Research Notes

There is confusion about William Bird's middle name. The family history written by his cousin Eunice Vanara Crumly Smith states that his middle name was Philip. But his death certificate lists his middle name as Perry. In the record of Virginia Births and Christenings, he is identified as Wm P L B Bird. It seems likely that the L B stood for his father's given names, Levi Brownlow, but it is not certain.
