I believe that many of the Beck's originated from one family. My John Beck was first located in 1777 in what was Rowan County, NC. If one were looking on a map from that time period, you would see how close things were to the old Pendleton District. Many folks who were in Western NC settled in GA. Refer to the GA Land Lotteries and you'll see the draw. Similar enticements drew settlers to that part of SC. Two of my direct lines originated in Pendleton District of SC, and eventually stopped in Rabun, Gilmer, Union and Fannin Co's of GA. There was work at the time in these areas. My research shows that the Beck families did originate in Western NC as early as 1750's. Many left for land, work, etc. Bottom line is that I do think that they are related if you go far back enough.

Debbie, Thank you for your information. I see that you have been studying the Becks in NC for some time also. Are you familiar with Nell Beck Truitt research? She has been researching the Beck family in Rowan Co. for some time. According to her information that family was German. Was your John Beck of English or German origins? The Jeffrey Beck(born 1722/23 married to Lydia Phillips) who was in old Orange Co NC in the 1750-1800s was of English descent. He did have a son, John born abt. 1750. The Becks in old Orange Co(later Gilford and finally Randolph) came to NC from Bucks Co. PA by way of Augusta Co VA. Several researchers have documented Jeffreys family back to 1708 with his parents marriage in Bucks Co. The two groups did have some similar male names: Jesse, James, Abraham, George, John and William. I am interested to know if you have found a Jeffrey in the Rowan group. Please share some of the information that you have on the Rowan group. Was your family line that came through Rabun Co a Beck? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbie Spencer" <info@professionalheritage.com> To: <GARABUN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, July 03, 2004 5:49 PM Subject: Re: [GARABUN] Re: GARABUN-D Digest V04 #28 > I believe that many of the Beck's originated from one family.
