Elaine, thanks for the reply. I believe your James and John C. are of a different line than mine. It is confusing with so many Williams and JOhns. My ggg grandfather was John (no middle name to my knowledge) who had 4 children I know of ....Isaac, William M., John Allen, Sr., and Sarah. I'm of the John Allen (b 1812) line. Isaac died before 1830 but left a widow, Cynthia and several children who stayed in DeKalb Cty (buckhead) and then Fulton Cty. One of these was Simeon R. Beasley. I am trying to track his family and connect with Beasleys still in Atlanta today. Our lines may be misleading with the 1860 Fulton census. David
