descendent

My name is hunter willis, and i'm a reenactor with the 47th Va infantry. A friend of mine here @ Hampden Sydney college i have just found out is a direct descendent of a 9th Va company B Dragoon, He is ned Baird and his ancestor is listed in the Company F roster: Edward Rouzee Barid. I was wondering if anyone from your site had any additional roster information about him spicifically of any additional unit history they could send me. Thanks!

Re: descendent


Mr. Willis,



The only information I have at this time is what is on the roster noted below. It would seem to me Mr. Baird was not long with the Essex Light Dragoons - Co. E, 9th Virginia Cavalry. Since he spent most of his time during the war with George Pickett it would seem there is a story here to uncover. If you find out any additional information I will include it on the roster.



BAIRD, EDWARD ROUZEE: b. 1840. Enl. 6/10/61 in Co. F, as Sgt. Detailed as volunteer aide to George E. Pickett on 2/19/62. Lt. and a.d.c. to Pickett on 5/21/62 and still with Pickett in Feb. 1865. Alive in 1922



As for unit history there are several books written and you might find reference to them in the state archives or the Virginia Historical Society Library. Also at the archives you can find correspondences from Edward Rouzee Baird and William Baird in the collection noted as Mss1B8408a, Bryan Family Papers, 1774-1942,

Gloucester County, Virginia . You can do additional searches on the internet and probably find more.



Respectfully,

Linneus Ahearn

Mr. Willis:



There is another resource that the Capt. Ahearn did not mention. You could contact the Sons of Confederate Veterans for additional information. I do not have the URL for our local SCV (I know Capt...Bad Corporal, no biscuit!) but the URL for the Main SCV site is www.scv.org they can give you more information as to the local SCV in your area.

Anyway, good luck on your research.



Sincerely,



Steven Sturman
