  4.   Source:Trask, William Blake. Bird Family complete mixes up three Mary Birds. On, p. 16 he says the daughter of James m. Naphthali Pierce, but the will of Benjamin Bird shows that was the daughter of Benjamin. On p. 14, Benjamin's daughter is shown with no marriage. Meanwhile, on p. 13, the Mary Bird who married Jonathan Kelton is identified as the daughter of Thomas, who is 23 years older than the age at death suggests and too old be to the mother of their 7 children. Actually it was the daughter of James who m. Jonathan Kelton, and probably the daughter of Thomas never married, since she signed an agreement regarding the division of her father's estate 8 Mar 1710/11 as "Mary Bird" (Suffolk Probate Vol. 17, p. 212).
