TRY THIS:http://www.shahall.com Then look for "THE WALTON WAR", it mentions the names of three Beasley's Joseph,Samuel, and John. The story explains the state borders and how it had the settlers living in so many Counties and how it made it hard to figure out where you were living at any given point, this may be who you are looking for, it mentions Transylvania County/part of a border of two states. I am related to the Beasley's.
