I don't know if any of the Beard's went to Missouri.
This particular line of Beard's came from England to Nantucket Island. From Nantucket
Island, they went to Guilford County, NC and from there to Union County, Indiana.
John Beard (widower) and his two sons moved from Teighmouth, England to Nantucket in 1710.
George, the grandson, moved to Guilford Co., NC in 1772. William Beard was born in
Guilford Co., NC in 1784 and he moved to Union County around 1815-1816. He was one of the
founders of the Quaker Church in Indiana and helped to build the original church at Salem.
Sallie E. McCreary marries Alexander Beard.
Alexander Beard is the son of John Beard & Catherine Dubois.
John Beard is the son of William Beard and Rachel Pierson.
William Beard is the son of George Beard.
George Beard is the grandson of John Beard (who came from England.)
