"Rev. Baird was a pioneer minister that came from Maryland in 1795 to Kentucky. He settled near Levelwoods in the late 1790's when it truly was all woods. He quickly set about establishing the Levelwoods Methodist Church. He spent 54 years in the Methodist Church and was described as "An able expounder of the word of God". He died on April 17, 1846 at the age of 78. He is buried in a small family cemetery on his farm. The cemetery is about a mile from the Levelwoods Church. Many of the Beard or Baird family still descends from him today."
