Beards
I am researching Beards in Vermont. Here is what I have so far:
My great-grandmother was Elizabeth Beard (16 Oct 1911-22 Dec 1995). She married George Baker (Sept 1898-Sept 1976) and had 11 children (some were from Georges first marriage to Ruth Miller (1902-1931). My grandfather was 1 of her children.
Elizabeth's parents were William Riley Beard (4 Dec 1878-?) and Grace Olive or Olive E. LaGrange (4 May 1878-26 Sept 1963). She had 7 siblings. I have a book of poems she compiled as Christmas gifts in 1990 for members of the family. One of her poems was written on her parents 50th wedding anniversary and was about the 8 children. I am willing to send a copy to those interested.
William Riley Beard's parents were Roland or Rossland Beard (1853-?) and Florence E. Kittell (abt 1853-?). He had 2 siblings that I am aware of (Melvin Beard and Marcia Beard).
Roland or Rossland Beard's parents are unknown by me, but I believe they were both born in Canada.
I would love to hear from anyone with info about this line, or can provide info to the ancestors I know about.
