Doug, found your message quiet interesting. Sending you a scan of an Isaac Beasley mentioned in Marion Co. area of what would later be WV during the Revolution. I did find an Isaac Beasley did apply for a pension but was denied. It may have been this one. This is the only time a Beasley is mentioned in this book (Now and Long Ago)on page 305. Also if you look above there is mention of Pricketts Fort. My husband is related to the Prickets and have been to the fort about 10 years ago. It is near Fairmont, WV.

Daughters listed are Rachel Sherry, Sarah and Elizabeth.(No mention of a daughter Jane and this is the first I was aware of a Jane. If Isaac and Susanna did have a Jane b. 1816 then it seems she would have been deceased by 1827) Isaac's wife at his death is Elinor(Plummer Pixley a widow he married in 1824, Rush Co.,IN > > I do not see a child Jane listed for Elinor in her earlier marriage.) > > Contents of Isaac's will can be viewed at the Montgomery Co., IN Courthouse, Crawfordsville,IN. > > Isaac must have been born earlier than 1795 when you look at the ages of his children.
