During the middle ages, when the present fashion of shaving, which has become a necessity of the twentieth century, was unknown, men were sometimes distin- guished by sobriquets, and in this case the surname Beard referred to the append- ages on manly chins. Besides Beard, they were also designated additionally by the color or texture of the beard, as Fairbeard, Blackbeard, Longbeard, Heavybeard, etc. In speaking of Geoffrey Martel's death in 1060 A. D., Freeman says: "To his namesake Geoffrey, surnamed the Bearded, he left Anjou and Saintonge." A popular form in the Hundred Rolls was cum Barba, as Huga cum-Barba and Johannes cum-Barba.

(I) HENRY BEARD, first known ancestor of his line in America, died about 1830. He was originally of Pennsylvania, but removed from that State and set- tled in Ontario County, district of Sodus, New York. After his death, his widow, Elizabeth Beard, removed to Clarkson, Monroe County, New York. She executed a deed of sale dated May 4, 1831, which was witnessed by her granddaughter, Charlotte Beard, who was probably on a visit to her grandmother at that time.

(II) ALEXANDER BEARD, son of Henry and Elizabeth Beard, died before March 21, 1846. He was a blacksmith by trade, and found much profitable work at the time, as the Erie Canal, which was in the process of construction, passed through Lyons, New York. His residence and shop was on Water Street, facing the canal. He and his wife, Mary, or Polly, as she was sometimes called, trans- acted many real estate deals in the town of Lyons. In 1818, he sold a tract of land in the town of Phelps, this time the name of his wife did not appear on the deed.

However, on all subsequent deeds, Mary (or Polly) Beard signs with him in the transfers. Such of these deeds as give information of interest follow. The first is dated March 22, 1823, and in this his wife is called Polly Beard:

About this time Alexander Beard, with others, were sued for debt and they lost, in consequence of which his blacksmith shop was sold at sheriff's sale in order to satisfy the creditors :
SHERIFF'S SALE OF ESTATE OF ALEXANDER BEARD, 1828.
Whereas by a writ of Fieri Facias issued out of Supreme Court of Judicature February 22, 1828, Reuben Foster, High Sheriff, was commanded to make sale of the goods and chattels of Alexander Beard, Samuel B. Collins, William E. Perrine and William I. Van Dorn in the sum of $1487.00, which Ross W. Wood, partner of Thomas Acres deceased recovered of them the said Alexander Beard, Samuel B. Collins, William E. Perrine and William I. Van Dorn by reason of non-performance of certain promises on the part of said Alexander Beard, Samuel B. Collins, William E. Perrine and William I. Van Dorn made to the said Ross W. Wood. Whereas on August 18, 1828, for want of goods and chattels of the said Alexander Beard, Samuel B. Collins, William E. Perrine and William I.

As shown by the above deed, Jesse Beard, then living in Jacksonborough, Michigan, bought in his brother's property when sold by the sheriff, but the next year Alexander and his wife sold to William Sisson this same shop and dwelling house, which he had evidently been able to recover.
Deed made the 7th day of March, 1832. Between William H. Adams and Eliza Jane his wife of Lyons, County of Wayne State of New York and Alexander Beard of same. In Con- sideration of $1.00 a tract of land in the Village of Lyons known as Lot No. 25, being part of that part of said lot conveyed by Samuel Minkler and wife to Alexander Beard on which a blacksmith shop and a house were erected by said Alexander Beard situate on Water Street.
On September 4, 1833, Alexander Beard and his wife, Mary, sold their prop- erty to William Sisson. This was his last appearance in Wayne County, New York.
During the interval between 1833 and 1843 Alexander Beard removed to Honey Brook Township, Vigo County, Indiana, and the first record found of him in this new locality is in a deed of gift, under date of July 8, 1843, to his daughter, Char- lotte (Beard) Whitman :
This Indenture made July 8, 1843, between Alexander Beard of the County of Vigo and State of Indiana of the one part and Charlotte Whitman, wife of Henry R. Whitman of the State and County aforesaid of the other part. Witnesseth that the said party of the first part for and in consideration of natural love and affection hath granted, bargained, sold, conveyed and confirmed unto the party of the second part, her heirs and assigns, a certain tract or piece of land lying and being in the County of Vigo and State aforesaid designated as part of Lot No. 100 in Terre Haute on the Northwest corner of Market Street. . ..
In witness whereof the said party of the first part hath hereunto set his hand and seal. ALEXANDER BEARD
The following year he and his wife sold some of their original purchase in Vigo County. This deed is dated November 8, 1844. In 1845, they sold another piece of land, evidently part of his farm, and early the following year Alexander Beard was deceased. In the settlement of his estate mention is made of the "last will and Testament of Alexander Beard." A diligent search of the records in the clerk's office failed to produce such a document. Letters testamentary were issued to his widow, Mary; his son-in-law, Henry Ritchie Whitman, and William Manning, March 21, 1846:
Know all men by these presents that we, Mary Beard, Henry R. Whitman, and William Manning of the County of Vigo and State of Indiana are held and firmly bound to the State of Indiana in the sum of two thousand dollars . ... dated the 21st day of March 1846. The condition of the above obligation is such that if the above bound Mary Beard as Executrix of the estate of Alexander Beard deceased .... and shall truly and promptly deliver all the estate, goods, chattels and assets of the said deceased.
(Signed) MARY BEARD H. R. WHITMAN WILLIAM MANNING.
It was found that the estate was insufficient to pay the debts :

Cromwell W. Barbour as Executor of the Last Will and Testament of Alexander Beard, deceased, would respectfully represent to the Honorable Probate Court of the County of Vigo that he is the Executor of said Estate, and that said Beard departed this life in the year 1846, that he was largely in debt at the time of his demise and left a considerable amount of real estate and some personal property besides a certain number of debts due said decedent. But said personalty is insufficient to discharge the debts of said decedent, and the real estate will have to be sold for the purpose of discharging said indebtedness. Your petitioner here states that the personal estate of said deceased, as per sale bill amounted to .. .. exclusive of what the widow take under the law and debts due the estate which are available. The personal property is subject to certain deductions, or in other words, there were liens on said property which have been paid in full. The debts due and owing by said decedent are so far as known as follows, to wit: Judgment in the Vigo Circuit Court in favor of Ester Prevo Hook valued November 8, 1842, for $1227.18. .
On April 18, 1846, a bill of sale of the goods and chattels of Alexander Beard, deceased, was held at his late residence in Honey Brook Township. The proceeds of the sale amounted to $927.55. The inventory having been taken on April 6, showed that the entire estate amounted to $1,779.59. The court appointed C. W. Barbour executor of the estate in 1849 and he as such paid to Albert Lange $2.82, being State, county and road tax on "Lockport Farm," late in the possession of Alexander Beard :

(III) CHARLOTTE BEARD, daughter of Alexander and Mary (Barclay) Beard, was born in, or near, Lyons, then Ontario, but now Wayne County, New York, about 1810 or 1811, and died before February 5, 1855. As stated above, she was witness to a deed of sale of her grandmother, Elizabeth Beard, at Clarkson, Mon- roe County, New York, May 4, 1831. She also signed several documents with her husband in the settlement of her father's and mother's estates.
Charlotte Beard married (first) Henry Ritchie Whitman. (Whitman I.) She married (second) David Doe. On February 5, 1855, David Doe quit claimed to his step-children all right, title or claim to any of his deceased wife's estate:

(XIII) SIR JOHN STEWART, son of Sir James Stewart by Joan, Queen Dow- ager of Scotland, was born about 1440, and died September 15, 1512. About 1457 he was created Earl of Atholl. He took an active part in supporting the rebellion of John, Earl of Ross, and in 1484 was Ambassador to England. He married (first), in 1459-60, Margaret, daughter of Archibald, fifth Earl of Doug- las, and Eupheme Graham, daughter of Eupheme, Countess of Strathorn. He

(Cokayne : "Complete Peerage," Vol. I, p. 312.)
(XIV) JANET STEWART, daughter of Sir John Stewart by his first wife, Mar- garet Douglas, married Alexander Gordon, Earl of Huntley. Alexander Gordon was the son of Lord George Gordon, second Earl of Huntley, and his second wife, Annabella Stewart, youngest daughter of James I. Lord George Gordon married three times ; (first) Elizabeth (Dunbar) Douglas, daughter of James Dunbar, Earl of Moray, and widow of Archibald Douglas. This marriage was dissolved before 1459-60 and she remarried. Lord George Gordon married (second) Princess Annabella Stewart, daughter of James I, and by whom, according to Burke's "Peerage and Baronetage" (1930), he had eight children, the first being Alexander Gordon, third Earl of Huntley, above mentioned. Crawford, in his "Genealogical History of the Family of Stewart and Description of Shire of Renfrew," says: "Jean daughter of James I, married secondly, George 2nd Earl of Huntley : Children I. Alexander, 2. Adam," etc. This is the only account we have seen giv- ing her name as Jean, rather than Annabella, the volume being very old, having been published in 1710. Lord George Gordon divorced Princess Annabella Stew- art, at Aberdeen, July 24, 1471, and married (third) Elizabeth (Hay) Gray. (Gordon-Line One-XII.)
Alexander Gordon, as above mentioned, was the son of George Gordon, second Earl of Huntley, and his (second) wife, Princess Annabella Stewart. He suc- ceeded his father as the third Earl of Huntley, and died January 21, 1523-24. He was in command of a battalion at the battle of Flodden and was one of the few Scottish nobles who survived. In 1517, he was one of the Council of Regency and lieutenant of Scotland the following year. He married (first), as above stated, Janet Stewart, daughter of the first Earl of Atholl; and married (second) Elizabeth (Gray) Lyon, daughter of Andrew, second Lord Gray, and widow of John Lyon, fourth Lord of Glamis.

(XV) JOHN GORDON, son of Alexander Gordon and his (first) wife, Janet Stewart, died December 5, 1517. He married, in November, 1512, Margaret Stewart, natural daughter of James IV by Margaret Drummond.
(Cokayne: "Complete Peerage," Vol. VI, p. 677.)
(XVI) GEORGE GORDON, son of John and Margaret (Stewart) Gordon, was born in 1513, and died October 22, 1562. He succeeded his grandfather as Earl of Huntley and in 1548 had a grant of the Earldom of Moray. On account of waver- ing between the two parties of the old and new faith, the Queen, in 1561, bestowed the Earldom of Moray on her brother, James Stewart. This caused the revolt of the Lord of Huntley, who was defeated by the Queen's forces. He was captured and died, probably of apoplexy, soon afterward. An act of attainder was passed whereby his honors became forfeited. He married, March 27, 1530, Elizabeth Keith, sister of William, fourth Earl Marischal, and daughter of Robert Keith, styled Lord Keith, by Elizabeth, daughter of John Douglas, second Earl of Morton.
