Charles, The cemetery record definitely reads "Mary A.C. Beckham" (born in 1825, died in 1914). Just before Dr. Beckham on the list is Stephen A. Beckham, Died 12 June 1864, Age 17 years and Eugene Ellsworth Beckham, b. 7 Sept 1863, d. 18 Aug 1938. Lynn caldw wrote: > My records indicate that Joseph C. Beckham married twice.

Thanks, will remove the second wife..... Both Eugene and Stephen were sons of Joseph C and Mary. Joseph was my grandfather's uncle and Eugene and Stephen were his first cousins. Joseph C. Beckham and Mary A. C. Mann had: Joseph Carson Beckham Jr. b. c. 1846 in Pike Co. Stephen A. Beckham, b. 1847/48 Mary A. W. Beckahm b. c. 1850 Archie Beckham b. c. 1851 Eugene E. Beckham, b. c. 1856 Frederick Beckham, b. c. 1858 David Carson Beckham Joseph Oliver Beckham. Because two children were named Joseph I assume the first died young. Joseph Carson, who died in 1798, was the father of Martha Carson Beckham, Dr. Joseph C. Beckham's mother. David Carson was Martha's uncle. She was married to James Beckham at David's house in Baldwin/Jones Co., GA in 1811. Charles C. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynn B.
