Barna Beardsley was bom in 1797 in Delhi, NY. He married Mary Boylan, near Newark, Licking County, Ohio in 1820.
During the War of 1812-15, he served first as a wagon boy( War of 1812 Pensioners shows that he served as a teamster in Joel Craig's Brigade, Ohio Mil.) and then as a clerk in the office of the paymaster. He was several times sent out as bearer of important dispatches to officers in command of different posts in Northern and Central Ohio. He was a member of Joel Craig's Brigade, Ohio Military (?). Messages were conveyed by him to General Cass or Case at Zanesville, Ohio; to General Harrison at Fort Meggs and to the Commander of Fort Crognan, at Fremont, Ohio.

In 1834 he moved with his family to Findlay, Hancock County, Ohio, where his wife died in 1847. This was an unpretentious village. Here was real pioneer life with all its cares and privations. No roads, no markets, no farms, and almost no neighbors; surrounded by dense forests, inhabited by wild beasts and Indians. Here he lived until 1856, when he caught the western fever and went to Keokuk, Iowa, where he resided for about fifteen years after which he returned to his old home and friends. He was by trade a carpenter and was a Methodist for more than sixty years. His home was the home of the toiling itinerant preachers. He died in great peace, at Columbus Grove, Hancock County, Ohio in 1881.

History of Hancock County, Ohio by Warner, Beers & Co. 1886. 436 inder Liberty Township

Barna Beardsley a capenter by trade, came from Licking County, Ohio and with his wife, Mary and 7 children located north of the Blanchard River in Section 10 where three children were born. He afterwards moved into Findlay and bought a small farm. His wife died here in 1847. He afterwards married Mrs. Malinda V. Shannon and died in 1881 in Putnam County. Elmus W, Beardsley of Portage Township and Daniel B. Beardsley, Esquire, a lawyer of Findlay, are two of their seven surviving children and the only members in Hancock County.

Another biography of Bama Beardsley (Beardsley's History of Hancock County.) Barna Beardsley was the oldest of seven sons of Daniel Beardsley, and was born in Delaware County, New York, on the 9th day of March, 1797. His parents were from the State of Connecticut, and of course were Yankees. In 1803 his father came to Ohio and settled near Newark, in Licking County. When about fifteen years of age, Mr. Beardsley left his home and went to Columbus, Ohio, or rather to Franklinton--as there was no Columbus then--and during the War of 1812-15, he served part of the time as a wagon-boy, and part of the time as clerk in the office of the Paymaster. He was several times sent out as the bearer of important dispatches, to the officers in command of the different posts in northern Ohio. Dispatches were sent by him to Gen. Cass at Zanesville, to Gen. Harrison at Fort Meigs, and to the commander at Fort Croghan at Fremont.
After the close of the war, he went to the mouth of the River Raisin, and engaged in the carpenter trade. He also assisted in the erection of the first frame buildings in Sanduskly City. After several years absence he returned to Licking County, where on the 9th day of April, 1820, he married Mary Boylan, the eldest child of Aaron and Beulah Boylan. From that time until 1834, he followed his trade as a carpenter, and operated Hollister's Distillery until Sepember, 1834, when he came to Hancock County, his father-in-law and one sister having preceeded him, and took up his residence with his wife and seven children in a cabin on the present Infirmaray farm. The county was then very new, and being almost without means, a struggle commenced for the support of himself and his young family.

Fortunately, his services as a carpenter were in demand in the new settlement, and steady employment was had, at what was then deemed good wages. But as all materials for building had to be wrought out by hand, not many buildings could be erected in a year, and the work was of the most laborious kind.

In 1840, Mr. Beardsley and his sons having farmed quite extensively in addition to his work as a mechanic, he purchased of Aaron Hough thirty acres of land in Findley Township, and he and his family at once went to work clearing it up, and in the fall of 1841 had so far secceeded as to be able to move on it, in a cabin which had been erected,

Here his four sons, the eldest having attained his majority, and went out to do for himself, carried on what farming was possible on so new a tract of land, and the father worked industriously at his trade, building many of the first frame buildings in the town, as well as in the country.

In September, 1847, the wife of Mr. Beardsley died, and soon after the family were dispersed, the oldest son going to California in 1849, and dying there in 1850, the others beginning life for themselves at different places,

In 1856 he sold his farm, and went to Iowa, where he remained for about fifteen years, engaged most of the time in mercantile pursuits. He then returned to Ohio, and made his home with his children, in this and Putnam Counties, until the 4th day of April, 1881, when he died at Columbus Grove, Ohio, in his eighty-fifth year.

Mr. Beardsley was a man below medium size, but possessed of uncommon physical endurance, and the most robust health. No one perhaps in the whole settlement could perform so much hard labor with as little fatigue as he. an almost iron constitution enabled him to endure the greatest hardships and perform the greatest labor. Scarcely ever needing the assistance of medicine, he hardly knew what it was to be sick. Having been a frontiersman all his life, he was inured to all the privations incident thereto. His last years were years of great suffering, being afflicted with uncurable malady, yet they were endured without complaint.

Mr. Beardsly united with the Methodist Church when young, and was a member for more than sixty years. His house, in the early days of his residence here, was the home of the Methodist ministers, Conway, Hill, Allen, Heustiss, Wilson, Biggs, Tibballs, Seelay, Runnells, Breckenridge, Pope, and a host of other preachers have partaken of his hospitality.
