Subject: BEARD; GA, SC, Civil War, naming practices From: J Jilote Date: October 02, 1998 Beard, Bartholomen B. was an enlisted man, records found in the MUSTER ROLL OF COMPANY F, 5th REGIMENT GEORGIA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA C. S. A. RANDOLPH COUNTY, GEORGIA "CUTHBERT RIFLES" note: also listed in records for the 5th Reg. was William L. BEARD info found: http://members.aol.com/genwebindx/bindx.htm (12May98) note: Bartolomen(mew?) B(arnwell)? ========================================== 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) < Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
