Melissa, Very interesting. You have thrown new information my way. The early census reports don't help a lot. My first document of William (of my line) was of him purchasing property from James CAnon in 1790 (possbile 1786) in Pendleton Cty., SC. near a "big reedy branch". John Beazley witnessed. I has been my understanding this JOhn moved into Franklin Cty., Ga about 1804 and appears in the 1810 census there, in Gwinett cty., Ga in 1820 census, and in DeKalb Cty., Ga in 1830 just before his death. John had four children, maybe others, by two wives (so the history is told). Isaac and William M. were born to the first marriage and JOhn Allen and Sarah to the second marriage (an Indian according to oral history). Isaac died before 1830 and left widow, Cynthia and children. In 1848 JOhn Allen and William M. were administrators to William's estate. Oral family history states that William lived over 100 years. Cynthia and Sarah filed claim to interest in the estate. Where there other grandchildren or children of William? My estimate is that Isaac was born 1790 to 1795 and William M. about 1796. However, I have no comforting proof of this. It would appear that the Beasleys of the Pendleton Cty., SC census 1790, 1800 and the Walton War Petition would be related. How? Thanks. David
