John married Mary Hall. Not Mary Bedent.
Source: A book called "State of New Jersey" page 567. (found on Ancestry )
It seems John Baird was married to both Mary Hall and Mary Bedent. It seems as gleaned from DNA matches I am descended from this John Baird and Mary Bedent Baird.
"Mary Bedent, after her arrival in America, married Roger Townsend, and the three younger sons are mentioned in his will.-(Westchester County, N. Y.
Records.) Thomas died intestate at Westchester, and his wife, Mary, was his
administratrix in 1698. It seems more than probable that this Mary Bedent was the second wife of JOHN BAIRD, of Topenemus, N. J., and mother of his children. Though he married Mary Hall in 1684, no children were born until 1700, when John, Jr., was born...JOHN BAIRD was married twice, as one tradition says he met Mary Hall in the woods and asked her to marry him. Another says he heard of a shipwreck and rode over and found a comely woman and asked her to marry him. He died in 1755."
