M.B. BAIRD was born January 24, 1813, in Allegany County, N.Y.; son of
Charles and Hannah (Dimick) Baird, natives of New York, and of English and
German descent; they went to Wayne County, Ohio, in 1817, moving to Wood
County, Ohio, where they died. In the spring of 1838, M.B. Baird went to
Monroe County, Mich.; then in a few years went to Wood County, Ohio, where he
cleared up a farm; he was the first to run a separator in that county. He came
to this township in 1852, and located on his farm of 120 acres, which he has

1862, and served during the war with Gen. Sherman; Charles enlisted in the
Forty-fourth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and served until the war closed.
Mr. Baird is an able horse-farrier, and has a large practice; he was among
the active Regulators, and has served as Pathmaster a number of terms. He is a
Republican, as are also his sons.
