      I have in my possession a packet of papers including lineage work sheets and a fair number of letters used in the preparation of the Compendium of American Genealogy, dating from the 1930's to the early 40's. These papers have no connection to my Laird family, but may be of interest to someone on this list. I will send the packet of papers to the first person who requests them, tells how they are related (or may be related) to one of these families, and sends their mailing address.
      1. Ancestors of William Winder Laird, Jr. b. 1910
      James Laird, b. 1803 Ireland, came to York Co. PA. m. 1769 Martha Black
      Rev. James Laird, m. Dorothy Winder
      William Winder Laird, b. 1804, bm. Williamina Goldsborough
      Rev. William Henry Laird, b. 1842, m. Rosina J. Packard
      William Winder Laird, Sr.

      2. Ancestors of Warren Powers Laird, b. 1861:
      Matthew Laird, b. 1737 Ireland, m. Margaret Brown. Came to Cumberland Co.
      and later Nurthumberland Co PA with son James.
      Moses Laird, b. 1766, m. Jane Hayes
      Robert Hayes Laird, b. 1796, m. Maria Nevius
      Matthew James Laird, b. 1829, m. Lydia Powers

      Packets also inlcude extensive information about allied lines, including
      Goldsborough, Nevius, Jones, Chamberlain, Winder.

      I hope this can be of some use to someone.
