Dear Daniel:
I have been trying to "sort out" all the Bird families of NJ, and
came across your web page. VERY NICE!!! Because I work in Rahway, I
have spent a lot of time looking into the families of Jeremiah Bird, b
1675, and Joseph Bird, b 1680, of Rahway ward, Elizabethtown, Essex Co,
NJ. I think they were brothers.
I noticed in you ancestral file that you have Benjamin Freeman Bird as a
son of Joseph Bird and Elizabeth Marsh of Rahway. According to the
Morris County marriage records, BF of Roxbury married Milly Reeves of
Roxbury, Morris Co. In the abstract of wills, there is a will of Esther
Freeman,1787, wife of Benjamin Freeman of Hanover, Morris Co, in which
she mentions her daughter Elizabeth Bird. I was thinking that this
Elizabeth might be the mother of Benjamin Freeman Bird, not Elizabeth
Marsh. There was at least one family named Bird living in Roxbury at
the time - there is a David Bird and an Andrew Bird in the 1778 tax
rolls. perhaps Ben's father is one of these men, or one of their sons.
Let me know what you think of this. I'm trying to fond a marriage
record of Elizabeth Freeman to a Mr. Bird abt 1770 in Morris Co.
