Surnames: Beauchamp, Kuhlman, Coy, Bunce, Hess Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ih.2ADE/983.3.1 Message Board Post: I am a direct descendant of Melvina (Beauchamp) Kuhlman Hess through a daughter (Sarah Elizabeth (Kuhlman) Coy) of her first marriage. Esther "Melvina" Beauchamp was born 10 Aug. 1844 in Cass County, IL. I think her parents were Samuel and Esther Robins (Bunce) Beauchamp. Melvina married (1) 29 Mar. 1864, in Morgan County, IL to Frederick E. Kuhlman (1843-1880). Then she married (2) to J. Herman Hess and died 10 Apr. 1882, in Morgan County, IL. I really have no information about the Hess family, but would like to learn about them. Thanks
