Diane and Debbie and anybody else interested in subject: Beck in Rabun is my question: In 1850 census, household of John and Elizabeth BECK [listed as merchants] was one Sarah Ann Hunnicutt aged 24. Does anyone know the relationship of the Sarah Ann Hunnicutt to the Becks? Why was she living with the BECKs? Can anyone help in any way to solve this mystery? Sarah's first child may have been born in this household during this census year. Does anyone know Elizabeth BECK's maiden name? Sarah Ann's maiden name was MATHIS, maybe that will help. Please help if you can.
