Sep 1883 buried Old Spanish Ft Cem Mahala died after the birth of 8th child. John was killed on a cattle drive Aug 1883. Both are buried in Old Spanish Ft Cem, Montague ct TX Looking for any info on Gid Beavers. After the settlement of his parents estate, I can find no trace of him. Also trying to establish John's parents. There is a Charles B Beavers in GA living next door to a John F Beavers for abt 3 census years.However they say they are from GA. One other Beavers in Tusc ct 1860 was William age 35 AL, wife Temppy? and 6 children. Possible parents for John in 1850 AL ... Jones Beaver age 32 SC, wife Elirabeth age 25 SC, Dick age 7 AL, Mary 5 AL, Lewis 1 AL, John 9 SC.(Fayette ct) Note: John is at end of list as if he might belong to another family of Beaver(s) and just living with Jones. Have not explored possiblity that they entered AL from SC thru TN. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Donna
