My husband is a gggson of Reuben and Rebecca Friday Bearden. His uncle told him that Reuben was born in Carroll County, GA in 1812. I have not searched this line for a while. I thought that Reuben was son of a Richard, but, that was another, younger Reuben. I would love to take this up again and compare notes.
My husband's line is through Reuben's son James Pierson Bearden and his son Lee Andrew Bearden. Julie
