Disambiguation

There is a marriage record for a John Bear (1792-1870) and Elizabeth Miller (1784-1845) on 30 May 1817 in Shenandoah County, Virginia that some researchers may have confused with this John Bear and Elizabeth Miller, but the birth of this family's eldest son Jacob in 1816 makes it very unlikely that that marriage record belongs to this husband and wife. This John Beard and Mary Miller were likely married in Washington County, Virginia or an adjoining County.

    2.1. John Beard (16 August 1785 - 11 September 1855) He left Washington County after 1833, when he and his brother Jacob sold their inherited land. According to a son’s biography, he moved to Clinton County, Indiana in 1834.[29] He is in the 1850 census of Clinton County, Indiana age 64 with wife Elizabeth age 55. In 1850, he applied from Clinton County for bounty land for his War of 1812 service from Washington County. The application states that he “signed his name to his declaration in German as he writes nothing else.” Five years later, in an application for a supplemental warrant, he signed “Johannes Beard”. His widow later Elizabeth applied for a pension, giving her maiden name as Elizabeth Miller and the marriage date as 30 September 1813 in Sullivan County, Tennessee.
