From what we have found is that William did have a brother John.\u00a0 However he was born two years after William which suggest he would have been speaking English.

So I believe they got it wrong and it should be William&#8217;s father John spoke little English having been raised by Paul.<\/p>\n<p>We are pretty sure that Nancy was a nickname for Anna or perhaps even a middle name. Many many women were named Anna and most went by their middle name.\u00a0 Nancy was born in 1788 and was third generation. Current research show her father was John Baird and her grandfather as Thomas Baird or Beard.<\/p>\n<p>John and Nancy had four children, Maria born in 1806, William born in 1810, John born in 1812 and Jane born in 1813.
