***Have found a couple sources that say the following, however I am highly suspect of the validity of this information:
Tabitha Lard was born on June 18, 1795, in Grange County, North Carolina, the daughter of Lucretia Creasy and Adam Lard. –No proof established that Lucretia or Adam are Tabitha’s parents.
