"December 25, 1853--A merry Christmas to you dear Fanny-"Puds" this day christended Sardis Birchard, to be called tell the children, Cousin Birchard or "Birch" for short, is behaving very well in Topsys care-..."
Letter from R. B. Hayes to sister Fanny
"December 26, 1870-- Birchard came home from Cornell to spend Christmas vacation last Wednesday. Looks thin but healthy and happy. Is grown but little. Much improved in scholarship and fond of his student life. We originally called him Birchard, with no other Christian name. "Simple Birchard" was our phrase about it. When he grew large enough to know that Uncle Birchard's Christian name was Sardis, he took that name also. Finding it was no more agreeable to Uncle than it is to me, we asked him to drop it which he did a few weeks ago. I now offered him for his choice as a middle name either of his ancestral names, Scott, Cook, Austin, Russell, etc., etc. He chose Austin, the maiden name of my grandmother Birchard. So Birchard Austin Hayes it shall be. "
