Husband of Julia Ann Beach, 1846 and Hannah Ann George, 1853. From Centennial Biographical History, Hancock County, Ohio: "John Beard made his first purchase of land in 1852. It comprised of eighty acres in Hancock county. After working it a few years, however, he disposed of this and bought his present farm of eighty acres, which is without doubt one of the finest farms on Blanchard road. Besides being a practical and progressive farmer, Mr. Beard is well up in current events. He has a keen insight into political affairs, and sides with the Republican party. He holds the confidence of the community whom he has served as superivsor on the county board. Mr. Beard did not see active military service during the Civil War. He was enrolled as member of Company H of the Fifty-seventh Ohio volunteer Infantry Regiment, but supplied a substitute. In marrying Hannah A. George on February 17, 1833, Mr. Beard allied himself with one of the oldest families of Hancock county. She was born March 11, 1832, as the daughter of Peter and Mary Ann George. The father, long and widely known as the 'Land Hunter', was a native of Pennsylvania, born there on Octob er 13, 1790. He had moved to Pickaway County, this state, and as early as 1823 visited this county, though it was not until 1826 that he settled here permanently. He entered land in Liberty and Amanda townships, and at the time of his death owned three hundred and seven acres in the heart of Amanda township. He acted as guide to those who had come west for new lands, and helped them decide on locations and settlements. He was known to be strictly honorable and upright in his dealings with all, and has been well termed one of nature's noblemen. He raised a family of nine children; two of these lost their lives in the cause of national union and all but a few havepassed away." "The Beard and George families are probably the oldest and best known in Hancock county." (See Centennial Biographical History, Hancock County)
