I am trying to find out what happened to the children of William BEARD, son of William Carver BEARD and Amanda BOATRIGHT, daughter of Levi BOATRIGHT. William and Amanda were married in Williamson Co., Texas on Jan 4, 1869. They had at least 4 children: Josephine BEARD, b. Dec. 1869 in Williamson Co., Texas. Alberta BEARD, b. 1871 probably in Williamson Co., Texas Stonewall Jackson BEARD, b. 1876 possibly in Williamson Co., Texas Mabel BEARD, b. 1878, possibly in Williamson Co., Texas. Their father, William, died before the 1880 census. Amanda was living with her brother-in-law, John B. REES in DeWitt Co. on the 1880 census. Amanda was listed as a widow. I don't know anything about what happened to Amanda or her children. It was believed that some of them may have moved to Oklahoma. Actually, I don't know exactly WHAT HAPPENED to William. He was not listed with Amanda and it is believed that he was one of the unmarked graves in the BEARD Cemetery in Granger, Williamson Co., Texas. Does ANYONE recognize these names? There were stories that the Beard-Boatright children went to Oklahoma. Would love to hear from you. Jackie Morgan in San Antonio
