David Beard Family in Ohio 1809-1872

I too am looking for a Beard family who lived in Muskingum Co., Meigs Twp., Ohio.My ancestor is Elizabeth Beard, born abt. 1803 in Pennsylvania.She married Aquilla Lett Feb. 18 1830 in Muskingum Co. Ohio.Both Elizabeth and Aquilla are classified as Mulatto on the 1850 census.However, a transcribed oral history of the Lett family refers to Elizabeth as a "half breed".There is also an Esther Beard married to Samuel Lett living in Muskingum Co.I am looking for a family link in that area of Ohio.
