Notes
a. Note:   [Mark Bird Line 9-2005.FTW] [Master Bird Hulings 5-2006.FTW] He moved to Alexandria, Virginia in 1780 and in 1796 went to Warren Co., Ga., settling at the "Shoals of the Ogeechee" where he established iron works, among the first in Georgia. His plantation was called "The Aviary" reputedly given to it because of the beauty and charm of the daughters. The house was built in the early 1800s by the Bird family. The main part of the house was square, having four large rooms with windows to the floor, and a big center hall. When the windows were raised, you could walk out -- as if it were a door. With the blinds closed the room seemed cool. This part of the house had a wide veranda around it with banisters; the back was enclosed and had a hanging light and two stoves in it to help keep it warm in winter. From each end of the closed veranda was a wing. The wing on the right had a large dining room, a huge serving pantry and a "locked" pantry and a kitchen of two rooms at the foot of the back steps. Years later, the large serving pantry became the kitchen, as it was located on the main floor. The left wing contained the master bedroom with a small adjacent sitting room. The original kitchen, which was in the yard, had a large fireplace with all of the attachments for cooking in it; but this was not used for cooking. About two hundred feet from the kitchen as a "spring house" which was kept cool as the spring never stopped running water. The floor was long slabs of granite with squares a foot or more in depth down the center. As this was before refrigerators, milk in crocks, fruit and watermelons were kept cold as though they had been refrigerated." pg. 117 The History of Hancock Co., Georgia.
