!REFERENCE: 15-Dec-1987 FGS from Jennie Vee Pitts, Atlanta, GA for Thomas Curtis and Lucinda Bird, ‘It is thought Lucinda was a daughter of Major Richard Bird of Lenoir, NC and Thomas Curtis was a foreman on Lucinda's father's plantations. Thomas supposedly asked Richard for permission to marry Lucinda and was refused, so they eloped and Richard disinherited Lucinda and she never saw or heard from any of her family again. This is not proven at this time."
