Marriage record transcribed as Orland Baird, but gives the names of both his parents. By 1940, they were in Fort Dodge, Webster Co., Iowa. Birth and death dates from the Social Security Death Index. Around 1950 he remarried to Vivan L., likely in Fort Dodge.
[4388] named in will of Thomas Greenleaf Baird, dated 03apr1930, probated 01jul1935. One census listing had Esther, another had Orland.

In 1840 he seems to be in Canaan Township, Marion Co., OH, with wife and a young son and daughter.
[4396] Birthplace noted in History of Morrow Co. OH (1880), p. 719. However, we believe family actually lived on the Passaic River on the ancestral farm(s), in Somerset Co. Birthdate agrees with family records.

Not mentioned in her father's will, so possibly died before 1857 leaving no issue. She and her husband are on the 1850 census of Des Moines Township, Van Buren Co., Iowa, and on the next page is the family of John Baird her brother. She seems to have survived until 1877, so possibly her absence from her father's will indicates she had already received her inheritance in the form of a dowry.

Her obituary was found in a collection of undated newspaper clippings at the public library in Keosauqua, Iowa:
OBITUARY
Once more the golden bowl is broken, and the silver cord is loosed; but safe in the Father's house, in a mansion, built beautifully from holy living, the subject of our sketch has realized the blessed reward for the faithful.
Rhoda Ann, daughter of John and Eliza Baird, was born in Des Moines township, near Keosauqua, Iowa, April 30, 1843; spending her entire life in that community, and passed peacefully away at the home of her son John Thursday, Jan. 24, 1918, having attained the age of 74 years, 8 months, and 24 days.
On Feb. 21, 1865, she was united in marriage to Chas. Hull, who preceded her in death Dec. 22, 1915. To this union three children were born, John H., George A., and Selena J. Loring, all of whom were at her bedside. Beside [sic] her immediate family left to mourn her death, she leaves 6 grandchildren, three great grandchildren, two brothers, one sister, and many other relatives and friends.
[4307] From her obituary. Cemetery records imply a date of 30 apr 1844.
[14536] DAR marriage transcripts. However, obituary of Rhoda Baird Hull says 21 feb 1865.

Given name is illegible in her father's pension application file. Sometimes transcribed as Calley. Could the intended name have been Sally? She is listed as Sarah in the account of Fermine Baird Catchings, with impossible birth date of 1886 (obvious typographical error), and that account makes her the wife of Mr. Eddy. We give the children based on locating such a family in Morris Co. on the 1850 census.
[4450] Source is bible leaf included by Mary Bockoven Baird in her pension app. #W-27877 Rev., name is difficult to read. Could be Catherine, Calley, or Cathey.
