Hi Pat I remember you too. Somehow I lost contact with you. I could not reach you with the E-mail address I had. StorkRN92. I still have it in my address book. I didn't loose my e-mails. AOL still had it. I was surprised. After all I do not know much about computers. I think I had you & Leah Beard confushed. We are close relatives. If I am not mistaken I think my moms 2nd or 3rd cousin Annie Bell Beard Jackson in Linden knows you. I have met so many of the Beard & Melvin families, that it is hard to keep it straight. That is another reason I need my Family Tree on my computer. I would really appreciate any help I can get. I have not installed my Family Tree yet. AOL told me to wait & see if my Tree could be saved. My son-in-law is supposed to try & see if he can get it. If you could mail me I'll be glad to pay all expenses. I mean all. It would be such a blessing. Because I am really sick, that I seem to have lost it. I just hope my son-in-law can save it. He has my old computer. God Bless Burliness

I've received several emails since my post. I would ask that you guys do a google search for Neil Beard And my webpage should come up. If anyone needs anything, just let me know. Or if you want to add your info... I've looked so long, I do believe Neil swam over... leah

yes, I remember you. I had a crash myself a couple of years ago. Thank God I had sent someone a GEDCOM file and eventually, after looking and begging, someone sent my whole file back to me! I hope you have luck. Once it happens to you, you learn not to let that happen again. Life is full of lessons. leah ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 10:33 PM Subject: Re: [NCCUMBER] Neil Beard b @ 1690-1710 in Bladen Co now Cumberland1746 > Hi Leah > This is my Beard Family.

Hi Burline, I believe we have corresponded before. My grandmother was Lucy Melvin, daughter of Leck and Leola Beard Melvin - of Turnbull - Sharon Baptist Church community. I will be happy to send you my family tree - as if I remember correctly, we were very close "limbs" on the tree. I also suffered a computer crash - but was able to salvage my Family Tree Maker files - but not the program. I have since downloaded the free program from their website and restored most of my records. If you would like my records, let me know and I will email you the entire file and you can just delete my mom's family. Best wishes and Merry Christmas, Pat Earp Nashville, NC

Anyone else researching this family? I am trying to prove their ties to my Sampson County, NC McLEMORE family. Daughter Margaret Catherine BULLARD was said to have married Raiford McLEMORE, as his second wife, in Beaver Down Twp, Cumberland Co, NC in 1877. Also, it is said that Margaret Catherine Bullard was the daughter of Daniel BULLARD and Zilpha McLEMORE.

Someone provided a link to this information. Because of questions I have had about this type of bond, it seemed the info might be useful to other listmembers. Hope this helps as much as it helped me. __________________________________________________ The General Assembly of North Carolina mandated, early in the life of the state, that a system be devised to protect the counties of the state from being responsible for the support of children born out of wedlock.Thus came into being the "B******* Bonds." When the pregnancy of an unmarried woman or the birth of a child to an unmarried woman was brought to the attention of the court, a warrant was issued and the woman brought into court. She was questioned under oath and asked to name the child's father. The alleged father was then also brought into court and required to post bond. If the woman refused to name the father, she, her father, or some other interested party would post the bond. In some cases the mother and the alleged father posted the bond together. If the woman refused to post bond or name the father, she could be sent to jail. These records were extracted from state records by Rick Frizzell.
