Because of the date mentioned, this wouldn't be the Isaac Beasley referred to in the series of notes below, but rather, his (possible) uncle. In John Beatty's article, he believes that my ancestor, John had a brother, Isaac, both sons of William Beasley and both Revolutionary war Veterans. We know that John Beezley had a son Isaac, because he is mentioned in his will. What we don't know is whether this Isaac is the one who settled in Indiana and had the descendants noted in this thread. I do appreciate the reference. I re-read Beatty's article and didn't find reference to it. I'll ask him about it. By the way, Beatty's article also indicates that Isaac, brother of John Beezley, married and had several children, including an Isaac, born in the mid 1790's. This family remained in Virginia as census records show. Doug JoAnne Martin wrote: > Doug, found your message quiet interesting.

Good morning. I am a descendant of another William Beas(z)ley, R.S. who had a son, John, who had a son, Isaac. This William is first located in Pendleton County, S.C. in 1790. His son, John, moved to Franklin County, Ga., Gwinnett County, Ga, and finally to DeKalb County, Ga for the 1830 census. Any information of this line is appreciated.

Doug, Thanks, yes this Isaac was just one I stumbled across. We had bought the book at the gift shop at Pricketts Fort because of my husband's connection. My husband is a direct descendent of Col. Morgan Morgan through his son, David Morgan. With no further mention of an Isaac Beasley in this well researched (Now And Long Ago) about 700 page hard cover book it sounds like maybe this Isaac had no roots there but the Pricketts did. They are mentioned frequently. In fact Charity Prickett was considered the first white child born in the area. Interesting that some Prickets also have names of Isaac and Susanna. Maybe these first names were the Dick, Jane and Sally of the times.
