Need to find further proof of Martha's last name.
She died, probably at Charlestown, either 22 Mar. 1699/1700 or a day or two earlier. Again, date differs from other article on the Collins family.
This article uses 1628 for year of marriage in England.

Unsourced information on FamilySearch.org gives his parentage as Thomas R. Beard b. about 1808 and Mahala Jane Ogburn b. about 1819. However, the 1880 census shows he was born about 1850 in Kentucky. Also on FamilySearch.org, the son is listed as George William Beard 1878-1966, but we strongly suspect this is incorrect (and the dates based on a different man entirely), as George would more likely have been named after his grandfather, thus George Washington Beard.
One theory is that she was the widow Beard, and that her maiden name was Mayfield. There were several Mayfield families in the 1850 census of Turman Tp., Sullivan Co., IN &mdash and all of the heads of household were born in Georgia.
