- 1850 Census Son: Sgt. Simon Allis Baird

-Death-
1860 Census Chickasaw Co., Miss.
- Simon Baird, Sr. Household -
In the 1860 census below it shows that Simon Baird is apparently a widower, as Elizabeth, has died.

The census also shows that an additional two children (Martha Baird & Ann Davis Baird) had been born about 1850 -1851, since the census of 1850, so apparently Elizabeth Baird would have died sometime between 1851 and this census of 1860, taken on July 17th. By the two census of 1850 & 1860, Elizabeth Baird and her husband, Simon Baird, Sr. would have had at least 9 children, and with a possibility of perhaps births before the 1850 census.
