Family of William Beachum b. 1811 and Jane Burleson

b2222b — 2012-02-13 03:17:30Z

I have concluded that John A. Beachum b. 1833 and his brother Hugh Lawson Beachum b. 1838, who both res. Itawamba Co. MS for most of their lives, are both sons of William Beachum b. 1811 and his first wife Jane Burleson. Although this seemed likely (but not proven) in 2007 when I posted some data about it on the Beauchamp board at http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.beauchamp/2.5.44.1.1.1.1..., I confess that I have unknowingly had reasonable proof of it for 20 years, in the form of a letter published in Itawamba Settlers v. XII, no. 3 (fall 1992), p. 132. This letter dated 22 Mar 1876 was sent from John A. Beachum's youngest son James Robert Beachum b. 1860 to his uncle James Monroe Beachum; in it, James Robert Beachum calls James Monroe Beachum uncle and himself nephew. This could only be true if James Robert's father John A. Beachum were the brother of James Monroe Beachum, son of William Beachum. The other points I brought up in my 2007 post add credence to this conclusion - as I stated then, a will or estate settlement data for William Beachum b. 1811, if either could be found, might also support this conclusion. It had long been assumed without specific proof that John A. and Hugh Lawson Beachum were the youngest sons of John Beachum b. 1789 and his wife Anna b. 1791 (whose eldest ch. was William Beachum b. 1811), but I believe this is not the case; instead, John A. and Hugh Lawson Beachum are grandsons of John and Anna Beachum.

This is the family structure I have adopted:

William M. Beachum b. 4 Mar 1811 KY (also seen TN or NC), d. 19 Mar 1879 Aurora, Wise Co. TX and bur. Aurora Cem. there, mar. first 15 Jan 1833 Hardeman Co. TN to Jane Burleson b. 1 Jan 1815, d. 20 Aug 1847, bur. Beachum (Mitchell) Cem., Itawamba Co. MS, dau. of Aaron Burleson and Rebecca (Rebecca's surname possibly Rutledge, not proven). Some cemetery transcriptions give Jane's death date as 29 Aug 1845. Their 5 children are as follows:
i. John A. (for Anderson?) Beachum b. 21 Oct 1833 TN (probably Hardeman Co.), d. 19 Aug 1862 Itawamba Co. MS, mar. 13 Dec 1855 Itawamba Co. MS to Isabella Roxanna Allen, 3 ch. William Joseph 1857, John Wister 1859, James Robert 1860
ii. Hugh Lawson b. 24 Sep 1838 MS, d. 27 Aug 1869, mar. 14 Apr 1861 Itawamba Co. MS to Nancy Ann Tabler, 1 ch. Lula Jane 1866
iii. James Monroe b. 25 Jun 1842 MS, d. 8 Jan 1912, mar. 15 May 1866 Itawamba Co. MS to Rhoda Shumpert, 7 ch.
iv. Rebecca Ann b. 11 Jun 1845 MS, d. 2 May 1942 Dorsey, Itawamba Co. MS, mar. 10 Jan 1866 Itawamba Co. MS to Anderson Duke Martin, 8 ch.
v. Mary Jane b. 11 Jun 1845 MS (twin), d. 3 Jun 1901 Dorsey, Itawamba Co. MS, mar. 28 Oct 1867 Lee Co. MS to George Martin, 5 ch.
William Beachum mar. secondly 12 Feb 1852 Itawamba Co. MS to Arabella Davis Galloway and had 4 ch. Frank Wiley, Alice M. (d. yng.), Leroy D., and Quitman (d. yng.); a 5th ch. Dudley is sometimes listed, but this might instead be the middle name of Leroy or Quitman.

As best I can figure it, Clyde William Beachum Sr. (1891-1978) was a son of Hugh Wilson Beachum (1870-1940) and Regina Belle Simmons....and therefore a first cousin of my grandmother's. Hugh Wilson (my grandmother called him Uncle Wils) was a son of Jeremiah Washington Beachum (1830-1910) and Mary Jane Taylor (1836-1882). I can go back several more generations. I'd love to compare notes with you all. I was just trying to trace down Uncle Wils' children and found these messages.

Try going to yahoo groups and search for Beachums of Tennessee. There are many Beachum/Beecham/Beauchamp decendants there from Tennessee, North Carolina, etc. all the way back to Scotland.
