Re: Beard/Biard, Josiah L, John Marshall B..

In the 1870 Census of Benton county Arkansas...Josiah Beard is listed as a Blacksmith ....Osage township...My GGrandfather is listed in the household with him...Abel Fields...I am searching for Abels grave or where he is buried as in Washington county there is a probate record in 1872 for Abel...Can you tell me anything about the Fields connection to the Beard family...Our Fields family is from Maury County Tennessee son of John Fields...We would love to hear from you...Grasping at straws sort of...We do not know who Abels mother was, could she have been a Beard????Thanks for your time, Carolyn
