AnniePauline: I doubt that this is the William Henry Beasley that you're looking for but there is probably a connection somewhere. My William Henry Beasley was born about 1822 and died about 1823. He was born to Merrill Beasley and Anne Lynton Bragg who lived in Orange County, North Carolina. Let me know if you see a connection.
