General Notes: Husband - John Laird

---

He was born and married in Ireland. He came to the United States about 1792, alone, and finding employment on a farm, worked diligently until he had earned sufficient means to bring his family from the "ould sod." Receiving the necessary remittance, Mrs. Laird, Alexander, Jesse, Margaret and John, Jr., crossed the broad Atlantic, and about 1800, after landing, with some difficulty found their father, who had set out to meet them with a team. He brought them to his home in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and the following year they moved by wagon to Washington County, where they made a settlement near Taylorstown, Mr. Laird having purchased a tract of land in Donegal township.
Politically he was a Democrat.

His uncles, Robert and James Laird, came over subsequently.
