Suzanne, Look in Parke County for Beadle. They were there, at least in Rockville, where there is a Beadle Street. They may have been later, but you might find information that would help you with the earlier members of the family. Sharon Mills

Not sure who is researching the Beesons and you may have found this on the GenWeb sites but here is more about Dr. John :) AW Bowen History of Montgomery County, Indiana p 949 -- One of the most promising of the younger professional men of Montgomery County is Dr. John Henry Beeson, a popular and skilled dentist in Crawfordsville. He is already well abreast of the times in all that pertains to his calling, but he is making every effort to learn more of the art of alleviating the ills of suffering humanity in his particular field of endeavor. It has not been so very long ago that a man who devoted his entire attention to the teeth could not be found except in the few largest cities of the country, the country family physician being relied upon to extract with his rusty forcepts the aching molar -- there was no other thing to do, it was believed; however for reasons which scientific men are unable to clearly explain, the people of two or three generations ago, or even one, had teeth which did not readily decay, and it was no uncommon for one to reach the Psalmist's three score and ten years with a full set of good teeth. Such a thing today is perhaps very improbable. So we must have skilled men to preserve our teeth, and thus our general health. Dr. Beeson was b. on March 10, 1883, in Marshall, Indiana. He is a son of Stephen K. and Ellen M. Beeson, who are still living in Parke Co, having a good home there as a result of their industry and there they are highly respected, being people of industry and honesty. Dr. Beeson grew to manhood in his native county and there received a good education in the common schools, after which he spent two years at the University of Indiana at Bloomington. Having long entertained a laudable ambition to enter the dental profession he, while yet but a boy, began directnig his efforts in this direction, and with a view to perfecting himself in the same, so far as modern methods are concerned, he entered the Indiana Dental College of Indianapolis, where he made a splendid record and from which institution he was graduated in 1908. Returning to his native community he at once opened an office at Marshall, Parke County, where he remained a short time and was getting a good start, but seeking a wider field for the exercise of his talents he came to Crawfordsville, Montgomery County in 1909, and here he has since been engaged in the practice of his profession with ever increasing success, and now enjoys a large and lucrative patronage and is fast taking a position in the front ranks of the leading dentists of the Wabash Valley Country. He has a neat and sanitary office, fully equipped with all the improved and modern devices and appliances to insure quick and high grade service. Dr. Beeson is a member of the masonic Order, including the Royal Arch Mason; also the Knights of Pythias, the Sons of Veterans and the Delta Sigma Delta at Indianapolis. On Aug 23, 1910, Dr. Beeson was married to Winnie Davis, a daughter of George Davis and wife, of Crawfordsville, a well known local family and here Mrs. Beeson was reared to womanhood and was educated. The Doctor takes an interest in military affairs, and is the efficient second Lt. of Co. B, Second Infantry, Indiana National Guard. ====== John H. Beeson Source: Crawfordsville Journal Review 13-May-1965 typed by: JR Dr. John H. Beeson, 82, a practicing dentist here for 55 years before his retirement in 1963, died at his home, 308 S. Grant Ave., at 9:35 a.m. Thursday following a lengthy illness. He was a charter member of the Crawfordsville Rotary Club and was active in the organization for many years. He served as president of the Crawfordsville club in 1927 and as district governor for Indiana in 1931-32. During his term he attended a Rotary Convention in Zurich, Switzerland. Dr. Beeson was interested in a number of community activities over the years. He was a member of the Crawfordsville School Board from 1934 to 1937, and was president of the group for the 1936-37 school year. Born March 10, 1883, in Parke County, he was the son of Stephen Kersey and Ellen Teague Beeson. He resided on his parents' farm near Turkey Run State Park during his youth and was graduated from Marshall High School. As a young man he was an Indiana guide at the St. Louis world Fair. He spent the following year on the famous Miller's 101 Ranch. Following this he taught in Parke County schools for a number of years. Dr. Beeson was graduated from Indiana Dental College in 1908 and started his dental practice in Marshall, remaining there for a short time. From there he moved his practice to Crawfordsville. In March, 1963, Dr. Ralph G. Wilson became associated with him and continues to practice in the same office. Dr. Beeson married Winnie Davis on Aug. 28, 1910, in Crawfordsville and the couple began housekeeping in the city. They have remained here since that time. Dr. Beeson was a member of the Crawfordsville First Christian Church. He had held numerous offices in the Indiana Dental Association during his career including vice president of the organization. He was also a member of the Delta Sigma Delta dental fraternity. A 50-year member of the Masonic organizations, he served as master of Montgomery Lodge No. 50 in 1925. He became a Mason at Marshall on Dec. 7, 1908, but was transferred here May 1, 1911. Survivors include the widow; a daughter, Mrs. Paul Keller of Shaker Heights, Ohio; a son, Charles R. Beeson of Shaker Heights; two granddaughters, Miss Ann B. Keller of Washington, D.C., and ,Debra Beeson of Shaker Heights; three grandsons, John Paul Keller of New York City, David Parks Beeson and Dennis Charles Beeson, both of Shaker Heights, and a great-granddaughter.

Susan, Not everyone got counted in every census, and not everyone's name was accurately recorded. So he may be in an 1820 census reading, or he may have been in transit and missed. Indiana was barely a state in 1820. It's very important for you to understand that, aside from settled areas along the Wabash and Ohio Rivers (and other early settlements like Fort Wayne,), Indiana was settled mostly from south to north in several big land acquisitions. Try to find a copy of "Early Indiana Trails and Surveys" by George R Wilson. It's probably still available through the Indiana Historical Society or interlibrary loan. I think it's accurate to say many early settlers appear to have entered the state in the southeastern corner at Madison or river landings that are not even now in existence. I'm trying to remember the name of the one in Ripley County. Then there were roads up into the developing state like the road up over the hills from Madison into Washington County, where lots of people came through. Or the road up from the river landing in Ripley County which eventually became the corduroy road that later was called the Michigan Road. It went up into the state and veered west a bit. That's how some of my ancestors reported they came to Montgomery County. Some folks got off in the general vicinity of Shelby and Rush counties, and others went on as far as the latest land deal with the Indians would allow. I agree with Karen Zach that there were no white families in Montgomery or Fountain counties in 1820. There were in the 1830's. There were more industrial enterprises in SW Ohio than we generally know about: ironworks, and that sort of thing. I believe it would be possible for a family to be somewhat itinerant through that period of time, working at various occupations in SW Ohio and SE Indiana. Maybe he worked at an occupation connected with the rivers even. Hogs and logs were transported by men working on flatboats. So all kinds of occupations were possible for a family living in Cincinnati, Madison, or Louisville or anywhere in the area. If a person wanted land for his family, perhaps he worked to save some money so he could do a cash purchase, rather than a credit purchase. One other clue: sometimes a deed for land will say where the purchaser has moved from. Although, sadly, a deed more often says the person is living in the county where the land is located. You just don't know how long they have lived there, but they may have been "squatting" on the land for a few years. Or not.

They prompted me to cross-check my information, and I now believe that Joseph Beedle died in what is now Fountain Co. in 1826. Apparently Fountain Co. was formed just a few months before his death. However, it was not a county in 1820. How were those non-incorporated parts of Indiana treated in the 1820 census? I know someone below suggested that there were no whites in that area at the time, but apparently there were, because although he served in the Revolutionary War in PA , he then migrated to Ohio and ultimately Indiana. He was in Ohio as late as 1803, where a son was born. After that, I am looking for him to end up in Indiana, where he died in 1826. Unfortunately, I cannot do a global search of the 1810 or 1820 census, so I cannot determine in which state he might be found in those census years. Neither of those censuses is on the website that I use, so I cannot search through the Hamilton Co listings. I did not find the family in any land records in Indiana, so apparently they were not granted a land patent there.

Sharon Thank you for the great information. I very much enjoyed reading more about the various ways ancestors may have moved into Indiana c. 1830.

So he may be in an 1820 census reading, or he may have been in transit and missed. Indiana was barely a state in 1820. It's very important for you to understand that, aside from settled areas along the Wabash and Ohio Rivers (and other early settlements like Fort Wayne,), Indiana was settled mostly from south to north in several big land acquisitions. Try to find a copy of "Early Indiana Trails and Surveys" by George R Wilson. It's probably still available through the Indiana Historical Society or interlibrary loan. > > > I think it's accurate to say many early settlers appear to have entered the state in the southeastern corner at Madison or river landings that are not even now in existence. I'm trying to remember the name of the one in Ripley County. Then there were roads up into the developing state like the road up over the hills from Madison into Washington County, where lots of people came through. Or the road up from the river landing in Ripley County which eventually became the corduroy road that later was called the Michigan Road. It went up into the state and veered west a bit. That's how some of my ancestors reported they came to Montgomery County. Some folks got off in the general vicinity of Shelby and Rush counties, and others went on as far as the latest land deal with the Indians would allow. I agree with Karen Zach that there were no white families in Montgomery or Fountain counties in 1820. There were in the 1830's. > > > There were more industrial enterprises in SW Ohio than we generally know about: ironworks, and that sort of thing. I believe it would be possible for a family to be somewhat itinerant through that period of time, working at various occupations in SW Ohio and SE Indiana. Maybe he worked at an occupation connected with the rivers even. Hogs and logs were transported by men working on flatboats. So all kinds of occupations were possible for a family living in Cincinnati, Madison, or Louisville or anywhere in the area. If a person wanted land for his family, perhaps he worked to save some money so he could do a cash purchase, rather than a credit purchase. > > > One other clue: sometimes a deed for land will say where the purchaser has moved from.

Thank you to everyone for your helpful suggestions. They prompted me to cross-check my information, and I now believe that Joseph Beedle died in what is now Fountain Co. in 1826. Apparently Fountain Co. was formed just a few months before his death. However, it was not a county in 1820. How were those non-incorporated parts of Indiana treated in the 1820 census? I know someone below suggested that there were no whites in that area at the time, but apparently there were, because although he served in the Revolutionary War in PA , he then migrated to Ohio and ultimately Indiana. He was in Ohio as late as 1803, where a son was born. After that, I am looking for him to end up in Indiana, where he died in 1826. Unfortunately, I cannot do a global search of the 1810 or 1820 census, so I cannot determine in which state he might be found in those census years. Neither of those censuses is on the website that I use, so I cannot search through the Hamilton Co listings. I did not find the family in any land records in Indiana, so apparently they were not granted a land patent there.

Advise you research the development of Indiana counties, which was mostly a south to north progression of Indian purchases. Early settlements were also along the Wabash and Ohio Rivers.

The 1820 census might still be checked for the surname to see if the family was somewhere in the settled areas of the state. Another resource might be Vincennes land entries, which tended to be early. The State Archives is the resource for those.

My response [to the question about her people being in the Wingate area in 1826] would be to check Bureau of Land Management records online for land patents or to look at a land office record book. There was a land office in C-ville, but probably not until later. I'm not sure where the closest office would have been; I know there was one in Cincinnati.
