On FamilySearch.org, I found a Heinrich Buegele married to a Margaretha Schaefer in Moerzheim, Germany. They had two sons baptized there: Conrad, b 14 Oct 1742, bp 16 Oct 1742 Johann Peter, b 10 Apr 1748, bp 12 Apr 1748 This Conrad would be about the same age as the one in the catechism records. Note that Moerzheim is a sister city of Frederick, Maryland, and several families from Moerzheim settled in Frederick County in the mid 1700s, including the family of my ancestor Christopher Michael, who settled very near Henry Beachley. Christopher's son George married Henry's daughter Mary Elizabeth. (Family legend holds that Christopher was the son of Franz Ludwig Michel of Bern, Switzerland, but I don't buy that.)

I am searching for information on the BEIGHLEY family, originally from Germany to US in 1754 when Conrad Buchele came here. He changed his name to Beighley later. Sylvia

I am hoping to make contact thru this list to the person who replied to a post of mine on Geneology.com. I no longer have an account there and am not able to reply to you.

Hi, listers, this post is re: Peter BEECHLEY and Martha Ann who were married in 1861, Allegany Co., MD. I don't know how many of you that have worked on this line, have the info that Martha Ann was full-blood Cherokee Indian. Some say it might have been Chocktaw instead. In my family oral histories, we have that her real maiden name was CASTEEL, and that she was raised by the DeWITT household, and used that name on the marriage records when she married Peter BEECHLEY. Well, when I don't have anything better to do, I try and think up possibilities of this brickwall.....here's the latest..... Is it possible that Martha Ann's Mother was the full-blood Indian and that she was married to a CASTEEL....he died and she married a DeWITT, and together they raised Martha Ann and her bro, Barney, and sister, Margaret as DeWITTs? Would love to hear from anyone....pro or con, on this possibility, thanks, and (be kind) Janice

Hi, as you might already know AOL is blocking all E-mails from Rootsweb mailing lists. I am completely cut-off from receiving. Would it be OK to post something on the list that if someone wants to contact me they need to do it off-list? I don't know the full scope of this current virus/worm invasion but it has sure put a halt to me research. Although, I am grateful for the protection that AOL is offering. thanks, Janice (descended of Peter BEECHLEY)

I tried searching the list archives and did not find any posts. Is this an active list? I am researching my BEECHLEY line out of Somerset Co, PA circa 1750-1840. thanks, Janice
