Hi Susan, What a thoughtful thing to do!! I've collected old photos and postcards over the years, but rarely are there enough clues to trace them back to their origins. I know some Beasley family will be thrilled to connect with you son's Bible. My Beasley family has roots in Virginia and NC, so I'm sending you some names from my line in the slim chance that these names are there. Because names tend to repeat over generations, the William name stuck out. (Plus, my sister's name is Gloria.) I have a William Beasley (1767-1850/60) married to Rachel Robinette, Warren Co, GA. His father was James Beasley (1743 ...), who was married to Polly Ann Pate. James was son of John Beasley and Sarah Lilse (spelling). Then, James Beasley (1704-1742) m. to Mary W. Woollard (1704-1788), James Beasley (1675/76-1720) and Mary Cropley (1670), and Robert Beasley and Sarah Loadman (1640). This family has ties to Beesley/Beasley Island along NC coast near the Outer Banks. Long shot, but you never know. Again, thanks for putting this info on the Web so folks can find it. I hope this email finds you well.

I live in Japan ( millitary) My son Joseph lives in Norfolk, VA ( military) anyway he goes to thrift shops and buys stuff. He bought a very old bible belonging to the Beasley family..It has a lot of photos and stuff in the bible relating to the family. He gave me 2 names William L Beasley 1873 > Gloria L Beasley born April 18 1871. I can maybe get a few other names out of it for you if this may be your families bible. He wants to keep it but I told him the bible needs to find it's family. E-mail if it belongs to your family or e-mail me additional names that may be in the bible and i'll check on it. I think he said the bible dates start 1871 > Thanks! > Susan Kuckuk > > > ==== BEASLEY Mailing List ==== > "When an old person dies ... it's like a library burning to the ground." > Beasley-Beesley Surname Site http://www.ourchildrensancestors.com/beasley/ >
