I am looking for information on a D. S. BEASLEY. When my father was a young man he purchased a print of a family at prayer. The artist was "D. S. Beasley - 1920". The print hung over his parents mantle for over 50 years. I am interested in learning about this artist. Would he perhaps have been in your family? Regards,

My wife and I are trying to put together her family tree as elusive as it is. Her family starts with HENRY BEASLEY b. 1797? in NC, mar CHARLOTTE (???); their ch: DAVID, HENRY LARKIN, ISAAC, JEFFERSON and SARAH before moving to Coosa Co, AL. bet 1840 and 1850. Larkin fought in Co. G, Stewart's Calvary, CSA in the latter part of the War. We believe Isaac and Jefferson fought in Co. B, 2nd Bn., Hillard's Legion.

I can only go back to my Great-grandfather JOHN BEASLEY (4 Nov 1912), mar LANEY HUTCHINSON in Treutlen or Montgomery Counties, Ga. (the area's became Treutlen sometime after 1912). My Father was born in Montgomery Co. I think but it was changed to Treutlen, My Grandfather was JONAH E. BEASLEY (18 Nov 1878), son of JOHN Jr., son of JOHN Sr. -- gets confusing doesn't it? If you can help me out here it would be much appreciated. Thank you,
