Hi Lanita, Thank you for the information you sent to me. I have seen some of these names in the past when I was working on this family tree four years ago. I'm sure there is a real good conection here. For William H. the age is just right. I didn't have any information as to who his siblings were. I am the last living decendant of this Beard family that had the last name of Beard at birth. I have one male cousin older than me that was my father's nephew. I am trying to find as much information as I can to make copies for my children and my cousins neices and nephews. My father had two brother's but they were both batchelors. I am 71 so figured I had better get busy on this while there is still time and I feel like working on it part of the time. Thank you so much for helping me out.
