Biographical Sketch of Hannah (Broyles) Baird, Johnson County, Warrensburg Township, MO. 1918.

Mrs. Hannah (Broyles) Baird, a pioneer woman of Missouri, was born March 6, 1827, in Campbell County, TN. She is the descendant of a fine, old colonial family, prominent in the early days in the South, ancestors noted for great longevity. One lived to be 105 years of age and another, to the age of 103 years. In Tennessee, Mrs. Baird was reared, educated and married. December 25, 1845, Louis Baird and Hannah Broyles were united in marriage at Jellico, Tenn. To them were born fifteen children: Tasy and Nancy, twins; Louis and Hannah, twins, both of whom died seven weeks after birth; Mrs. Elizabeth McKinney, born November 29, 1848 and is now deceased; Mrs. Keisiah Benefield, born October 18, 1850, and died April 13, 1897; Mrs. Martha J. McKinney, born August 12, 1852 and is now residing at Elston, MO; Mrs. Samantha Smith, born April 24, 1854, and now resides at Nile, MO;Mrs. Eliza Emaline Cook, born December 25, 1857 and is now residing at Yeiser, CO; Mrs..

Mrs. Hannah (Broyles) Baird has fifty-four grandchildren, fifty great-grandchildren and four great-great grandchildren, having probably more descendants than any other living person in Johnson County, or perhaps the State. Louis Baird came to Missouri from Jellico, in the eastern part of TN, and located on a farm in Cole County, prior to the Civil War. Later, he moved with his family from Cole County to Raymondville, Texas, USA County, where he was residing at the time of his death, May 2, 1903. Burial was made in the cemetery at Old Lebanon Church. Mr. Baird was a capable, industrious, highly esteemed citizen, a man of genial, kindly manners, possessing countless friends. Mrs Baird makes her home with her son, John B., in Warrensburg. She is now in 1917, in her 91st year and until the last year has been as active as one much younger than she. For the past year, Mrs. Baird has been blind, but, with marvelous fortitude and strength of spirit, she is bravely and cheerfully bearing the affliction that has blighted the closing years of a good, pure, useful life. There is no one in Johnson County more worthy of great respect and honor than Mrs. Hannah Baird.
