It was there he married his last wife, having had one or more previous wives according to the custom of the country. He retired there and had a large property at what is now Birds Hill which was named after him. His last son, Curtis James Bird, inherited this property and became a prominent part of the larger community. His third son, James Bird (Jimmy Jock) had a long career as a free trader and sometimes company employee. (en)
