I have been researching my family tree and have hit a rock wall on the Beasley side.   My great grandfather was Louis Beasley, born 1856.  The 1880 Ste. Genevieve county census has him listed as Louis Busley, born in Missouri.   Louis married Theresa Mead.   On the death certificate of their daughter, Rosella Thomure (which is available on the Missouri state website) it lists her father as Louis A. Beasley from Baden, Germany.   The census lists his father as being born in NC.  I believe his father was named John, but I am not for sure.    Any others out there searching this same line?   Thanks!
