Family History of Samuel A. BAIRD

The Kansas Heritage server would like to thank Russ Hutchison for contributing this material.

Greetings to all. This is my first posting on this BBS, and I hope to post several more, since my ancestors came from Kansas (at least for awhile). If any of the following names are familiar to any of you, I would appreciate receiving a note from you.

My great grandparents, Samuel A. BAIRD and his wife Elizabeth MCCREARY had a residence on one of their farms at the SW1/4, SW1/4, sec.6, T20S, R17E in Reeder Township, Anderson County, Kansas. Samuel raised corn and black walnuts on his several land holdings. I have a number of records about Samuel, but data about Elizabeth is scanty. She was: b. June 8, 1837 near Blacksburg, Montgomery County, Va; m. Samuel Nov. 8, 1859; d. July 2, 1903. Both she and Samuel are buried in a farmers' cemetery at the SW corner of the property described above. Their house is gone, but the well still has water in it.

Children of Samuel and Elizabeth include:
1. Robert Davis Baird: b. March 26, 1861 in Ohio. d. Jan. 22, 1924 in
   Roseland, Fl.

7. Samuel Justin Baird: b. Dec. 12, 1876 in Anderson Co, Ks.; m. Laura Mabel
