Aaron Baird had a brother Thomas Beard who resided in Boston and died there in 1693. Thomas’s son John Beard administered his estate 13 Jun 1693, inventory 3 Jul 1696

Aaron Baird and Hannah and possible their baby Hannah went up to Pemaquid ME and left Thomas in Boston.

The Siege of Pemaquid occurred during King William's War when French and Native forces from New France attacked the English settlement at Pemaquid (present-day Bristol, Maine), a community on the border with Acadia.

Origin notes

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glover-5292

I do not believe Hannah Glover's mother was Mary Guppy as is often cited. It just doesn't mesh with the data -- I think someone compiled a load of data without much thought to there being more than one John and Mary Glover living in Massachusetts at that time. Even if it was usual to have 2 daughters named Hannah born 10 years apart both still living - Thomas Beard does not appear to have many (if any) living relatives at the time of his parents death. I find it far more likely John Glover, the tanner, of Boston and his wife Mary are, as depicted in the Glover family history book listed as a source on this record, the parents of my grandmother, not John Glover of Salem and Mary Guppy. Though it would be fun to have a scoundrel like Reuben in the family history :-)
