John Martin Bearden
Married (1) Mary Warren in Lincoln County, Tennessee, on February 13, 1838.
Married (2) Rebecca M. Tatum on October 11, 1875.
From the February 7, 1890, Issue of The Mountain Echo, Yellville, Arkansas:
"Uncle" John Bearden, who lived a few miles south of town, died last week. He was a splendid citizen, and was a soldier during the Seminole war. Why was it that the Mexican soldiers were allowed a service pension when none was ever endowed to the Seminole soldiers who served several years before the Mexican war began?
