Sydney, I know there are a lot of Beards in the area but thought I would add "mine".My husband's grandmother, Mary Ellen/Ellen Mary Todd Bailey married 17 Dec 1928 Frank Sylvester Beard b. 23 Jul 1891. He was 1st married to Cora Seith and they had one son Donald. At the time Frank and Mary were married, she had 6 children by her 1st husband, Hiram Trotter Bailey. Frank raised these children as his children. Somewhere I think I have the names of his parents but will have to hunt for them. They were from the Ivesdale area and are buried in Shiloh Cem. outside of Mahomet, ILL. Emily Adams Matthews ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sydney H.

Sydney, I have a couple of Beairds in my tree. I've often wondered if they were related to Beard. Pj ----- Original Message ----- From: Emily I.
