Surnames: Beasley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/plC.2ACEB/1005.1 Message Board Post: My Beasley lineage passed through Tennessee. My G-Grandfather was Isiah Zade Beasley b. June 4, 1844 (haven't yet proven if in Tennessee) He appeared in the Hamilton Co., IL census in 1850 @ 5 yrs old with parents Daniel and Mary. I have been trying to trace the family from Illinois to Jefferson Co., Alabama where he married Mary Elizabeth Belcher in 1866. He fought in the civil war in the 2nd Mississippi Infantry. Look forward to sharing information.
