John Rupert Baird was a native of Mississippi, born at the plantation home of his parents, Dr. and Mrs. James M. Baird, near Wahalak, Noxubee\u00a0County, on May 6, 1841. He enlisted in Blythe\u2019s Mississippi Regiment, Cheatham\u2019s Brigade and selected as a sharpshooter. On April 26, 1866, he married Miss Nannie Catchings, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Catchings at their home in Brandon, Mississippi. They settled in Sunflower County, Mississippi where he accumulated a large landed estate and became prominent as a leading citizen. Many years before his death his health failed; but in the midst of his great suffering he was bright and cheerful, always sanguine, genial, and hospitable, interested in all matters of private and public concern. He died at his home in Columbus, Mississippi on August 27, 1916, and was laid to rest in Friendship\u00a0Cemetery, of that city. Their children were Dr. Thomas C. Baird, died March 8, 1916, and James C. Baird of Baird, Sunflower County, Mississippi. Dr. Thomas C. Baird was the father of Dorothy Baird Allen, mother of R. Julian Allen, Jr. and David Baird Allen. She was the grandmother of R. Julian Allen III, great grandmother of Kimberly Keach Allen, Katherine Perry Allen, and Karen Baird Allen.<\/p>\n

Prior to his death in 1910, the following story of his service as a soldier was dictated by John Rupert Baird in 1910 at his home, approximately seven miles from Indianola, in Baird, Mississippi. The following is copied from a transcript provided by the family and was originally published in the confederate Veteran magazine February 1917:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was at Bethany\u00a0College, Virginia, when war was declared and started home at one, going down the Ohio River from Wheeling to Cairo, then down the Mississippi to Vicksburg. Federal troops were then stationed at Cairo. As my father Dr. James M. Baird, with his family, had refugeed to his plantation in Sunflower County, Mississippi, to escape the Federals, I went directly there. Soon after I enlisted in Blythe\u2019s Mississippi Regiment, Cheatham\u2019s Brigade. We went first to Union City, Tennessee and drilled. I was selected as a sharpshooter and placed in the battalion of Major William Richards. We next camped for a short while at New Madrid, Missouri, going thence to Columbus, Kentucky into winter quarters, afterwards dropping back to Union City and vicinity. From there we went to Shiloh, participating in that battle. We then fell back and were transferred to Chattanooga and Stevensonville, marched through Tennessee into Kentucky, being in General Bragg\u2019s army, camped a day or two at Cave City, and had a battle at Mumfordsville in General James Chalmer\u2019s brigade. Here Col. William Richards, of Columbus, Mississippi, and of our battalion of sharpshooters, was shot through the lungs with a Minie ball. I was wounded on the nose, lip, and hand, and lost three teeth by being struck by a fragment of shell.<\/p>\n

I went home on a three weeks\u2019 furlough, then rejoined my command between Atlanta and Chattanooga, when we marched to Chickamauga and fought there and at Missionary Ridge, where I was captured and kept in prison at Rock Island for nineteen months. I was detailed as a clerk in the adjutant\u2019s office, on parole oath, to keep his books, records, etc., and was afterwards detailed in the office of the surgeon in charge as clerk. For this I was paid a small amount and received all the citizen\u2019s clothes I needed and many comforts. I was the freedom of the city, also of Moline and Davenport, under parole oath. During this time I made the acquaintance of many Southern sympathizers, known as \u201cCopperheads\u201d and frequently visited Miss Kate Perry and the Misses Buford all of Kentucky. I remained at the prison until all were exchanged, and when ready to return home I was given $25 and furnished transportation to Cairo and thence down the Mississippi River to Greenville. The captain of the boat refused to stop there, but went over to Gaine\u2019s Landing, Arkansas, where I spent the night on a plantation.<\/p>\n

The following morning I attempted to cross in a dugout, but was soon compelled to throw the water out vigorously with the paddles; and it became a problem as to whether to return or to continue to the Mississippi shore. When about half over, the boat began to sink. I eased myself out, first passing my arm through the handles of my grip, which contained many trinkets for the dear ones at home, such as beautiful pieces of jewelry made by me and other prisoners from rubber combs and other articles and inlaid with shells resembling mother-of-pearl. As the boat turned over I caught the gunnels and rested my chin upon the end which afforded a support. Thus floated for an hour and a half, until I saw a boat coming downstream. When the boat had come near enough, an Irish deck hand threw out an immense rope which struck me across the face and head, but I grasped it. I then held up my grip for him to take, but with an oath he said I was a greenhorn not to let it drop. Finally he reached down, and just as he caught the handles of the grip they broke, and it sank out of sight forever. I was in a dazed condition for a while after being taken on board. Fortunately, a Rock Island comrade from Louisiana named Hazzard, who happened to be a passenger, recognized me and procured restoratives which brought me warmth and life, and dry clothing was also provided me. I was landed at Greenville, where I borrowed a mule and soon reached my home in Sunflower\u00a0County. The kind friend, who loaned the mule was Mr. William Blanton, Greenville.\u201d<\/p>\n
