Misc. Notes
!NOTE: The Caroline E. Bird (born 1821) who married Abraham S. Grahl is probably not the daughter of Richard Bird and Elizabeth Westlake. The Asbury Bird Bible339 gives Caroline Bird's birth year as 1811 which is off by several years from the Caroline E. Bird who married Abraham S. Grahl. In addition, the oldest child of Caroline Bird and Zachariah S. Kelley was named Asbury. There really do appear to be 2 different Caroline Bird individuals. This record is for the Caroline E. Bird who married Abraham S. Grahl. The parents of Caroline E. Bird are unknown.
