My Grand mother 5 generations back was Letitia Beasley. She was born around 1854, and I am showing in Virginia. She passed about 1900 in Otter, Clay WVA. Her husband was James M McCracken, born 17 Feb 1853, passing around 1900 also. I am showing Letitia's father was Melton Beasley, and I am not sure about her mother, but I found Mary P. Williams. I also see that there was a name change from Beasley to "Beazley" between Melton Beasley and his mother Catherine Beazley, not showing his father's name. I am interested in finding out more about this and if I have the correct information. If you can help I would appreciate any info I can find. I am hoping you are somehow related to me! Thanks in advance, Tina McCracken Mann Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
