Martin Beard, Robert Beard and Lydia Cox
We now think that the father of Robert Beard is Martin Beard who was married to Lydia Cox in Maury Co Tn 24 feb. 1814. Please correct me if you think this is wrong.This family we think migrated to Jackson Purchase area of KY Graves, Hickman, Fulton Co.
My Robert Beard was born ca 1828. In 1850 he was living with Lydia Beard in Graves Co., KY. In 1852 he married Mary Jane Taylor in Fulton Co KY. On the 1860 census of Fulton Co., KY Lydia was living with John W. Beard. Robert Beard and his wife Mary Jane Taylor were also living in Fulton Co KY with their daughter Lydia (spelled Lidia in that census).
I believe that Robert, James, John were brothers. Does anyone know who the father was of these boys? I have been researching this line for a long time. Lydia Beard the daughter of Robert Beard married Thomas Dowdy ca 1879. They are on the 1880 census of Hickman Co., KY living with Robert Beard. My grandmother, Lucy Ellen Dowdy was born in 1882 in Hickman co KY the daughter of Thomas Dowdy and Lydia Beard. According to family oral history, Thomas and Lydia died sometime between 1882 and 1900. Lucy Ellen Dowdy was raised by her grandparents Robert Beard and Mary Taylor Beard. Any help with this would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. Janet Morgan Brown
