Avis M. BAIRD       (ID #I12267)

(female)
Father: Peter Smith BAIRD (b. 1850)
Mother: Catherine _____ (b. ABT 1851)

 

As reported by Mrs. John P. Baird to Fermine Baird Catchings circa 1920, Avis was named "by her grandfather for his great-grandmother, Avis". However, as the grandfather in question, Peter Baird Sr., died a quarter century before Avis was born, this story cannot be literally true. It is true, however, that Avis is a very uncommon name, and, like Rhoda, it may have been carried in the family's memory.

Bedent BAIRD       (ID #I13148)

(male)
Father: Andrew BAIRD (b. 1700, d. 1773)
Mother: Sarah _____ (dates unknown)

Family 1 : Sarah CARLE (b. 1733, d. 1778)

 

Littell's Passaic Valley Settlers says he married Sarah, daughter of Jacob Carle, and lived somewhere in the vicinity of Long Hill, which is on the line between Somerset and Morris Counties in the vicinity of Basking Ridge. This identification seems confirmed by the stone at the Basking Ridge Presbyterian Church cemetery, for Sarah Carle, wife of Bedent Baird. Accounts of the family say he was a member of the Jersey Blues militia, and later removed to "German Flats, Canada", in spite of the fact that German Flats is in New York.

Exactly what became of Bedent is not entirely clear. Part of the confusion is that, in all probability, another Bedent Baird, son of William Baird and Margaret O'Riley, lived in the same area until this family removed (severally) to Burke Co., NC. However, it seems very probable that the elder Bedent Baird did not leave the area of Basking Ridge and had died by 1800, because of the following marriage, recorded by Rev. Robert Finley at the Basking Ridge Presbyterian Church:

07 mar 1800: Fortune, "black-man belonged to B. Baird", married Phyllis, colored, "belonging to Ruth Lefferty".

If this means what it says, Fortune had formerly belonged to Bedent Baird, while Phyllis still belonged to Ruth Lefferty. The most likely reason that Fortune no longer belonged to Bedent was that Bedent had died, and Fortune had become a free man. Or, perhaps Fortune was freed when Bedent left for "German Flats", if that is indeed where he went. There does not seem to be a will for Bedent, but there might be a manumission, deed, or similar document on record. Indeed, there are several reports on the internet of the Bedent who married Sarah Carle dying in 1792, but this has not been established.

Arguing against this interpretation, however, is a provision of the will of James Anderson, husband then of Phebe Bockoven, 25 dec 1811. He grants to his wife Phebe the use of the negro man, Fortune, suggesting that Fortune had been sold out of the estate of Bedent Baird. The will also notes that James Anderson had purchased land from the Gavin McCoy estate — Gavin had been an officer in the local militia during the Revolution.
