Wilcox County AlArchives Biographies.....Beck, Franklin King October 14, 1814 - October 12, 1864 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/al/alfiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Carolyn Golowka http://www.rootsweb.com/~archreg/vols/00012.html#0002972 February 26, 2006, 3:33 pm Author: "Alabama: Her History, Resources, War Record, and Public Men From 1540 to 1872,: by Willis Brewer, 1872, page 580 Franklin King Beck resided in this county. He was born in Dublin County, North Carolina, May 21, 1814. His father, Hon. John Beck, after serving in the legislature of North Carolina, settled in Alabama about 1819, and subsequently represented Wilcox in the general assembly. His mother was a sister of Hon. Wm. R. King. The son spent his boyhood in the county, and was matriculated at our State University, but finished his course at Georgetown, D.C., and then attended the law department at Yale College. Licensed in 1841,he located in Camden, and in 1843 was elected solicitor over Hon. T. J. Judge of Lowndes, but served only one term. In 1851 he represented the county, and again in 1855. He was a member of the constitutional convention of 1861, and soon after was elected Colonel of the Twenty-third Alabama. He participated in the privations of this regiment, leading it into Kentucky, and at the battle of Port Gibson and Bakers Creek. The day after the latter battle the regiment was left by accident (failure to receive the order) at Big Black bridge, and Col. Beck held Gaants army in check for twelve hours with his single regiment. He shared in the disaster at Vicksburg, and just after being paroled had his leg fractured by the kick of a horse. This disabled him for some time but he rejoined the command and began the march with Gen. Hood into Tennessee. At Resaca, October 12, 1864, while making a reconnaissance, a cannon ball struck the limb of a tree, glanced downward, passing through his thigh, and killed his horse. He fell, (his beast rolling over the leg fractured at Vicksburg,) and expired in a few moments. Col. Beck, besides being a lawyer and advocate of established reputation, was a wealthy planter. Enterprise and public spirit were marked features in his character. Hospitable, talented, and popular, his loss was severely felt by his county, and the entire State. His wife was a sister of Messrs. Robert and Felix Tait, and he left two sons and a daughter, who now reside in the county. Hon. Thomas K. Beck, who represented Wilcox in the legislature, was a brother of Col. B. Additional Comments: A monmument in the Camden Cemetery, Camden, Wilcox County, Alabmam reads: Sacred to the memory of Franklin King Beck CO. I. 23 Ala. Regt. C.S.A. Born in Duplin Co. N.C. May 21, 1814 Killed in battle at Resacca, Ga., October 12, 1864. Aged 50 years 4 months and 21 days. Franklin King Beck was married to Martha Jefferson Tait, daughter of James A. & Caroline E. Tait. Martha was born October 25, 1828 and died January 6, 1859. Their children were: William R. King Beck, born April 5, 1849, died December 5, 1885; married Mary Tait on February 8, 1885; her tombstone lists two sons, Franklin & William who were born July 1885 according to the 1900 Census, Wilcox Co., AL.

Mary "Mollie" Beck, born July 20, 1853(she married Col. Edward Nathaniel Jones) and died October 20, 1904. They had another son, John, born September 12. 1845, died May 16, 1848. Franklin's uncle, William Rufus de Vane King, became Franklin Pierce's vice president and took the oath of office on March 24, 1853 in Havana, Cuba where he had gone because of his ill health.

Ross was one of the first settlers of Wilcox. He came to Alabama in the territorial time, and was in the expedition to the Cahaba towns. HE was a planter here, and amassed wealth. He represented the county in one house or the other of the legislature for eleven years, closing his official services in 1844. He died several years later. Captain Ross was highly respected for integrity, energy, and practical sense, and was a very useful legislator. He left a daughter, who married the late Dr. Isaac F. Dortch of thss county, and his descendants are in the county. Additional Comments: This biography is from the book, "Alabama, Her HIstory, Resources, War Record, and Public Men From 1540 to 1872," published in Montgomery, AL, 1872, page 579. Per marriage records, Walter R. Ross married Ann S. McKerall on Sep 5, 1823 in Wilcox County. (1) She was Ann Shaw Spencer McKerrall, widow of William McKerral who had died before Sep 23, 1821. (2) Walter's daugher, Mary Ann, married Isacc Z. Dortch on June 7, 1843 when she was about 23. So, the marriage of Walter R. Ross was a second (or more) marriage. (3) Along with Isaac Dortch, Walter R. Ross was appointed administrator of the Estate of William Primm on Mary 1, 1848. They also posted a secruity.
