Alexander Porter Beard of Vigo Co., received a grant for 80 acres on 18 Mar 1837, being
the N 1/2 of SE 1/4 of Sec 19, T10N, R8W.
He was not in Vigo County for the 1830 census or the 1850 census. In 1840, Alex Beard was
50 to 60, with 3 males 3- to 40; 1 F 70 to 80, 1 F 40 to 50, 1 F 20 to 30, and 2 F 15 to
20.
Ancestry.com says he was in Honey Creek, but the grant was in Pierson Twp. On the
1900 plat map two Beards are in Sec. 19.
Looking for document references. Estate record 1840-50? Sale of land? Tax records?
Thanks.
