Author:  Beers History of Brown Co, 1883

GEORGE BAIRD, farmer, P. O. Russellville. John Baird, father of our subject, 
was born in May 1807, in what is now known as Jefferson Township, Brown Co., 
Ohio. His parents were George and Jane Baird, who were among the pioneers of 
this county, and of whom we have made mention in another portion of this work. 
John was reared to manhood on a farm and received but a rudimentary education. 
In May 1832, he married Mary Fenton, daughter of Jeremiah and Rosanna Fenton. 
This union has been blessed with eight children seven of whom are still living-
Jeremiah, George, Sarah A., Rosanna, John J., Mary and Rufus T. He has been 
very successful during life as an agriculturist, and is at present residing 
with the subject of this sketch, his wife having died in 1874. George Baird, 
our subject, was born in March 1835, in Jefferson Township, Brown Co., Ohio. In 
his youth, he had not the opportunities of obtaining more than a rudimentary 
education. Having selected Miss Mary Smith, born September 1842, for his 
betrothed, their nuptials were celebrated in April 1873. She is the daughter of 
John S. and Ruth Smith. This union has been blessed with three children, two of 
whom are still living. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church at 
Russellville, a Republican and the owner of about 463 acres of land. He resides 
about two miles nearly due east of Russellville on his farm, which is in a high 
state of cultivation and pleasantly located.
