    3. I am trying to find a Beaver/Beavers. This is all I have: Descendants of Jim Beavers Generation No. 1 1. JIM1 BEAVERS Child of JIM BEAVERS is: i. MINNIE MAY2 BEAVER, b. November 1863, Texas; d. 1918; m. JESSE KINMAN, March 29, 1885, Erath, Texas; b. October 11, 1860, Texas; d. October 15, 1937. Notes for MINNIE MAY BEAVER: In a letter dated 1977, it states that Minnie died on a reservation near Durant, Yarnaby Community, Oklahoma, buried in Yuba Cemetery. Father's name was Jim Beavers. It is believed the family was Cherokee, but Mr. Kinman (Jack, her son) said his mother was Regular Delaware. Minnie, returned to the reservation when she discovered she was going to die. She had a regular funeral and then an old Indian Chief performed ceremonial dances. The cemetery in Yuba is now on private property. No one is allowed on the property. Her grave was placed under a hugh Hackberry tree. The cemetery may not exist any more, because when someone went looking for it, they found the property the cemetery was suppose to be located on, was covered with heavy machinery. The man who owned the property was working on leveling, ect. Her death certificate is on record at the Durant Court house, Durant Oklahoma, which is only 17 miles from the Yuba Cemetery. It can not be read except the name is discernible. Jim Beavers the father of Minnie is buried in Oklahoma in Indian Territory near Ardmore. Notes for JESSE KINMAN: FHL Number 1026025 Jesse never road in a car. Even if he had a chance to ride, he would turn itdown. When Claudus moved to CA, Jess would walk to visit him. During one of his trips, he was found dead on the road somewhere in Arizona. More About JESSE KINMAN: Burial: Visalia, CA (Tulare County).
