A Thomas Beasley married Susannah Jones (widow of Stirring/Sterling Brinson) about 1780 in Onslow Co, NC. About 1793, this Thomas Beasley moved to Burke Co., GA in area that later became Jefferson Co. Is this Thomas Beasley father to Thomas Beasley ( cir 1760-1829) who settled in Screven and Bulloch Co, GA? Sterling Brinson and Susannah Jones had daughter, Phariby. Is it likely that Phariby, wife of Thomas Beasley is Phariby Brinson? Children of Thomas Beasley seem to possibly be named for children of Sterling Brinson and Susannah Jones. Also, Phariby Beasley (Beezley) was member of Nevils Creek Primitive Baptist Church in 1814. And Land Transactions for Thomas Beasley and Phariby after the date of Thomas Beasley's marriage to Mary "Polly" Brinson has me wondering about who is the mother of the children of Thomas Beasley, as it appears that Phariby was probably alive until at least 1814. Can anyone shed any light on any of these mysteries? Dot Baker
