He was born about 1813, and was married to a woman named Nancy (Mary?),
who was born about 1820. They had the following children:
1. William
Bird, born about 1841

Emiline Bird married Noah Sprinkle, who was born about 1838 in North Carolina. Noah and Emiline Sprinkle were living in Wilkes County, North Carolina in the 1870 Census.
Emiline is listed in the 1880 census for Grayson County, Virginia. At this time, she is listed apart from her children, and they are in various households in Grayson County, which lead me to believe Noah had died prior to the taking of the 1880 census.
