He married Mary Wright in Carolina, in 1803 ; removed with two children to Tennessee, and thence, a year after, in 1806, to a few miles below Hunt's settlement, now in Union county, and in October, 1811, to the present township of Harrison, cutting his road a part of the way through the wilderness, and driving his team with his family and household goods, and a cow and a calf, without assistance. He had a full measure of the experience of pioneer life. He is represented as having been an honest, industrious, and estimable citizen. He was for a time a member of the Christian society at Jacksonburgh, and one of their preachers; and at a later period embraced the Universalist faith. He is spoken of by one who knew him well, as " a patriot and a true lover of his country, at all times manifesting a deep interest in the prosperity of the United States, and the perpetuity of our free institutions; and that in the faithful discharge of his duties as a husband, a parent, and a neighbor, " he left behind him an example worthy to be followed." He died Feb.13, 1859, in his 79th year. Being a member of Hall of Milton Lodge of Free Masons, he was buried with the usual Masonic ceremonies on the 15th. His wife survived him less than two years. She died at Milton, Oct. 16, 1860, in her 81st year. She proved a valuable helpmate to her husband amidst the hardships and privations of pioneer life, and possessed in a high degree those qualities which adorn the female character, and which fitted her so well for the discharge of her social and domestic duties. The children of John Beard were : 1. Sarah, wife of Robert Willitts, who died in Iowa. 2. Isaac N. [Sk.] 3. Mary W., wife of Jacob Sinks, deceased ; resides with her daughter, wife of Kilby Ferguson, Indianapolis. 4. Malinda K., wife of H. C. Justice, who went to the far west some thirteen years ago, and is supposed to be dead. She re- sides with her brother, Isaac N., in Harrison.
