Kizziah Beard

Kizzie was the daughter of William Carter and Mary "Polly" Thompson.
She was born c 1798 in Georgia (possible Clarke Co.), and died some time between the 1850 and 1860 census.

SHE IS LISTED AS BEING A MEMBER OF THE BOGUE CHITTO BAPTIST CHURCH, PIKE CO., 1828-1834.
Records indicate about 1868, Aaron & Kizzie sold their property in Pike Co., withdrew their membership from the Bogue Chitto Baptist Church, and transferred to the Holly Springs Church in Marion Co.
His is the first name that appears on the original membership list of Holly Springs.
Aaron and Kizzie settled on property near the Holly Springs Church where their children Frank, Aaron Moses, and Sina Beard Carr settled.
She married Aaron Beard c1813 in Tennessee, and they had sixteen children.

It is not known actually where Aaron and Kizzie Beard are buried.
They may possibly be buried on this same property at the John E. Beard Cemetery.
It is most probable she and Aaron are buried in the area of Holy Springs, Marion Co. either at Holly Springs Church or very near Carr Hill at the beginning of Evergreen Creek where their Marion Co. property was.
John E. Beard was their son, and Aaron and Kizzie lived here also.

In May 2008, Mr. A.G. Alexander (who lived his entire life across from the cemetery on Coffey Rd.) stated "there were two graves under an old cedar tree too big to reach your arms around on the left just as you enter the drive way." The tree and tombstones are no longer there.

(Note: The location described above is just a few yards away from where John and Rebecca are buried.)
