Surnames: Crowder, Bearden Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gBB.2ACE/1075.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Helen, I don't have much on the Beardens or Crowders. I have that John Crowder and Elizabeth Devine were married at James Beardens home and an E. O West was bondsman in 1875. Then in 1880 in Muhlenbeg county there was a William Bearden living one household above John Crowder. I thought there might be a connection. In 1870 Muhlenerg co census there is a James Bearden listed in Boggess precinct. I just can't seem to find anything else on John Crowder. Thanks for your help. Anna
