Falkirk Stirlingshire Scotland to Buckingham Virginia
The Baird trunk. John Baird married Jonnet Wilson in Falkirk Scotland 22 May 1670 per the Scottish Old Parish Registers. His grandson Henry Baird was baptized 1709 in Scotland and emigrated to Buckingham County Virginia. The Falkirk Bairds are a tenant family, not a cadet branch of the noble Bairds of Auchmedden or Saughton Hall. Y-DNA testing would resolve definitively.
