Moses BEDDARD
Ms. __?__
Eliza __?__

Please Note: I have no proof that Moses married twice, but the age difference between Moses and Eliza (and the smallness of it between Eliza and son William) strongly suggests he had a prior wife. The gap in age between Arsena and Martha suggests the changeover took place between them. His widower status in 1840 would explain why he did not show up as head-of-household in the 1840 census (i.e., he was living with kin), though it does not explain why I can't find him in the 1830 census.
