(there are also many Beesons included from the mid1800s, in the Center meeting records...lots in the Deep River meeting, ca 1790s. Apparently a bunch emigrated to Ohio, as did many sourhtern Quakers...they are in the Short Crerek/Mt Pleasant MM, in Belmont Co, Ohio. In fact, the HInshaw records are filled with the Beeson surname...so, if there is any special one you're interested in, let me know full name and some sort of date / Sandra
