~MY ANCESTOR~
Dorothy Bird married THOMAS LORD 23 Feb 1610 in Towchester, England. She (spelled Dorithee Byrde) was baptized in St. Laurence church, Towcester, Northamptonshire, May 25, 1588/9, the daughter of ROBERT & AMY/Amye BIRD of Townchester. Thomas & Dorothy Lord were early settlers of Hartford, Conn.
The will of Dorothy Lord (widow of Thomas) dated Feb. 8, 1669 is in the possession of the Connecticut State Library at Hartford, Conn., and is sealed with a coat of arms and crest, which is the same as that of Laward, aka Lord.
Richard Lord, Jr., son of Richard Lord and grandson of Thomas Lord, was favored by his grandmother, Dorothy Lord, who left him substantial property in her will.
___________________
Dorothy's will was probated at Hartford, 14 May 1675 (Hartford Probates, Vol. 3, p. 142), so I don't think she died in 1676. More likely about March 1675.
