Roger, there is a marriage in the index for David Beard and Christiana Slice 5/11/1822. There are a lot of marriages for this family beginning in 1799. There are 11 Beard entries in the estate distributions, but they are single entries. The Maryland Herald entry on their marriage says her last name is Slick but the Torchlight entry says Slice. In the Torchlight Dec. 3, 1829 there is a lengthy equity case involving Philip Beard's estate. He was indebted to Eve Schnebly, she transferred that indebtedness to George Schnebly and after his death his administrator Jacob Snively brought the action after Philip Beard died. Real estate was to be sold to clear the debt. The action is against the following: Michael Beard, Peter Beard, Jacob Beard, George Beard, Philip Beard, David Beard, John Beard, Samuel Beard, David Troxell, Elixabeth Troxell, Peter Troxell, Margaret Troxell, Daniel Beard, Andrew Beard, Jacob, John and Catherine Hull, heirs and representatives of Philip Beard, Dec.d. Letters of administration on his personal estate were granted to complainant by the Orphan's Court of said co. A certain portion of the heirs of Philip Beard are non-residents of Md, to wit, Peter, Jacob, George, John, and David Beard and Peter Troxell and Margaret his wife, and Jacob Hull and John Hull. I did not find Philip's estate in the distributions. There is a marriage of a Philip to Elizabeth Keyser Dec. 4, 1802. There are 68 Beard burials listed in Vol. III of the cemetery books, a number of them at the Reformed Church in Cavetown. There are also 25 Beard burials listed in Vol. II. There is an entry in The Torchlight March 28, 18, 1827. "Died Mon last at his residence in Sharpsburg, John Beard, at an advanced age." I couldn't track down a Hull or Troxell marriage into the Beard family in the index.
