Charles McKinney Beard

Notes:

Was he listed, in error, as Carolin, F, at the time of the 1860 census? Or was he missed entirely, or living elsewhere? Or, might the George Beard living with him at the time of the 1880 census not be the same George Beard that earlier lived in Newton County, Mississippi.

Family researchers in Sabine and San Augustine counties appear to think that Charles McKinney Beard and Benjamin Alexander Beard were indeed brothers, as the following postings to the following message board indicate:

My grandfather was Charles McKinney Beard born in 1846 Mississippi and I think Newton County. he married Jane Roberts of neshoba Co. in 1869. I am looking for his mother. His father was George R. Beard. I think that George R. Beard was married to a Martha Warren before he married Mary Ann Forbus Causey. If anyone has any information on either of these wivies will they please contact me. I think that Martha Warren was Charles "Mack" Beard's mother and that Mary Ann raised him. Mary Ann Forbus had been married to a Causey before she married George Beard and she had two daughters by the Causey maybe more children but I know of the two daughters. Thanks for any help.

George Reed Beard was my great--great-grandfather. His son, Benjamin Alexander (brother to Charles McKinney) was my great-grandfather.
My mother was B.A.'s granddaughter. Her father was Sam Beard. She is Rosalie Octava Beard Burns.
I'm sorry that I can't help about George Reed's marriages. The records we have are confusing. We have that he married mary Ann Forbus first and then married a Miss Cossie.
Do you have a picture of George Reed or Charles McKinney?Glenda Burns Minniece on 16 Mar 2010
