Deborah Beard married Lt Timothy Clarke on May 10,1722 at Lebanon,CT.

According to Lebanon Barbour entries" 1. Timothy b 12 Oct 1695 son of William and Mary (Smith) Clarke Lieut Timothy d 12 July 1752 in the 57th year of his age m Deborah Beard on 10 May 1722 Their children are:

• 1. Timothy b 27 Oct 1723 d 14 Nov 1723

• 4. Nathan b. 13 Sept 1736
• 5. Deborah b 26 Feb 1742/3

In the two official documents, (the AGBI and her marriage record), Deborah Beard did NOT have a middle name. As of todate, there is no record of her death date. Her husband's will dated 13 Mar 1750/1, mentions 'his beloved wife, Deborah' to receive a share of his estate; so the rumors that she died in 1742 are false. Her birth date is recorded as "Deborah Beard b. 1699 in Connecticut vol 11 pg 293 of the American Genealogical Biographical Index.
