Author's Preface. 
 
 The originator of this Beard genealogy was Rev. John Gunn 
 Beard, of Ellington, Conn. He collected and verified many of the 
 early records of the family. After his death, his widow gave the 
 papers to Rev. Willard L. Beard, of Foochow, China, to arrange, but 
 he did not find the time to do the necessary work. Mrs. Martha Clark 
 and Miss Emily Beard, of Milford, Conn., next undertook the task, 
 but ill health prevented their compiling the book. Then the records 
 were placed in my hands for completion. 
 
 In collecting and arranging these records, care has been taken 
 to verify, as far as possible, the dates of births, marriages and deaths 
 and other statements. 
 
 Efforts have been made to trace each descendant, but many letters 
 have been either returned or unanswered. Doubtless errors will be 
 found, but from those who have wrestled with a similar work and 
 realize the difficulties attendant upon it I am sure I shall have an appre- 
 ciative sympathy. 
 
 The sources, not otherwise mentioned, from which I have verified 
 much of the history of the Beard family, are Savage's Genealogical 
 Dictionary, Orcutt's Histories of Derby and Stratford, The Colonial 
 Records, Connecticut Men of the Revolution, the early records of Mil- 
 ford, Stratford and Huntington, Lambert's History of the New Haven 
 Colony, Mr. Erastus Scranton's History of the Township of Milford, 
 Story of the Memorial in Honor of the Founders of the Town of Mil- 
 ford, by Nathan C. Pond, and Who's Who in America. 
 
 To Mr. Oliver G. Beard of Shelton, Conn., is due thanks for the 
 financial aid necessary in the publication of these records and for the 
 loaning of the old manuscripts from which the three plates in this book 
 are taken. 
 
 To the various members of the family who have so generously 
 helped in preparing these records I wish to express my gratitude for 
 their courtesy and hope they will find their reward in seeing their line 
 of descent traced and preserved for future generations.

A 5hort History of the Founding of Milford, Conn. 
 
 Since Widow Martha Beard was one of the first settlers of Mil- 
 ford, it may interest her descendants to include in this book a little of 
 the early history of that town. 
 
 In the spring of 1639, the English first began to make a settlement 
 in Milford. 
 
 The colonists arrived in Boston, Mass., June 26, 1637, m two 
 ships, one called Hector. They came down to New Haven, Conn., 
 and remained there during the year 1638. 
 
 On Feb. 2, 1639, agents in behalf of the settlers made the first 
 purchase of land from the Indian proprietors. "It comprehended the 
 tract of land lying between the East river and the Housatonic, and 
 the sea with the Island south, and the two mile Indian path to Paugas- 
 set (Derby) north." The consideration given was "6 coats, 10 blankets, 
 1 kettle, 12 hatchets, 12 hoes, 2 dozen knives and a dozen small glasses 
 (mirrors)." 
 
 "The instrument was signed on the day aforesaid, by the Saga- 
 more and his council. The business was transacted with formality 
 and possession given according to the Indian method of 'twig and 
 turf/ A twig and a piece of turf being brought to the Sagamore, he 
 placed the end of the branch in the clod and then gave it to the English 
 as token he thereby surrendered to them the soil and all the trees and 
 appurtenances." 
 
 In all, eight separate purchases of land were made, buying "twig 
 and turf and all," the Indians reserving to themselves the rights of 
 hunting, fowling and fishing throughout the whole tract. 
 
 The number of free planters in the colony was 44, no others having 
 the liberty to act in the choice of carrying on public affairs in the 
 plantation. They were all professors of the Christian religion. Alto- 
 gether there were probably about 200 individuals and 54 families in 
 the settlement. 
 
 The body of planters traveled from New Haven to Milford by 
 land, following the devious Indian foot path and driving their cattle 
 and other domestic animals before them. Their materials for the com- 
 mon house and their farming utensils they sent around by water. Ser- 
 geant Timothy Tibbals piloted the company through the woods, he 
 having been there before and liking the place. 
 
 Upon arriving in Milford, they erected the common house and 
 a few rude huts for their temporary abodes. As soon as they were 
 established they combined themselves into a little republic. 
 
 At their first meeting, held Nov. 20, 1639, it was "voted and 
 
8 BEARD GENEALOGY. 
 
 agreed that the power of electing officers and persons to divide the 
 land into lots, to take orders for the timber, and to manage the com- 
 mon interests of the plantation should be in the church only, and that 
 the persons so chosen should be only from among themselves." 
 
 Also, "voted that they would guide themselves in all their doings 
 by the written Word of God, till such a time as a body of laws should 
 be established." 
 
 These first settlers located on each side of the Mill river and West 
 End brook. Their "house lotts" were laid out in parallel slips, con- 
 taining about three acres each. Some had double lots — two slips 
 adjoining. In consideration of her affliction, Widow Martha Beard 
 was given an extra amount of "house lott," her share being 4a. ir. 
 Each planter had to erect a good house on his lot within three years, 
 or it was to go back to the town. 
 
 The Indian name of this towm was Wepowage. On Nov. 24, 1640, 
 with the common consent and the general vote of the freemen the 
 plantation was named Milford. 
 
 At a general meeting Nov. 22, 1643, it was voted how many acres 
 of "house lott," upland and meadow T should be assigned to each of the 
 settlers, of whom only six had as large a portion as Widow Martha 
 Beard. She had 6 acres of "house lott," 37/^ of upland, and 19 of 
 meadow. At three different times the allotment of land given to her 
 by the town was increased. 
 
 The pastor of this colony, Peter Prudden, came from Edgeton, 
 Yorkshire, England, and probably most of the planters came from 
 Yorkshire and Herefordshire, England, where he preached previous to 
 his immigration. 
 
 Many of them came to New England in Messrs. Eaton's and 
 Davenport's company. Other of the colonists came from Wethersfield, 
 Conn., where Mr. Prudden preached prior to the settlement at Milford. 
 These originally came from Essex, England, in Sir Richard Salton- 
 stall's Company. 
 
 The names of these first settlers are engraved on the Memorial 
 Bridge in Milford, and with the names is inscribed this quotation from 
 Straughton, of the Massachusetts colony, "God sifted a whole nation 
 that he might send choice seed-grain over into this wilderness." 
 
A Genealogy of the Descendants of Widow 
 
 Martha Beard. 
 
 FIR5T GENERATION. 
 
 Martha Beard came from England, with her husband and five 
 children, and settled in Milford, Conn., in 1639. She was one 
 of the first settlers of that town. Her husband, whose name 
 tradition says was James, and probably this is correct as his 
 eldest son was called James, died on the ship (Martin?) in 
 passage from England to America. She was admitted to the 
 First Congregational Church of Milford, Nov. 1, 1640. This 
 church was organized in 1639'. She died June 11, 1649. 
 
 It is interesting to note that the "house lott" originally 
 owned bv Widow Martha Beard has never been deeded out of 
 the family, but has passed down in the line of direct descent 
 from generation to generation and is now owned by George J. 
 Smith. The old house has been removed and Mr. Smith resides 
 in another, erected near the site of the old Beard homestead. 
 
 Mr. Charles C. Beard, of Shelton, Conn., has in his pos- 
 session a sword which, tradition says, was brought from Eng- 
 land by Martha Beard and her husband. It is a straight, very 
 narrow, two-edged, pointed sword, evidently used for thrusting. 
 This rapier type of sword was used in England during the 
 latter part of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. 
 
 SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 Children of Martha Beard. 
 
 2. James, died t6j2, unmarried. His estate was settled by Captain 
 
 Act W ood, Judge, and was the first estate administered upon in 
 Milford. 
 
 3. John. There is a story that this John, who was a carpenter by trade, 
 
 hnded in Milford just as the frame of the large, two-galleried, 
 blue church had been erected, and that he took a sledge-hammer 
 and, walking all over the frame, struck every pin in it to show 
 what he could do.

 10 BEARD GENEALOGY. 
 
 From early records, we learn that he was a prominent citizen 
 of the town of Milford. He was the ancestor of all of that name in 
 that vicinity. Tradition says that he was a man of import. He 
 was born in England and came to America with his mother, in 
 1639. He was married about 1653 to Anna Hawley, sister of 
 Joseph Hawley, of Stratford, Conn. She had previously been the 
 wife of John Uffoote, (modern Oviatte), but at her desire had 
 been divorced from him. She was a peculiar woman, as old records 
 show. He was one of the 46 persons enrolled as freemen in Mil- 
 ford, September, 1669. At a meeting of the Council of Connecticut, 
 Jan. 17, 1675, he was appointed captain of a Military company, and 
 he took part in King Phillip's war. He was chosen deputy from 
 Milford to the General Court for the October term, 1677, and was 
 a member at most of the semi-annual sessions for seven years in 
 succession — the exceptions being October, 1681, and 1683, an d 
 May and October, 1684. There was no session in 1688, Andross 
 being in power. The last session when he was a member was in 
 May, 1690. He was therefore elected 22 times out of 26. He was 
 frequently appointed by the General Court, commissioner to settle 
 boundaries, etc. His name appears often on the Colonial Records, 
 and always a9 Captaine John Beard. 
 
 He died September, 1690. His estate was valued at 1180 
 pounds, 5 shillings, and 50 pence. One-third of it was given to 
 the widow, and the rest was divided among his children. Wife 
 died 1698. 
 
 4. Jeremiah was propounded for freeman by the General Court at Hart- 
 ford, May 11, 1671. He married but died without children in 
 1681. His estate was divided between his brother, Capt. John 
 Beard, John Streame and Nicholas Camp, husbands of his sisters, 
 says the record. Lambert adds, "They may have let their wives 
 have a little of it." 
 
 5A A daughter who married Nicholas Camp. She died 1689. 
 
 6. Martha, married John Streame, Dec. 20, 1649. He came with his 
 uncle, Zechariah Whitman, from London to Boston, on the "True- 
 love," Sept. 19, 1635, being then 14 years old. He came to Milford 
 in 1646 and was propounded freeman of Connecticut, 1665. He 
 was confirmed ensigne of the Milford Traine-Band, 1669. Widow 
 Streame died June 22, 1706. Husband died 1685.
