Hi Carl,
This is actually fascinating to me. After I got your email I called my mom up to get some details. I wish I could have information regarding William O but I don't. I remember when I was a kid the talk had been that my grandfather's side of the family came from Ireland. I remember them mentioning that the actual last name was Baird but when they came to the US it was changed to Beard. I don't know how much of that is true.
Just so you know I found a web site called Genealogy.com. I was looking through the Beards. I found that 2 years ago somebody posted that they had a picture of a young child and written on the back of the picture was the name Mrs Sam Beard from Cornwall PA. I tried to email this person but the email bounced back. I decided to post on the Beard message board asking if anybody had any information about William O Beard or that picture. One can only hope that we will get a response from it.
Now for the information that I can help you with. Let me first say its funny because there was a time in Cornwall that everybody knew who the Beards were. So it sort of surprised me that your father being on the Cornwall council didn't know some of this information that I am going to provide to you.
As you know Samuel Beard married Mary Beard
Samuel & Mary had 4 sons
Frank E
George H (My grandfather) DOB 12/08/1892 Died 05/03/1974 He was 81 when he died

Roy W.
George H married Hattie Dietz (they lived in Burd Coleman) (Burd Coleman was at one time made up of Beards and Dietz's and they were all related in some way) I forgot to ask my mother about when my grandparents were married.
They had 6 children
Robert Franklin (deceased) married Anna
George William (deceased) married Grace Wenrich (deceased)
James Russell (deceased)married Phyllis Dinardis
Kenneth Richard married Sally Ritz (deceased)

Mary Elizabeth
I think there might be another girl but I can't remember for sure.
Oh I just remembered something. My grandfather also had another brother that was not listed on your tree. His name was Robert. He passed away in 1995 or 1996.
My grandfather worked at the Cornwall Mines. I'm not sure if his brothers did as well. I think maybe Roy did.
I could go a little further with all of this but I will wait until I hear from you to see if this is the kind if information you wanted.
Please get back to me when you have a chance.
Take care...your distant relative

I would love any information on the ancestors of William O Beard and his wife, and on any information on their descendants.
Thanks
Carl

I was wondering if you were still looking for information on ancestors of William O Beard? I am a relative of William Beard.
Samuel Beard, son of William O, was my mother's grandfather. My mother's father was George Beard.
If you want anymore information I can provide a lot of information to you. Could you please tell me how you are related? I now live in South Australia but my mother still lives in PA...10 miles or less from Cornwall.
It would be great to hear from you.
Sincerely,
