Surnames: Beard Harper Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3R.2ADE/1784 Message Board Post: I do not know the exact spelling of her name, but Marion/Myron was married to Thomas Jefferson Beard of Elba. They had one son, Thomas Jefferson (Jeff), born around 1862. I heard that the elder Thomas died a young man of a gun shot wound. Marion/Myron later married Barzilli H. Mixon of Coffee County. Marion/Myron's parents were John W. and Martha A. Harper of CLarke Co., GA until they moved to Coffee Co. Any info on the Harper or Beard family would be greatly appreciated.
