Baird Genealogy and Indian Mogul Tale From 1858 Letter
An 1858 Sugar Grove letter traces Baird lineage from Scotland to North Carolina, naming Bedent Baird and Ezekial Baird, tying to the Caledonia voyage, Jersey Blues, and Mogul conquest with Sir Arthur Wellesley. It notes the Kool-moor diamond and the Tennent church, plus Braddock’s defeat and Washington’s retreat, linking to Old Tennent history and families across several states.
