Margie, What book is it that you are referring to? I am researching my family history and am hoping there is something out there that I have not come across yet. I am looking for information on John Richards, John Richards, Jr., Robert Bird I, and Anna Bird. It is thought that John Richards, Jr. married Anna Bird, daughter of Robert Bird I and Catherine Holmes. I have only been able to go back to 1681-2 for John Richards, when he received a land grant for 1670 acres in St. Stephen's Parish. This land adjoined land owned by Robert Bird in what is referred to as Dragon's Swamp. I am hoping to find information that indicates Richards' whereabouts prior to this time. I would especially like to learn when the Richards arrived in Virginia. I have one source that states Robert Bird was born in 1637 in New Kent County. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
