Clarissa True Bird
Daughter of Shippie Bird and Betsy (Beals) Bird
Shippie is the son of Aaron and Joannah (Glover) Bird, grandson of Aaron and
Ann (Shippie) Bird. (Aaron and Ann did indeed have a son named Shippie, he
was born in Nov 1768, but lived only 10 months.)
Betsy Beal is the sister of Sophia Beal, who married Philip True. Their
parents were Benjamin and Mary (Noyes) Beal. I decended from Philip and
Sophia's daughter (sister to Horace) Sarah Lucretia True. Sarah married
Royal Hancock Bird, son of Shippie and Betsy (Beals) Bird.
Philip True (1791-1885) was the son of William True (1760-1855) and Rebecca
Bradford (1756- ? ). Rebecca is a direct decendent of Willam Bradford, and
Willam True was a revolutionary war soldier. I have more on these families,
if you are interested. Including a copy of William's war pension.
Jasper Morton married #1 Joanna Ward Bird (1830-1858) in 1855, he married #2
Clara True Bird (aka, "Clarrisa") in 1863. She and Joanna were sisters.
