Re: Beard Family of Marion Co., IL

My gr. grandparents are Margret M. Beard & Tunis Vanderveer.Margret had 9 brothers & sisters, including "John William, James Madisen, Mary Elisabeth, Ezra Alven, Nancy Emaline, Frances Marrian, Infant, Randolph Alonzo, and Ida May."Spellings are likely wrong--I always wondered about that "Frances Marrian".(I know that Ida May married Robt. Henry Barnes.She (they?) is buried in LaHarpe.)Parents were Dr. Ezra Beard of Raritan, IL & Margret Brady.Ezra was born in Leesburg, VA on 5-10-1820, moved to OH in 1829, then to Raritan in 1865.Ezra married Margret Brady of Barnesville, OH on 9-28-1841.Margret had 10 brothers.I have obits for Dr. Ezra Beard & Margret Brady as well as my gr. grandmother Margaret "Maggie" Beard, and will be happy to photocopy & send if you feel we're on to something here.
