Dear Estelle, The Robert Beavers who married Jane Little is the one who I think my Silas connects with (as his grandson through Robert's son Silas). However, I have only just begun to work on Robert Beavers & Jane Little; I am mostly still trying to support my Silas as his grandson much less who Robert's parents were. I found a ged on the web that has Robert as the son of Thomas who married Martha Clack (not Cargill) & has Thomas father as a John but some files say they were from Germany, some Ireland. I have not done any work on them, except for a source I found on the Clack-Beavers that I have skimmed but not researched yet. I would love to know more about Robert Beavers & Jane Little and their children as well as his siblings & parents Thomas and Martha. These Beavers & my Silas Beavers are all found close in GA and then I can trace descendants in areas of AR & TX where my Beavers are also found. Could be a family connection. I will be happy to share what I have but it is not much. I have worked long and hard on my Silas Beavers line and am only just recently even sure that he truly was named Silas and might be a connection to Robert's son Silas. I have worked those GA Silas over the coals to straighten them out. I may not be correct in what I have worked but at least I have some logical conclusions to work with! :) Hope to hear more from you soon.

The Robert Beavers you mention you have the will and it mentions his children is this the same Robert Beavers that his wife was Jane Little and one of his sons was Reubin Beavers b. 1783 that married Mary one of the daughters of William Headen and Susannah Robertson. > If it is the same, I sent some information several months back to this >list.

He married in Virginia in 1738 to Martha Cargill the daughter of John and Catherine Cargill. Thomas Beavers father was John Beavers born circa 1680-1690, and died after 1762. > Let me know if this could possibly be the same person.

I'm trying to find the name of the mother of James BEAVERS. He was born about 1800- may have been born in Ireland (according to one census). He lived with his family in Roane Co, TN where he married Elysbeth FOOSHEE in 1819. James' father was William Irvin BEAVERS. I have his mother's name listed as Abigail but don't know if that's right. I'd like to find out her surname. The family eventually moved to Scott Co, IL. thank you, Alison Clement
