Polly Beard (photo taken ca. 1959). As far as I know, she never offered
any information on what the family history was, but she emphatically denied
any Indian heritage. Although she seemed to have Native American features,
she had brown hair and extraordinary green eyes

This is a photo of Uncle Jack taken a few years before he passed away.
According to him. he thought he was Irish or something. Definitely not
Indian. You can't tell from the photo, but his eyes were almost aquamarine.

This was my grandmother's younger brother, Perry Jackson "Jack" Beard. Born
1923 in Angelina Co, Tx and died abt 1996 in Lafayette, La. This was taken
when he was about 10-12 yrs. old. To paraphrase someone from the list, this
was a closed-mouth family. As far as I know, none of that family ever
shared with their children about where the family was "from". The only
thing that he and my grandmother were adament about was that they were NOT
part Indian.

My maternal grandmother, Alice Pauline "Polly" Beard was born June 6,
1917 and died Mar. 21, 1968. She was the daughter of Joseph Jeffries Beard
and Alice Thorne Hanks. This picture was taken shortly after her marriage
in 1933.
