JONATHAN BEVARD, deceased, was born in Frederick County, Maryland, in 1803. When he was seven years of age, his father, William BEVARD, moved to Guernsey County, Ohio, where Jonathan was reared, devoting his time principally to farm labor.
In that county he married Miss Charity Marsh, in 1833. She was born in Guernsey County. About fifteen years after their marriage they removed to Grant County, Indiana. To them were born eleven children-- Rachel Ann, now the wife of S. T. Brown, of Franklin Township; James Martin, who died in Franklin Township, leaving a wife and four children; Jesse, who died in the United States service during the late war and was buried at Indianapolis; Mrs. Phebe Jane Crawford, residing in Furness County, Nebraska; Charles Wesley, of Lucas County, Iowa; Mary Ann, who died in infancy; Enoch Calvin, also died young; Mrs. Matilda Cherryholmes, residing in Lucas County, Iowa; Isaac R., living in Franklin Township; Mrs. Amanda Foulk, now residing in Kansas; John F., of Franklin Township.
Mr. Bevard came to Franklin Township in 1864 and purchased the pioneer homestead of Abner Beagle, on section 26, consisting of 160 acres of improved prairie land and forty acres of timber. August 2, 1877, Mrs. Bevard died, aged sixty-three years. Her husband survived her but a few years. He passed away July 21, 1881, aged seventy-eight years. Both were members of the Methodist Episcopal church, and had lived lives of great usefulness.
Isaac R. Bevard, son of the preceding, was born in Grant County, Indiana, April 30, 1853. He came to Clarke County with his parents in 1864, and made his home with them during their life. He and his brother John F. now own and occupy the old homestead on section 26.
January 9, 1876, Mr. I. R. Bevard married Miss Ruth Cherryholmes, daughter of John and Mary Cherryholmes. She was born in Lucas County, this State, October 15, 1857. They have three children-- William C., Oscar L. and John W. Mr. Bevard is a member of the United Brethren church, and in politics, a Democrat. It is worthy of mention that his father brought a mare colt from Indiana in 1864, which now, at twenty-two years of age, is still a serviceable mare, with a young colt by her side. She is more highly prized than any other animal in possession of the family.
