Surnames: Bearden Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EgB.2ACI/2639 Message Board Post: Benjamin Bearden born about 1773 with wife Elizabeth, both born in SC moved to Giles Co., TN. They have been traced to Spartanburg Co., but who are the parents of this Benjamin? and who are the parents of Elizabeth. They had one known son Enoch who moved to Texas about 1856 and a William was on the 1850 census with Benjamin and Elizabeth in 1850 Giles Co., TN.(Was he a son?) I want some proof, not mere speculation, I have lots of that. Have much info to share on Enoch's line.
