Sarah Beard, VA b:1817
My great-great-gradfather Adam Showalter (27Apr1814-6Nov1891) married Sarah Beard 3(or5)Apr1838 in Rockingham County VA.Some records have Sarah's middle initial as "E".
I can locate a Sarah Eleanor Beard (10Aug1817-?) of Rockingham, daughter of David Bell Captive Washington Beard and Ruth Rolston (or Roalston).David B.C.W. Beard was the son of Charles Beard and Esther Moffett.Charles Beard son of Edward Beard and Mary Bell.
Can anyone confirm that Sarah Eleanor Beard is the one who married Adam Showalter?
Also does anyone know the story of the name David Bell Captive Washington Beard?
I think I have a few Esther Moffett ancestor if anyone is looking for those.
Thanks
