Excerpt from Baird and Beard Families: A Genealogical, Biographical, and Historical, Collection of Data
I dedicate this compilation to the spirit of freedom, civil and ecclesiastical, born in the sturdy, courageous Scots, who, like the "eagles of their craigs," were keen-sighted, strong and fearless. The spirit of democracy which at that distant time protested against autocracy of church and state, having the courage of its conviction, tried to find freedom in Ireland, and later found it in the United States. Many of these men as "younger sons" left home, friends and comforts to stand for what is shaking the whole world today (a hundred and fifty years later) to its foundation.
Here this strong offspring of liberty today stands ready to help the Old World take its stand for the same great principle - like David, having not the armor of Saul, but coming in the name of the Lord God of Israel, not to kill, but to protect the great brotherhood of man.
