Ancestry of Sarah (Sallie) Baird

My Great Grandmother was Sallie Baird. She was a daughter of David Baird and Julia A. McAlister. Sallie (actually Sarah) was the second wife of Marquis Lafayette Crocker and bore only my grandfather, Hervey Wilson Crocker (September 8, 1895). Sarah (Sallie) Baird's ancestry is as follows:


Thanks

I am indebted to John C. Baird of Mississippi for much of this information and to Terri McClain Shelby in Oregon for putting me in contact with him. Both are newly discovered cousins. John, Terri and myself are all descended from different sons of Alexander Baird (ca. 1747 - ca. 1800) and Elizabeth Jennings (? - ca 1816).

Before receiving John's extensive research findings, I had pieced together my Baird ancestry as far back as Hardy Baird with reasonable certainty. I was holding tentatively to Hardy's father being John (obviously not the same John mentioned above). Not only did he confirm that connection, but pushed the knowledge of my ancestry back into the 1600's, another five generations!
