Re: Emaline Roten Beach m Jacob Seaver

Hi Mary...

I've come to learn that anything is possible...however, I think that the name "Emaline/Emeline" may have been the 'popular' name at the time. We have not found where her father James Beach is from. All we know is that he was born abt 1794-1797 and that he first shows up on the Garrard Co, KY tax lists in 1818. There is an older female, Nellie Beach, living in his household who 'pays' the taxes in 1827(?) and we are presuming that she is James's mother.

James married Elizabeth Loyd, marriage bond posted 2 January 1821 and married on 7 January 1821, Garrard Co, KY. To this union were born Emeline/Emaline, Nancy, John, Matilda and Joel.

Do any of these names sound familiar? Thanks...Kim

Well, that got sent before I was ready...

Any help with Lord Beach and his connections to the Garrard County, Kentucky Beach family...and the Roten family connection to the Beach family, if any, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. Kim

Re: erastus beach

outriders17 — 2010-03-11 18:49:43Z

I would love to hear more. My ggrandfather was William Parker Beach. His daughter, Mary Emaline Beach, married Isaac N. Griffin, I believe near Oneida NY. They moved around and finally settled in Ithaca, NY where my grandmother was born - and eventually my mother was born in Mary E. Beach's house. I have often wondered what drew them to Ithaca - relatives would explain that.

Thank you.

Re: Emaline Roten Beach m Jacob Seaver

outriders17 — 2010-03-11 16:25:57Z

This caught my eye because my ggrandmother was Mary Emaline Beach and thought there might be a connection since family names were so often passed down. My ggrandmother was born in NY, as was her father, William Parker Beach, a Civil War vet from the 44th NY, wounded at Gettysburg and married his nurse in York, PA.

Thanks

Lord Beach-(surname or title?), Grandfather of James Beach of KY

mulecrk — 2010-03-11 16:21:48Z

This query is in reference to James Beach, born abt 1794-1797 (in Virginia or the Kentucky territories-parents unknown) married to Elizabeth Loyd, born abt 1805 (in Viginia or the Kentucky territories-daughter of John Loyd Sr and Hannah Kyler) who married 7 January 1821 in Garrard Co, KY and lived in Garrard Co, KY until removing to Ripley Co, Indiana. By and through their daughter Emeline/Emaline Roten Beach, born abt 1821 Garrard Co, KY who married Jacob S. Seaver, born June 12, 1814 in Scott Co, VA...

A letter dated in 1953 has just recently been found in which a great-granddaughter of Emeline Beach and Jacob Seaver is writing to various "Seaver" relatives and asking the following questions:

She writes:
"1) Was Emeline Beach a granddaughter or great granddaughter of Lord Beach?
2) What was her father's name? [James Beach[]
3) What was her mother's maiden name? [Loyd]
4) What part of the country did they come from? [VA or the Kentucky territories]
5) Did Lord Beach have more children than the two sons?
6) How many?
7) Did you ever hear that Lord Beach went to Kentucky with Daniel Boone?
8) Did Lord Beach's son who was the drummer boy in the Revolution ever marry?
9) Is the story you have heard of Lord Beach any different from my version?
There are a lot of books on early settlers in different parts of the country and if I knew where the families came from I might be able to find them.
10) Do you know any interesting stories about either the Seaver or Beach families."

We have been unable to 'find' the parents or origins of James Beach mentioned above until he is first documented in the 1818 Garrard Co, KY tax list. From 1818, he paid taxes in Garrard Co, KY until 1830, with the exception of one year, when the taxes were paid by Nellie Beach (in 1827?) Nellie Beach is presumably James's mother who was living with them. It is abt 1831(?) that the James/Elizabeth Beach family removes from Garrard Co, KY to Ripley, Co, Indiana.

I am hoping that someone has some information about Lord Beach and his origins/descendants that may shed 'light' on the family of James Beach.

Also, any information as to the 'Roten' name possibly being a surname that is being passed down would be appreciated.

Re: BEACH E J 1862-1930

NWeissinger4596 — 2010-03-06 23:30:57Z

Noticed your note and pic of tombstone for E. J. Beach. My grandfather Charles (don't know his full name) Beach, ran away from home and ended up in Franklin, Simpson Co., Kentucky. He named my father, Charles Alvidore Beach. I noticed in that same Mt. Olivet cemetery, a lot of names similar to my father's middle name. I always thought that this must be some name of perhaps grandfather's mother or grandmother. Eugene Beach did a little background work on our family and thinks we descend from Thomas. The name (Charles) is found only in that family. Get back with me if you have any pertinent info, and I will share what Eugene gave me. Thanks for your kind reply. Nita Beach Weissinger

Beach photos

smodrcin — 2010-03-05 14:01:56Z

I'm hoping for quality reproductions of photos or renderings anyone may have of Ransford C Beach, wife Lucretia Sibley Beach, their children and particularly Sylvester Lafayette Beach or Electa Rand Beach (wife). Also, if anyone has bibles, letters, etc. anything written or owned by them I'd love to hear about it or have copies.

Re: The Beach Family Journal

smodrcin — 2010-03-05 13:55:53Z

His son just said he would pass the message along. I don't think he is interested. He's a clay sculptor with his own site. I was going through some old letters written by Beach family members to my grandmother many years ago (probably 40) inviting her to Beach family reunions. I followed up with some of the names to find the son but am at a dead end.

Does anyone have any photos or family bibles etc. from the Ransford C Beach/ Lucretia Sibley children? I'm hoping for quality reproductions of photos of Ransford or Sylvester Lafayette and/or wife Electa Rand. I think Lucretia died to early for photos but there may be renderings out there somewhere.

Re: Albert Lincoln Beach

ruthiej — 2010-02-13 20:36:50Z

So very glad to hear from all of you. This is the first time in 40 years that anyone has replied with the name Albert L. Beach. When in the Central American states he went by Alberto. I do not know about the last name. His wife, Emma Roberts, died there and I have not found out anything about when or where he died. I know he had two children, possibly born in California, the son's name was Frank. I am not sure but think the girl was Alice. His passport says he was a dentist.

Solomon Fay (SF Beach) Beach (newspaper man), wife Florence E Galbreath

Couggirl67 — 2010-02-03 00:07:17Z

I have some information on Solomon Fay Beach, the owner of Fenton Independent Newspaper (Michigan) in the early 1900's. I also have some information on Florence Galbreath's family, was written in a publication as Galbreach, which is incorrect. I have found what I believe are their grave markers (along with their son Robert) on findagrave, with their death years on them. I was wondering if anyone might have knowledge of how any of them died, or their actual death dates. I also am looking for information on their daughter Ruth Beach born 1905. I also have come across a record of a death of a Florence E Beach in 1915, the funeral home billed SF Beach, and it looks as if it was a child born on the 3rd of July, passing on the 4th of July of 1915. I am wondering if anyone has knowledge of a 3rd child being born that died shortly after birth or that was still born.
I'm more than happy to help if you are looking for more information on any of the things I do know about.

Hi Brian,

I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to do the thing I enjoy the most - Family Ancestry! (Big surprise)

You will be one of the first I contact with any discoveries, though.

I feel for you in your weather frustrations. It has been a very mild winter here in Western Washington. No snow to speak of but very cold at times.

Take care of yourself.

Thank you Ruthie! I hit this same brick wall when I was trying to get one of my nephews to do the test. They're scared of what this info might be used for in the future. Too sad! I have a pro working on this, so if I come across any info that might help you, I'll let you know thru Rootsweb. Regards! NitaP.S. My grandmother on my mother's side was named Frances ROBERTS. Her mother's name was Mary Cambell (or Campbell). We could be cousins anyway.

Thank you for your reply. My Albert was born in Ohio and lived in California. I have no clue at all as to when he left the states. He had two children state side, Frank and Alice. As far as male Beach line, there is one and he is interested at all.

Re: Albert Lincoln Beach

NWeissinger4596 — 2010-01-19 14:06:54Z

Albert follows the same ancestral route that my dna chart shows for my Beach family. Have any men in your family done the DNA testing? We have and are registered with the program. Only way to know for sure is to compare the DNA profiles. Our Beaches are R1b1b2a1a4. We're not sure what state my grandfather came from as he ran away from home at age 16. We can find no records of him except in Simpson Co. KY in 1880 thru to about 1895. He worked worked for a railroad. Was injured and died on the job. I would recommend the testing if you have any of your male line left. I'm getting my husband's testing done to trace his German acestry back into Germany and France. Good Hunting! Nita

Trying to find information on Albert Lincoln Beach (Alberto). Moved to Central America and practiced dentistry. First wife Emma Roberts died there and he may have remarried. I have the name Rual and Lucinda but do not know where they fit in. He may have remarried. Last known in 1927. He lived in San Bernardino, CA., Puerto Cortes, Hondyras and Nicaragua Quadalojara, Mexico. Born 1860 Marietta, Ohio. Would love anything on him.

Re: Family of Oliver Fairmont Beach

DKBeachgenealogy — 2010-01-08 20:34:43Z

Searching census material, an Oliver F. Beach is listed in the 1910 census living in Marion, WV, son of R O Beach age 42 and Lucy Q Beach age 38, Oliver age 4.

Your previous entry listed a Lucy who died in Washington DC.
1920 census had Oliver F. living in Washington DC,
1930 census had Oliver F. living in Washing DC, spouse Aldora E.

Currently, I do not have a subscription to Ancestry and access to all the information available. Possibly, someone else could give you that information.

If interested I could send you the names of Oliver, b. 26 June 1786 children and you could search for a connection. I, also, have Oliver forenames in my family.

Re: Family of Oliver Fairmont Beach

James_Feenstra — 2010-01-08 20:05:02Z

Well, I am actually looking for both, but I have no information beyond Robert Oliver Beach (except for a possible match in the 1880 census) and would be glad to find any.

Cheers,

Re: Family of Oliver Fairmont Beach

DKBeachgenealogy — 2010-01-08 18:20:35Z

Question: Are you looking for early genealogy on this family or living family members? The name Oliver references back to Oliver BEACH b. 26 June 1786, m. Elizabeth Ann Miller, who had 10 children.

I have no information regarding living relatives of this line.

Re: Beach Family Journal

johnhbeach26 — 2010-01-04 16:06:49Z

I never knew Eugene was in the tree service too, but maybe another son. Eugene is a lawyer. I see another address for him in the phone book in Southfield, MI and his son, Josh, lives in Ann Arbor, MI. His father passed on in 2007 and he lived in MD unless he moved to MI before he died.
Josh was the keeper of the website and the company that handles the server said the site was good until June 2010, but I guess they just wanted to stop it. Maybe too many people were trying to send data to and or contact them.

Kind regards,

Re: Beach Family Journal

I travel by the old mailing address used by Eugene Beach. A ranch house is present and next to it is a business titled Beach Tree Service (or something similar). I have sopped a few times but no one is present and there is no sign of activity. I was reticeint to actually go up to the door.

I do think think it was money but time and assistance needed by Eugene.

Re: Beach Family Journal

Re: Beach Family Journal

tandc1177 — 2010-01-04 04:08:05Z

I had some old family history from one of my aunts. Frank and Lydia (Spelled in the information that I have as Lidia) did have 8 children (6 boys / 2 girls). Boys: Henry, Leon, John, Russell (my GGFather) and Warren. Girls: Winnie and Emma.

I can inquire more, but info that I have is Frank Henry Beach. The Beach name has been out of the family a while. I do not know any male Beach to inquire about the lineage.

Re: Beach Family Journal

DKBeachgenealogy — 2010-01-04 01:50:54Z

After sending my previous post, I located Mary Jean (Beach) BOULIER with 11 children, the last in my file is Lois Lynn. Also, tracing your lineage back it reflects either John or Thomas as does mine.~Denis

Re: Beach Family Journal

DKBeachgenealogy — 2010-01-04 01:43:47Z

Upon reviewing my master lineage file, I have a Henry Franklin BEACH, b. 21 Feb 1869, Lexington, Sanilac County, Michigan; d. 21 May 1933, buried Lakeside Cem., Port Huron, Michigan; married Lydia Priscilla HENRY. This union has 8 children listed. The 8th child listed is Henry Franklin BEACH, b. 22 May 1908; d. 22 May 1908.

My first question is, which is the correct names? Henry Franklin or as you stated Frank Henry? Second, I would like to add the 4 additional siblings and their children to my data base, if this is possible.

Also, do you know of a Beach male from your line that would participate in our FTDNA DNA Project? If so, it would assist in determining early generations and if your lineage is derived from John BEACH.

I can be contacted at DKBeachFam(at)aol.com

Re: Beach Family Journal

tandc1177 — 2010-01-04 01:14:20Z

Funny thing is that I found the "beach family journals" online and told my mother. The family was amazed this was about 2 weeks before the site went down and I have been kicking myself since for not at least getting the information. I have been trying to track down the connection again, but there is a gap to published information.

My Grandmother was Mary Boulier (Beach). Her father was Russell LaVerne Beach (Married Fonda Marion Reed). His father was Frank Henry Beach (Married Lidia Henry). Mary Boulier (my Grandmother) had 12 children which were all listed on the website. I was trying to contact Eugene to give the detail on the 20+ grandchildren and there children.

Any connection you can give me would help. I believe that we are of the John Beach Branch. Thanks.

I also know that Eugene made a publication in the Church of Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake City. I travel to Utah often and am trying to plan a day in the library.

Re: Beach Family Journal

johnhbeach26 — 2010-01-03 18:45:57Z

We have been trying for sometime to contact Eugene. The Beach Family Journal web site was run by his son Josh and tried to contact him too, but to no avail. It would be kind if you to travel over to see if this site could be continued. It is too valuable to be shut down. Hundreds to sites link to it. Maybe some of the Beach researchers could float the cost.

Re: Beach Family Journal

patrickbeach50 — 2010-01-03 01:54:09Z

I have a complete compy of Eugene's published research. I think it is copyrighted so I cannot make copies but will look in the idex for you, as time allows.

I think it is in the New england Geneology Society Library and a few other places.

As researchers and people with inquiries we owe a LARGE debt of gratitute for Eugene's tireless work.
