==========================================

The following is my line:

Barnwell Preston BEARD b.c. 1831-35;
married:
Annie CAMPBELL b.c. 1836-40 d.1899 Chas, SC.

children:
Rebecca; b.c. 1855
Martha; b.c. 1856
Ann; b.c. 1857
Harriett; b.c. 1861
William T; b.c. 1863
John (C or T); b.c. 1866
Barnwell Preston Jr.; b.c. 1867
Martin; b.c. 1868

(re: 1850 and 1870 Census, Warren Township, Colleton Co.)

Following traditional IRISH naming practices (not knowing if
these BEARDs are Irish or Scots):

*William T. would have been named after Paternal
Grandfather.

*John named after Maternal Grandfather.

and

*Barnwell Preston Jr. named for father.

So, I could search for:
William BEARD and a John CAMPBELL.

Was PRESTON more often a given name or surname during the
time period of early 1800's?

Any suggestions from anyone? Any connections? (that would be
even better) <>

I've been searching everywhere,
searching here and there....
I've been seaching. I've been searching.
