wife of B. F. Forney, an attorney at Hope.
        Since 1872, Col. Gwinn has lived in Sevier County, where he has a good farm of 160 acres near Ben Lomond. In 1874 and 1875 he was superintendent of public instruction of Sevier County, and afterward held the position of justice of the peace for four years. He was once special deputy of the Grange, and since 1887 he has been notary public. In politics he is strictly Democratic, and his first presidential vote was cast for Franklin Pierce in 1852. He has been a member of the A. G. & A. M. since 1861, but is now non-affiliating. He has been a Royal Arch Mason since 1863, the Chapter being in Columbia County. Mrs. Gwinn is a member of the Presbyterian Church.

Jan also sent me this article she found in a Rootsweb search:

William T. Holman
http://www.rootsweb.com/~arlittle/bios.html

The occupation which this gentleman now follows has received his attention the greater part of his life, and it is but truth to say that in it he is thoroughly posted and well informed, and his labors in that direction have contributed very materially to the reputation Little River County enjoys as a rich farming region. He was born in Madison Co., Mo., August 9, 1815, the second of ten children reared to maturity by James and Rebecca Tong Holman. The former was born in Kentucky in 1781 and departed this life in Texas in his ninety-eighth year. In early life he emigrated to Madison County, Mo., where he resided until 1821, when he moved to Hempstead County, Ark., and there made his home for two years, subsequently coming to Sevier County. He was among the earliest settlers of this county and took a prominent part in its affairs, representing it one term in the State Legislature. His first marriage was consummated in Kentucky, Miss Elizabeth McNeil becoming his wife, and they became the parents of two children.

After her death he married Miss Rebecca Tong, a native of Maryland, who passed to her final home in Paris, Tex., about 1858. Of the ten children born to this last marriage, six are still living: Emily (widow of Henry K. Brown), William T., Nancy (wife of Thomas Guinn, a resident of Sevier County), Ira N. (a resident of California), Daniel ( a resident of Sevier County, Ark.) and Susan (now the widow of Lewis M. Schrack, who makes her home in California). William T. Holman was nine years of age when his parents immigrated from Missouri, and he grew to manhood in what is now Sevier County, Ark., obtaining his education in the common schools. His marriage to Miss Mary Stewart of Hempstead County was consummated in 1841, and in 1848 she passed to her final home, and Henry B. Holman, now the Sheriff of Hempstead County, is the only survivor of two children born to this marriage. In 1849 Mr. Holman crossed the plains to California and was there engaged in mining and farming until 1856 when he came to this county, and here he has resided ever since. The same year as his arrival in this county, Miss Eliza Fuquay, a native of Hempstead County, Ark., and the daughter of Thomas W. and Delia (Brown) Fuquay, became his wife. Her father, a minister of the Presbyterian persuasion was of French extraction and claimed Kentucky as his birthplace.

Early in life he moved to the Indian Territory, coming thence, in 1828, to Hempstead County, Ark., and later settling in Sevier County, same State, where he passed from life in 1859. His wife was Virginian by birth and died in September 1886 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Holman, with whom she had spent her last days. To the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Holman have been born nine children--four sons and five daughters: Adelaide (wife of N. T. Richmond), James T., Mary J. (deceased), Edgar W., William L., Lucy, Frances, Lloyd C., and Elise. Mr. Holman has not spent his life in idleness as his fine farms lying three miles northwest of Rocky Comfort and about one and one-half miles from Indian Territory will show, and he devotes his attention to cultivating 250 acres of the 720 acres which this tract contains. During the late war he raised a company (in 1863) of which he was captain and served as such until the surrender. In 1868 he was chosen Representative of Sevier County and served as such very creditably for two years during which time Little River County was formed from a portion of Sevier and Hempstead Counties. His first presidential vote was cast for Grover Cleveland. Mrs. Holman is a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

Some Pertinent Census Information

From the 20 Nov 1850 U.S. Census of Harrison Co., TX

613/617	J. B. Aaikin	38	m		farm	[BLANK]	SC	Jan Thomas writes that Maud Baird Smith (in her book The Baird Family) says that this is John B. "Jack" Aikin, b. 1810 in SC. She says he died in 1899 near Marshall, TX; however, Jan says this is the only census in which she's been able to find him. Jan quotes Maud as saying that Jack married Henrietta Gwin who, Jan speculates, is a daughter of William Gwin and Susanna Beard. She reports that Jack is a brother to Alexander Aikin. I have no reason to doubt any of this and believe, with Jan, that this is one of William's and Susannah's kids.

1086/1086	Robt. K. Predmore	45	m		planter	3000	TN	First of all, if you're using Ancestry.com to find these folks, be aware that they mistranscribe the last name as "Beamore", for Pete's sake. Jan Thomas sent me all the following information: Robert Kyle Prigmore, b. 1808 in Limestone Co., AL, was the first white child born in [what would become] that state; he died in 1864 in either TN or Bossier Parish, LA; m1. on 7 Jul 1836 to Alice Jane Maples (b. 6 Feb 1814 in McMinn Co., TN; d. 15 Dec 1839 in TN); two ch.: Wm. Maples Prigmore (b. 1837 in Limestone Co., AL) and Alice Elizabeth Prigmore (b. 1839 in Limestone Co., AL; d. 1933; m. Mr. Sugg); RKP m2. 29 Oct 1842 to Karenhappuch (nee Gwin) Noblett (b. 1802 in TN; d. 1866 in Limestone Co. AL)
	Kesinhapeuch Predmore	38	f				TN	This is said to be Karenhappuch Gwin [the widow Noblett] (b. 1802--sic--in TN; d. 1866 in Limestone Co. AL); she is no doubt named for her maternal grandmother, Karenhappuch Beard (see item 9 in the chronology above). If this is indeed the oldest daughter of William and Susanna Beard Gwin--and I believe that she is--I have to agree with her age in this 1850 census which places her DOB at ca. 1812, not 1802, because we know that Wm. was still single in 1805 and (probably also in) 1808; the first we see of Susannah is in 1813 (see items 1-3 in the chronology above). Again, I have no reason to doubt any of this (except the 1802 DOB) and believe, with Jan, that this is one of William's and Susannah's kids.

Nevertheless, we do know that Thomas F. Gwin was born in Alabama and that his wife Nancy, the widow Green (nee Hohman), was born in Missouri. It is also unimaginable that a school teacher's wife, much less the school teacher himself, would not be able to read or write! The listed occupation of school teacher, however, does concur with the above book article's information.

126/136	Guinn, T. F.	W	M	59	self	M	Farmer	Ark	Ohio	Al	Ancestry.com mistranscribed the surname as GUIRM, which is the reason why it was almost impossible to find the family using that program. (I did an Ancestry search of the entire county and found him that way.) Looking at the original document verifies that the last name was indeed recorded as GUINN. The baby of the family, Thomas F. Gwin was orphaned by the age of six (his dad, William, died when he was only 2). So it is very understandable that he had no first-hand knowledge of where his parents--much less his grandparents--were born. The facts are that his father, William Gwin, was born, raised, and married in Tennessee (possibly he was born in VA just prior to the move to TN), and his mother, Susan Beard, was at least married there and probably born and raised there as well. His paternal grandparents, Isham Gwin and Mary Canterbury, were both born, raised, and married in VA, moved to TN just before or just after William was born, and moved to IN where they finished their lives and are buried. The book article above states that Thomas believed his grandpa Isham was from OH, and that is likely what Thomas told this census taker as well, who may have mistaken his statement for his father's birthplace instead.

This is our man all right. But now, in his old age, he is ready to tell us that his DOB is 1827, meaning he is himself the third son of William! The biographer in the above bio must have been wrong!

Some Speculation on Who Their Other Children Might Be

24.01--(son) Gwin, b. betw. 1810 and 1815--age 15-20 (see also Item 12 above)

Haley B. Gwin of Lauderdale Co., MS, in 1850 census, b. AL 1822, son named Chesley R.! Middle initial B. for Beard?

Samuel Guinn of Saline Township, Drew Co., AR, in 1860 census, b. AL 1824, lived in MS 3-5 yrs., son named Chestley R.!

Hi John,
Haven't talked to you in a while. I have still been wondering where William Gwinn's family went after he died.

On the 1840 census there should be some Gwinn kids living with somebody.

-----I found this female S. Gwinn in the 1840 Lauderdale Co. census with 4 kids. Do you know who she is?

-----I also found an Alabama Land Record dated 8/1/1849 for Susan Gewin at the Tuscaloosa Co. Land Office.

-----On the 1840 Tuscaloosa Co. census there are Asa Guin and Holden Guin and some Gunns who could be Guins.

-----On the Franklin Co., AL 1840 census there is a Poarson Guinn (could be Pearson or Person Guinn) who could be named after Person Davis; also there is a Wm. Guinn on that census.

-----In Talladega Co., AL, 1840 census there is an Iversor R. Guinn. That is where Person Davis's family moved.

-----This I think could be important. I think Thomas F. Gwinn, who was the son of William Gwinn and Susanna Beard of Dallas Co., AL, is on the Chickasaw Co., Mississippi, census of 28 Sep 1850, listed as Thomas Goin, 17 years old, living in the house of James & Rebecca Baal. Interestingly, just 3 houses above, is

Samuel Goin, 35 yrs old, b. TN, with his wife
Mary Goin, 30, and 5 kids:
Telitha Goin,              f,     11,        b. AL [ca. 1839];
Nancy Goin,                 f,       9,      b. MS [ca. 1839];
Frunis Goin,                   f,       7,        b. MS [ca. 1839];
Benjamin F. Goin,         m,     3,        b. MS [ca. 1839], and
William H. H. Goin,      m,    8/12,    b. MS [ca. 1839];

the 11 year old born in AL, the rest born in Miss., indicating a move around 1840 to Mississippi. Listed in Samuel Goin's house at the very bottom is Catharine Goin, 14 yrs old, b. TX. Now, I think it would be unusual to list their oldest daughter last--usually that would indicate a servant, boarder, or niece--and her birthplace is different from the rest. (The households in between Samuel Goin and Thomas Goin are George Neely and John L. Laughlin, just in case those names mean anything to you.)

I don't know if there is any correlation to any of these people and our Guins; just wondering if you had already explored any of them.

Subject: Thomas F. Gwinn cemetery record

Bill & John,
I'm not sure if this is our Thomas F. Gwinn tombstone inscription (see below), but it's close, and there aren't a lot of Thomas F. Gwinn's running around in Sevier Co. Arkansas that are in this age group, basically just him. The death date of 1902 is about right because I have him on the 1900 census, but his widow is on the 1910 census. It doesn't mention that he is a Col., but I still think it's a pretty close match.

His birthdate seems to fluctuate on census records, so maybe somebody misread the year on the tombstone, maybe instead of 1822 it is 1827, but the census & the tombstone say April. Maybe his wife wanted him to appear to be older than she was (you know that old robbing the cradle thing). There might be some existing obituaries in 1902 that could shed some more light on who his relatives were.

Also, the 80 acres that William Gwinn bought in Dallas Co. AL in 1831, was sold in 1832, so it is possible that they moved to another county in Alabama before he died in 1833.

Subject: Re: Baird family Kentucky land records & notes

Penny, This is what I had on the KY land. I think when it was sold, it was in Clark Co., KY. Clark Co. was formed in 1792 from Bourbon and Fayette Co., KY. Bourbon was formed in 1785 from Fayette. Fayette was formed in 1780 from Kentucky Co. VA and the county seat was Lexington. So if they got the land in 1782 it was probably in Fayette Co., KY which was just two years earlier known as Kentucky Co, Virginia and the county seat was Lexington. That is probably the note about Lexington that you are remembering. In 1795 Hardiman, Henry and Samuel Beard/Baird are on the Lincoln Co. KY census which was probably reconstructed from tax records. I've included the Buckingham & Halifx PPT's and tithes (below) in this e-mail to keep it all together. Lastly, I copied an excel file I made trying to figure out who was how old and when. You may find it not helpful or confusing. It's a table with columns of the persons' initials and rows of their ages for each year finding their birth years based upon the year they began being tithed. When I made it, I thought maybe I could rule out which Henry (what generation) was where based upon their ages. The column headings were HB0 that's Henry Baird generation 0. HBw0 is Henry Baird's wife generation 0. HdB1 would be Hardiman Baird 1st generation after Henry. Then Hardiman's kids would be BB2 Baker Beard generation #2 after Henry, etc. Then I can't really remember why I put a's and b's and c's, but I think it was because there were to many HB's and JB's, so I labeled them as a, b, or c to distinguish them and used them on their children's names as well. Probably there's a better way to do this, but... I'm not sure if I ever finished this list, and you may not find it helpful, but if I could incorporate where they were into the table, it makes a very good time line, and where the relatives were in comparison to one another, when they probably married, when they had to have been dead by, etc.

1764 Buckingham Co. Tithe List (White Tithes, Acres, #carriages)

Henry Beard and John Beard 2:400:0

Hardiman Beard 1:0:0

Henry and John and Hardiman are all born before 1743, but Hardiman has no kids showing born before 1743.

I’m assuming this is Henry Beard #1 b.<1714, son John Beard b.1739 & son Hardiman Beard b.1734.

Where is Edmund b.1736? This is not a complete tithe list, only the first few letters of the alphabet are in existance, so it’s possible he was living on somebody elses property, or that he had moved to another county. It’s interesting that Henry Baird #1 gave his son Edmund 400 acres in 1759 by Albemarle Co. deed records, and that is exactly the amount Henry and John are tithed for. It’s possible Edmund died and the land reverted back to his father, but it’s technically impossible for Henry and John to be Edmunds sons because they have to be born prior to 1743 and he was born 1736. Maybe he just never accepted the gift of the land or sold it back to his father, or died between 1761 and 1764.

1773 Buckingham Co. Tithe List (White Tithes)

Henry Baird (Archibald Baird, Henry Baird, John Taylor) 4

John Baird 1

Henry Baird "the father" is tithed for 2 of his +21 year old children and a helper or son in law. That would mean Henry Baird and Archibald Baird are born before 1752, but after 1743. Because there is a family bible in existance that contains Henry Baird #1’s childrens births through 1747 and they are not in it, I am going to assume that they are born after 1747 but before 1752, possibly by a 2nd wife.

Where was Hardiman in 1773? Could Henry be a nickname for Hardiman?

1774 Buckingham Co. Tithe List (White Tithes)

Archibald Baird 1

Hardeman Baird 1

Henry Baird 1

Archibald, Hardeman, and Henry all tithed on their own. I’m going to assume that this is Henry Baird #2 and that Henry Baird #1 may have died between 1773/1774 being about 60-70 years old. Archibald Hardeman and Henry do not have any children 21+ or born before 1753. Hardiman Baird is believed to have married in 1764 which would probably make us begin to see his 21+ children around 1785. Archibald is thought to have married around 1773, so we would expect to see his children begin to appear by 1794. If Henry is born 1747-52, we could begin to see his 21+ children by as early as 1788, but he appears to be in Halifax Co. VA at that time, so I don’t think we’ll see his kids here in Buckingham.

Where was John in 1774?

Buck Co. PPT & Land Tax, reel # 50, 51, & 64 (still need reel #52 and 65 for later dates)

Depending on the different tax collectors, their lists included slightly different headings or was left blank, so I’ve adjusted for that by adding (-). For example, some lists included slaves +16 years and total slaves, some lists included slaves –16 years and total slaves, so I’ve added all three headings and added a – if that field wasn’t on that list. If I forgot to write something down or couldn’t make it out I put a ?.

In 1764 Henry Baird #1 had 400 acres, now we see possibly 3 sons with 399 acres, but have no deeds to verify how they acquired the land. It was not by Patent, Grant, or Survey which are in existance, so it must have been conveyed through burned deeds or probate records between 1761 and 1782.

John Baird disappears from Buckingham at the age of 43. If he was not a land owner and he died would he have had the word decd. or est. beside his PPT’s or would he just disappear from the PPT? The lack of these words may indicate that he moved, but where or who was he living with in 1782? This is two early to be John W. Baird b.~1768 son of Hardiman Baird, so it must be John Baird b.1739.

In 1783 Archibald, Hardeman, and Henry all live in Buckingham and none of them appear to have children born before 1762, assuming that James is a slave.

This is the last we see of Henry Baird in Buckingham for awhile, this would agree with a Henry Baird selling Cheathum Puckett 100 acres in 1783 and then leaving Buckingham Co. VA and going to Halifax Co. VA in 1783/1784. It could also agree with OLD KENTUCKY ENTRIES AND DEEDS FAYETTE CO. Deed book 3 pg. 152, 1/16/1784 a Henry Baird got 1092 ½ acres of land in Fayette Co. KY on the KY River. Also per Penni Luntsford notes, Warrant #11924.0 5/7/1782 1092.5 acres Henry Baird 1747.16 fraks/shillings. (Hardiman Baird Warrant #11925.0 5/7/1782 1273 acres, 2037 pound/shillings.) It might also agree with the British Mercantile Claims, concerning debts owed to the British Mercantile Co. for trade in 1783/84, Manchester Store noted that "Henry Baird Jr. removed to parts unknown in low circumstances." It doesn’t seem likely that it is Henry Baird #1 in KY because he hasn’t been on these records since 1773. It’s possible that the Henry and Hardiman Baird who got land in KY are Henry’s sons, and slightly possible that they could be Hardiman’s sons. See if there are any records for Kentucky Co. VA before 1780.

I was considering whether or not Cheathum Puckett might be a brother in law, buying Baird land before we moved, similar to what our Bairds did in Limestone Co. AL. Of the Pucketts of Buckingham from 1782-1794, besides Cheathum, there is only mentioned a Daniel Puckett who has a wife named Anne (Ami). Rather than my first thought, I now wonder if Anne Puckett might be Anne Baird b.1747, and Cheathum Puckett could be her son, brother in law, or father in law. I need to do a little investigating on this, to see if I can identify Anne Puckett.

By 1787 Hardiman has 2 sons 16 years or older, so both born 1767 to 1771. Let's assume he had twins who turned 21 in the latter half of 1787 = b.1766. In 1787 Henry Baird and Hardiman Baird sign a religious petition in Buckingham, so there appears to be a Henry Baird in Buckingham in 1787, and we know there was a Henry Baird in Halifax Co. in 1787. Could Hardiman's son actually be Henry Hardiman Baird, or could "Henry" be a nickname for Hardiman?

By 1788 Hardiman has at least 3 sons that are 21 years or older, Baker, Hardyman, and John W., so all 3 were born on/after 1765 but on/before 1767. So let’s just assume twin Baker b.~1766, twin Hardyman b.~1766, John W. b.~1767, or any combination thereof. I have no reason to think he had twins; I’m just trying to make the dates work.

Could he be John Beard b.1739, or could this be a record for our possibly John/Henry Beard Jr. This would agree with the 1795 "Estate" of Henry Baird in Halifax Co. VA.

John Bord, Decd. 100 acres

In 1795 Hardiman Baird, Henry Baird, and Samuel Beard are included in the 1795 Lincoln Co. KY reconstructed census, due to tax records I suppose. Samuel Beard may/may not be related, his birth would be about 1774 which is too early to be Samuel Davis Baird. Archibald appears to have bought Hardimans land in 1795 so this would agree with their leaving for KY, but it looks like the Henry and Hardiman Baird that are in KY could be Hardimans sons.

This Edmond Baird is probably a son of Archibalds born 1774, and moved out at his 21st birthday, because we haven’t seen him on Hardimans list of children who appear not to have moved out when they turned of age. This is probably the Edmund Beard who married Elizabeth Adcock, d/o Edmund Adcock and Joannah Stinson. They are also related to Alexander Stinson one of our adjoining land owners. This Edmond Baird probably goes to Orange Co. with the Adcocks.

In 1796 we see a Henry Baird reappear in Buckingham, and in 1795 we saw Henry Baird sell all his land and disappear from Halifax. Is this Henry Baird #2 from Halifax coming back to Buckingham because Halifax records indicate he died 1795, or is this a son of Hardimans born in 1775 or earlier. This Henry Baird applies for & receives a land grant from Grant Book 32, pg. 96 & 97 dated 6/7/1794 for the 67 acres surveyed in 12/14/1762 for Henry Baird #1. Who was paying the tax for the 67 acres between 1762 and 1794? Why are they referring to it as a New Grant? Hardiman and possibly his son Henry Baird still appear to be living in Buckingham, but Archibald appears to own Hardimans land. So are Hardiman and Henry living on the 67 acres, and is there still a Henry in KY in 1796?

Here we see some more children come into the picture, Archibald must be the father of Pleasant Baird b.~1777, Hardiman obviously the father of Samuel Davis Baird b.~1777, but Hardiman's Bible records indicate that Samuel Davis Baird was born 4/12/1780 which would make him only 18 in this tithe list. I don’t know if the PPT’s specified an age limit for the Free Tithe; I’ll have to recheck that for several of the years where I didn’t denote it.

In 1798 in Clark Co. KY the land of Hardiman Baird and Henry Baird is being sold to pay back taxes.

In 1800 it looks like Hardeman should be taxed for 4 Free Tithes, but he is only taxed for 3, strange…It appears that he is being taxed for Hardeman, Davis and Baker? In 1800 Montgomery Co. KY census there is a George Beard 20-30, Samuel D. Beard 20-30 b.1780-1790, ? Beard 45+, b.<1755, and William Beard b.1784-1794. Now how can Samuil Davis Baird be both places or are these some new Bairds we haven’t seen before, more kids of Archibalds working Hardemans farm? Maybe Hardiman was tithed in KY.

Bartlett Burd/Bird, is this one of us? NOW LOOK – 2 Henry Bairds in 1804. One appears to have just appeared after Hardimans death, so probably his son. The other has been here for a little while on the 67 acres, could this be Henry Baird #2 returned from Halifax?, a grandson of Henry Baird #1’s from one of the other brothers, 1734 +20 +20 +20 = 1804 would be old enough to have great grandsons named Henry, OH Brother! Lets assume one is Hardimans son Henry Baird, the other one could be Henry as a nickname for Hardiman’s son Hardiman, or it could be Henry Baird #2 from Halifax who is supposed to be dead unless It was Henry Baird #1 who died there, or Henry #2’s son Henry #3, or Archibald could have a son named Henry. Now after 1804 we don’t see Henry Baird being taxed personal property taxes, but he still owns the land and is paying land taxes.

Subject: RE: Baird family research

Jan, How are you doing? It's been a long time since we were last in touch with each other. I took a long step back from genealogy for about 2 years. I just had to take a break and do something else for awhile, but if my recent e-mail activity is any indication, my sabbatical is over. <grin>

I've worked on things in a hit-and-miss fashion a bit, but have not really concentrated on any one line in particular. Right before taking a break, I had a tremendous breakthrough on my mother's father's line (Baird is my mother's mother's line) and while rewarding, it was pretty intense to add about 50 generations in less than 2 years . . . most all nicely documented. I loved connecting up to royalty, so much was already recorded for me. My brother (his royal stuffiness <grin>) was elated to finally "know" that he really did have the royal connections he just knew he had all along, but for me it was most exciting to find out that I'm connected to George Washington, Meriwether Lewis and Robert E. Lee. My "little old" 2nd great grandmother who we never thought to find anything about (we knew she had been married twice, but didn't know the order; had no birth or death info and census records couldn't agree other than that she was illiterate, and possibly "idiotic".) connected up to the Warner and Lewis families of pre-colonial Virginia. I about had a canary when I finally put it all together and figured out what I had. It was so awesome and I wish everyone could have an experience like that.

In the past week, I've received over 5 requests for info and help, most of them coming out of my KY ancestor's roots and the Baird clan specifically. As I've been out of touch and really haven't done anything recently in this line, I was just "looking for handouts" <giggle>. I did find a bit of info about the land that Hardiman and Henry bought in KY in 1782. The site for the Secretary of State, KY - Land Office http://sos.ky.gov/land/ has some searchable land records and I found this info under the Virginia Treasury Warrants. Unfortunately, I cannot find where this land was located. I thought I had a note somewhere that this Hardiman's land (and Henry's) was in Lincoln County (one of the first 3), but I can't seem to locate that note now.

Warrant Number: 11925.0 - Harayman Baird
1273 acres, purchased for 2037.00 Pounds.Shillings
Tuesday, May 07, 1782
NOTE: Same day, prior warrent number, Henry Baird purchased land
Warrant Number: 11924.0
Name(s): Henry Baird
Date: Tuesday, May 07, 1782
Authorized Patent(s): None
Acreage: 1092.5
Assignee: None
Current Money (Pounds.Shillings): £1747.16

If you have any thing that you can add that might help get me back on track, I'd sure appreciate it. One of the queries I received is a possible descendant of my Hardiman, and I'd love to be able to tie up all these Hardimans, Henrys, Archibalds, and Samuel Davis Baird into one nice family group (wouldn't we all??).

5/5	George	Gwin	62	1788	m	farmer	.	Va	.	This person is currently unknown to us; however, because he is two houses away from this William Gwin, he is most likely a relative.
	Laney	Gwin	52	1798	f	.	.	Ten	.	This person is currently unknown to us.
	Rachael	Gwin	23	1827	f	.	.	Ind	CNROW	The "Other" data is "Can Not Read Or Write."

	George L.	Gwin	8	1842	m	.	.	Ind	.	.
7/7	William	Gwin	38	1812	m	farmer	620	Ten	CNROW	This is the William Gwin (Jr.--if Mike's right) whom Mike Walker has theorized could be the son of William and Susanna Gwin (and grandson of Isham and Mary C. Gwin) as explained above. His estimated year of birth, 1812, is the same year John Gwin and Jane Walker married and the year before our William and Susanna (theoretical parents to this William) joined the Miller's Cove Baptist Church (see item #3 above).
	Jane M.	Gwin	37	1813	f	.	.	NC	CNROW	Jane evidently married William in the early 1830's, no doubt in Alabama (as per her children's POB). If Rebecca is their firstborn, Jane would've been about 20 when Rebecca was born and therefore about 19 when she and William married (ca. 1832).
	Rebecca L.	Gwin	17	1833	f	.	.	Ala	ASWTY	That this daughter is born in Alabama lends further credence to Mike's theory, since William and Susanna are in Alabama for the 1820 and 1820 censuses. The "Other" data is "Attended School Within The Year."
	James H.	Gwin	13	1837	m	.	.	Ill	ASWTY	That he is born in Illinois means--if Mike's theory is correct--that William and Jane moved their family north to Illinois between 1833 and 1837. The following is no doubt he in the 1880 census, the only questionable item being his mother's POB: Name: James H. Gwin Age: 44 Estimated birth year: abt 1836 Birthplace: Illinois Occupation: Farmer Relationship to head-of-household: Self Home in 1880: Drywood, Bourbon, Kansas Marital status: Married Race: White Gender: Male Spouse's name: Eliza Gwin Father's birthplace: TN Mother's birthplace: AL The "Other" data is "Attended School Within The Year."
	Elias	Gwin	8	1842	m	.	.	Ill	ASWTY	The following is no doubt he in the 1880 census, the only questionable item being his mother's POB: The "Other" data is "Attended School Within The Year."
