Steven, 

Was a SC port listed anywhere with this information? I think I came
across a find with the BEARDs listed in this information. My BEARDs
where in the Chas Dist area (Chas., and Colleton Co). This seems a
likely place to look for a connection. My last BEARD found was Barnwell
Preston BEARD born in 1831. He had a daughter named Martha (hoping for a
connection). I suppose my next step is to find more on the Ship, such as
port of entry.
