Fred, There was a Samuel Baird/Beard on the War 1812/Creek War rolls of the 7th MS Territory Volunteers (AL/MS); do you have any link between that soldier and your Alexander ?? From my records there are a couple of families that settled in Lincoln Co TN that seem to be related to your Alexander. You will find in that TN county men who may have had ties to Marion Co AL (and possibly lived in Marion for a time), as follows: Thomas Beard/Baird b abt 1804 SC - his son, Alfred M., enlisted in 1st Ala Cavalry (USV); POW at Andersonville Prison GA, died there. Alexander Beard/Baird b abt 1812 TN, wife Nancy, at least 6 children, at least two sons and one son-in-law enlisted in 1st Ala Cavalry (USV). William W. Beard/Baird b Apr 8, 1822 Lincoln Co TN; (?USV soldier?), no further data. Joel S.
