General Notes: Husband - William Laird


His father dying during William's early youth, the boy was brought up by his maternal uncle, Samuel Isop, and educated in the common schools of Porter township, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. The Isop family resided on the Laird place, to which William Laird fell heir at his uncle's death, on condition that he would provide for his aunt, Mrs. Isop, so long as she should live. This he did to the best of his ability, and continued throughout his life to reside on the homestead.
