Randolph, Guilford Co. LISTs: I found references to the Beard Family of Guilford County, NC in connection with my WALL line. . John Beard is listed on the 1790 Census of Randolph County, NC so he must be a resident of this county. He had 2 males under 16, 3 males of 16 and over, 3 females, and no other persons in the household. This fits John Beard & wife Margaret. John BEARD, b. abt 1749, Londonderry, England (North Ireland) died in Randolph Co., NC and was married about 1767. Children included William BEARD, born 27 Apr 1792; probably John BEARD's brother or father was the William BEARD referenced above. The younger William BEARD died 11 Jun 1870 in Raleigh, Rush County, IN - a big tipoff that he was Quaker. Rush County was directly south of Henry County, IN - I wonder if Wiley WALL and Jereter knew him? William's brother Patrick BEARD died 12 March 1831 in Centerville, Wayne Co. IN. His daughter, Martha BEARD, b. 1798, married Nathan COMMONS on 25 Oct 1819 in Richmond, Wayne Co., IN. Martha would be close to Wiley and Jereter in age. There were a lot of BEARDs in Rush Co., IN and other Indiana counties. Where was William BEARD's land on Deep River located? Does anyone have a record of this land? Thanks, Tim - researching WALL (Wiley, Samuel, John, Thomas, many others) HALEY (John), BUFFINGTON (Phebe), BEARD (William, John) and VICKERY (Absalom, Cassander/Kessandria, Christopher, many others)
