Ar. and the Jasper was 1 yr old at the time with other siblings. Now we srarted out, Baird's from Ireland and they changed it to Beard along the way. They came to several states as Va. Pa. Ky. and TX.My Father-in law and his father William Henry then came to NM. I have a lot on the Beard family but don't recall any of your names in our line. I e-mailed a Loretta Beard for awhile but we could not connect. Let me know if I can be of further help, maybe we can help each other?
