From there they split off to different areas during the Civil War or just afterwards. James & Elizabeth eventually moved in Hunt Co., TX, near 2 of their sons, and died there. There are 2 other Beasley/Beezley lines that married into this family. Rachel Beasley married 1st to Richard Simmons and then to John M Beezley. Polly Ann's daughter Sarah married Henry H (Homer?) Beezley. I descend from Sarah & Henry, so I have another Beezley line to trace still. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
