Yes, Maliccie "Lycie" Pearl BEACH (maiden name) is my G-grandmother. She married a Mr Hamilton, then Charles Bert Fritts, then lastly James France. Lycie's 2nd husband (and Viola's) father is Charles "Bert" Fritts. They had 2 children. Viola and Charolette. William Sylvester Hamilton was born in AR in 1899. We do not know who his father was. He died prior to 1900. We think prior to Vessie's birth. He was Lycie's first husband. I'm not sure where Vessie went. My grandmother Viola & Ggrandma Lycie ended up moving to CA. I'm unsure if Vessie went to. I'm assuming he did not, as my father didnt know him. But does remember Viola mentioning him in her last few years.
