1. Jefferson Beard was born in Adair County, Kentucky about 1805. He married before 1839 to Talitha, last name unknown. She was born about 1810-1815 in Kentucky or Virginia. [Kentucky was listed as place of birth on all censuses until 1880, when Virginia was.] In 1840, they were in Adair County with two children under five. In 1850 they were still in Adair County and had seven children at the table. In 1860 they lived in the town of Columbia, Adair County, with a still full house of seven children. 1870 finds them at White Oak, Adair County, with four daughters at home. Jefferson Beard died after this census; in 1880 his widow was in Adair County with a grown son and daughter still at home. She passed away after this, but we do not have any dates or burial places for this couple.
