Biography

Frank was born in Williamson County in 1836, the son of Aaron Moses Beard and Mary (Morton) Beard. He married Jane (Bradford) Beard in Williamson County on August 15, 1857.[1] Their children included:

  1. James Allen Beard (1860-1941)
  2. Louisa Laura Beard (1864-1940)
  3. Melinda A. Beard (1867-1946)
  4. Aaron Pinkerton "Pink" Beard (1868-1910)
  5. Mary Frances J. (Beard) Warren (1875-1954)
  6. Henry Davis Beard (1876-1956)

They made their home in Williamson County.[2][3] In 1900, he resided with his daughter, Mary, and her husband, Joseph Beard, likely a cousin to Mary, in Williamson County; the census enumerated marked his marital status as "divorced."[4]

He is presumed to have passed away in 1913.

Research Notes

There are indications and family lore that his son, Aaron "Pink" Beard was shot and killed by a Joseph Beard, perhaps the cousin and husband of Jim's daughter, Mary Frances Beard.
