This info was from Family Search. Then on Ancestry.com you can find him under Madison Beasley married Edy Woods and had a daughter Hariet. And that will give you info back a few generations. Some say the original progenitor of the Florida Beasleys was John Pitt Beasley--but I don't know that as a fact. How come I can find your Beasley in ten minutes and haven't been able to find mine in 30 years!!!!!! Happy hunting!

I'm not sure but I think anyone can post a query on the Beasley Association website: http://www.geocities.com/~rewoodham/beashist.html

I can't find out what happened to him. My GGGGgrandmother is Penelope Eveline Beasley Howell, she did not go by the name of Penelope, she went by Eveline. I have'nt been able to find out if she had any children with John. She married my GGGGgrandfather in 1866. The 1880 Chilton County AL Census lists children Elizabeth, Malind, Victoria (my GGGgrandmother), Rufus and James. If anyone can shed any more light on John Beasley, I'd really appreciate it. Elizabeth and Malind were born before Thomas and Eveline were married. But I don't know if they are his children or Eveline's and John Beasley. Katherine Toomey

Beasley but I think this is a different person. My great-grandfather, James Madison Beasley, was married to a Sallie Rebecca Townsend and had 6 children, one of them my great grandmother, Mamie Florida Beasley and she grew up and married a Smith. I believe Mamie was born in Florida, I know she died in Florida and buried in the Townsend (I think that's the name) family cemetary near Hawthorne. florida right outside of Gainsville in 1984 but I looked under the Alachua County cemetaries for the Townsend family and neither my grandmother or grandfather are listed. I looked for a Smith family cemetary and one is not listed. If anyone has any info, e-mail me at [email protected]
