Biography
William was born in 1820. William Beard ... He passed away in 1901. [1]
- Mary King Beard was not stated as the the mother of the children who immigrated with William Beard. Records state for all the children as Father on board, Mother dead. Mary was only 26 in the ships records and Williams children were aged from 19 years to 4 years of age. So most likely married William just prior to immigration in 1854.
