General Notes: Husband - William Laird

---

He inherited his father's farm which was situated on Marsh creek, Adams County, Pennsylvania. He was a man of strong religious tendencies and was an elder in the Presbyterian church. Soon after he and his young wife took charge of the farm on March 23, 1768, they became the happy parents of a boy babe which was named Francis.
Another source states that Francis was his youngest son.
