Generation No. 1

1. JOHN2 BEARD (JOHN1) was born March 30, 1765 in Cumberland Co., PA, and
died May 31, 1826 in Williamson Co., TN; Lick Crteek. He married (2) MARY
BLACKSTOCK January 01, 1785 in Spartanburg, SC.

Notes for JOHN BEARD:
Both John and Mary are said to be buried in the Beard-Potts-Moss Cemetery,
Lick Creek area, in SW Williamson Co., TN. (Directory of Williamson Co.
Burials, Vol. III, pg. 159.)

John Beard's will was dated 18-FEB-1826 and offered for Probate in July of
that same year. (Will Book 4, P.114, Williamson Co.)

John served in the Revolutionary war as a soldier/ Private Horseman in SC,
for about fourteen months total at various times during the years 1779 -
1783; serving under Cap. John Irwin and Col. William Bratton. He fought in
the battles of Blackstock, Cowpens, and Kings Mountain, and was wounded in
the left shoulder by an enemy saber ("The Family and Decendents of Thomas
Newton Blackstock", by R.C. Karl, p. 101). Mary applied for a pension as
widow in 1847. (Application #R-670), which was rejected because of
insufficient proof of service.

A marker stands in the Greenbrier Cummunity of Southwest Williamson County
honoring several Revolutionary War Soldiers who were the settlers of the
area. John Beard is the first name on the list. Also Rev. soldiers named on
the marker were granted the lands here as payment for their Military Duty.

John and Mary were married by James Oliphant, a JP.
William Blackstodck, Jr.'s land was bounded by Oliphant in Spartanburg.

John was granted 108 acres of land in 96th Dist., Spartanburg Co.,SC, 2 July
2795. He was called "John, JR." in this deed. 15 Mar 1800, he was granted
an additional 45 acres.

John owned two tracts of land containing 50 acres in Williamson Co., TN and
willed to his wife in 1826. (Land rEcords, Williamson Co., Book I - 50 acres
5 July 1824, Page 39, #46, and 50 acres 1 JAN 1825, Page 62, #173) When Mary
died in 1853. (P. 117-118, Misc. REcords of Williamson Co., TN)
Note: Irvins/Irwins and Yarbroughs also attained lands here during same time
period. Could they have migrated to TN from SC along with John and Mary
Blackstock Beard?
