I may be able to assist with the "dispute" regarding whether George was a son of Jacob and Mary Beckley. I have been to the Harrison County Genealogical Society in Cadiz, Ohio where they have on file the disbursements of Mary's estate and there are separate entries as to what was given to and received by (signed off) John and George and the other children in this family. A real thrill to handle and copy these original documents! I am still searching for Jacob and Mary's confirmed birthplace (Germany or US?). I would really appreciate anyone sharing what information they have in this regard. Thanks
