I found this info looking for Josiah and his father Samuel Beard. It is not something I have put in the computer because I haven't connected them. Let me catch my breath and I'll send you info on James W. Beard. I have the names (only) down from James that were taken from his daughter's bible. I can't get this to go through roots, so I am sending it direct...I hope! Joyce
