He was born in Dennagal [perhaps Donegal?] Ireland, in 1823/29, perhaps to John Baird and Catharine Campbell.

place: 4, 6, 11, 19.
parents: 21]
On 6 September 1853, he married Martha Dickson.
She was born in 1822/23, in Ireland.
They were married by Rev Clarke Louden, pastor of Fifteenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
They had at least three children:
Charlotte Baird (b. 31 July 1854, PA)
William John Baird (b. 9 July 1856, Philadelphia PA)
Alexander Baird (born 21 January 1861, PA)
In 1860, Charles (6), John (9), and Henry W (4) are also living with them, and may be their children.
(If so, they died before Andrew Baird applied for a pension in October 1864.)
Charlotte is not, but an Elizabeth Baird is.
[sources: 15, 17, 22]
In about 1860, he was a mason, living at White street near South 15th Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
[source: 18]
In 1860, he was living in ward 1, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
He was living with Martha (presumably his wife), William, Charles, John, Elizabeth, and Henry (perhaps all their children?), and with John and Margaret Clark.
He was a mason.
[source: 19]
When he enlisted, he was a stone mason, and was living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
[sources: 4, 6]
When he enlisted, he was 5 feet 4-1/2 inches tall, had a dark complexion, grey eyes, and dark hair.
[sources: 4, 6 (5'4", dark complexion, blue eyes, brown hair)]
During the war
He enlisted and was mustered into service as a private in company B on 20 August 1861, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
He was transferred to company E.
[sources: 1, 6, 23 (mustered into co. E)]
On 11 February 1863, his wife, Martha Baird, died.
[source: 15]
For part of the time he was recovering from his wounds, he was living in George Baird's house.
[source: 15]
On 26 March 1864, at Warrenton Junction, he re-enlisted as a veteran volunteer.
He was enlisted by Lieutenant Brass for three years.
[sources: 4, 6, 15 (enrolled 28 Mar, mustered in 30 Mar)]
He was killed on 1 June 1864 at Bethesda Church.
He was a private, in company E.
His head was blown off while the regiment was forming a line.
Walter claims that they were marching in front of a rebel battery, which was firing into the woods at very close range.
"One of the shots scattered the brains of a comrade of Co. E".
His brother David buried him that night, by a road, with a board with his name cut on it.
[sources: 1 (Cold Harbor), 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 11, 15, 16, 23]
On 3 June 1864, his brother David Baird wrote a letter to their uncle Andrew, informing him that Alexander had been killed in battle.
[sources: 14, 15]
On 1 July 1864, the Philadelphia Orphans' Court appointed Andrew Baird guardian of Alexander's three children.
[source: 15]
After the war
On 6 October 1864, Andrew Baird, guardian of his minor children, applied (application 67,749) for a pension under the Act of 14 July 1862.
Andrew's post office address was 2013 Jones Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
John D Lentz and Edgar Gregory certified that Alexander was mustered in to the 91st on 20 August 1861.
His application was accepted on 4 April 1865, retroactive to 1 June 1864.
He initially received $8 per month.
[sources: 5, 10, 15]
He was buried on 2 March 1866 in Mount Moriah Cemetery, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
He was a stone mason.
He was buried from 1039 Lingo Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the residence of his brother George.
[sources: 11, 16]
On 5 September 1866, Andrew Baird applied for an increase in pension, under the Act of 25 July 1866.
This was granted on 26 November 1866, retroactive to 25 July 1866.
[source: 15]
In 1870, Charlotte and Alexander Baird (Alexander and Martha's children) were living with Andrew and Ellen Baird, along with Anna, Andrew, and Ellen (presumably Andrew and Ellen's children).
They were living in the ninth ward of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
[source: 20]
On 21 December 1875, the pension agent was supposed to suspect payment.
But on 19 January 1876, the pension agent was instructed to resume payment.
[source: 15]
The pension was scheduled to end on 21 June 1877.

[identification is uncertain: his occupation, the spouse's name, and apparent son William all support it--but note the other children (who could, of course, be nieces and nephews), and that Elizabeth must be Charlotte (unless the census taker miswrote 'Charlotte' as 'Charles')]
[note that Michael Haughy (household 153 family 189), weaver, is presumably 'Haughey Michael, weaver, White bel 15th', confirming that this is the Alexander Baird listed in the 1860 city directory below]
