Note by a user, attached to birth record of Lydia states, 'This birth record for Lydia Bullard helps confirm the accuracy of the birth record for Hannah Bullard, wife of Nathaniel Bird. Lydia Bullard Emerson provided an affidavit for Nathaniel Bird's Revolutionary War pension file stating that she was present at the marriage of Hannah Bullard and Nathaniel Bird in 1787 when she was ten years old.'
Unlear is the marriage of Lydia Bullard to Wilder Emerson (on Family Search profile) is accurate, since there is has been no marriage record found. The source of that information seems to be headstones in Rose Hill Cemetery Spartansburg, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, USA, one showing death of Wilder in Nov 1866, one showing death of Lydia Emerson in Nov 1858. If the marriage is accurate, then the 1860 Census for a Lydia Emerson age 83, shown below, is not for the Lydia of this profile.
