In the court record it states that John Beard died in Georgia Jan 15 1831 or could be 1832. (Jason Norman had married Mariah Harris, granddaughter of William & Eleanor Beard - named in Eleanor's will.) Lettie Gregory Beard Norman was married to John Norman

Thank you, Anonymous Simpson, for rejecting the incorrect merger of William Beard and his son, John Beard. I don't know how I made such a mess. I have a very hard time getting around in WikiTree. I very much appreciate your help in getting rid of this particular error.
