Born in Alabama in 1849, Andrew Beard spent the first fifteen years of his life as a slave on a small farm in Alabama. A year after he was emancipated, he married and became a farmer in a small city outside of Birmingham. While in Birmingham, he was able to develop and champion his first invention, a plow. Three years later, he patented a second plow. These two inventions earned him almost $10,000, with which he began to invest in real estate.

Janney]], a former [[Confederate States of America|Confederate]] [[Major]] who was awarded a patent for his revolutionary invention in 1873.{{US patent|138405}} Beard's patent relating to the automatic coupler was one of some 8,000 variant patents awarded between Janney's invention in 1873 and the turn of the century.
 
Little is known about the period of time from Beard's last patent application in 1897 up until his death. He died in 1921.
