Green Beauchamp was born about 1800, in Baldwin Co., GA,, the son of Littleton Beauchamp, who served with the Maryland militia during the Amercian Revolution. Littleton Beauchamp settled in Baldwin County, Georgia, sometime after 1780, and migrated to Henry County, Alabama before 1819, where he died by 1822. William Beauchamp who married Nancy Perkins was the oldest son of Littleton Beauchamp and Green was the second born. Green Beauchamp had quite an adventuresome streak in him, moving about the new country and exploring it. He served Barbour county in the Alabama State Legislature during 1836 and 1837 and was a member of the Constitutional Convention in 1865. The other siblings of William and Green Beauchamp included Rachael, Labon, and Sarah. Green Beauchamp was married to Caroline Kennon of Ft. Gaines, Georgia. They did not have any children of their own but did care for the orphaned children of his brother William Beauchamp, who died in 1845. It has been said that Green Beuachamp was very sensitive about disclosing his age. He died in 1883 and is reportedly buried in the Beauchamp Cemetery, located on a small ridge off O'Neal Griffin Road, in the White Oak Station community. Contrary to previous reports that his grave was located by Mrs. Marie H. Godfrey in 1968, his final resting place is not specifically identified at this site. The obituary for Green Beauchamp from the Eufaula Times and News, 18 December 1883 read: Green Beauchamp died yesterday (17 Dec 1883). Home was in White Oak. Buried in the White Oak Cemetery.
