    Notes 
    • BIRTH: Date and place of birth are approximations.
      MAR: No mar rec found. It has been frequently published that the wife of Thomas Bird was Mary. No record of her existence has been found. The claim is traced to Royal R. Hinman, CATALOGUE OF THE EARLY PURITAN SETTLERS OF THE COLONY OF CONNECTICUT (Hartford, 1852), 223 (FHL #974.6D2h). "His widow Mary d. in her old age, Jan. 22, 1729-30." However, Farmington vital recs show that Mary, widow of Joseph Bird, Jr, died on this date. If the wife of Thomas Bird died in 1730, she would have been nearly 130 years old.
      DEATH: No death rec found. See the inv of estate of Thomas Bird [of Hartford], 10 Aug 1662, distribution 3 Mar 1663/4, Hartford District Probate, abstracted in Charles W. Manwaring, ed, DIGEST OF THE EARLY CONNECTICUT PROBATE RECORDS, 3 vols. (Hartford, 1904-1906), 1:97 (FHL #974.6 P2m). The estate was probated in Hartford, but no place of residence is mentioned. Hartford land records show that Thomas Bird was a resident of Hartford from at least 1639. He is last mentioned in 1660. See "Original Distribution of the Lands in Hartford among the Settlers, 1639," COLLECTIONS OF THE CONNECTICUT HISTORICAL SOCIETY, 14 (Hartford, 1912):382 (FHL #897073).
