Wife Ada Evora Beachley 2 Feb >1879, Beachdale, Pa. Father John C. Beachley Mother Mary Ann Walker. Jan, I have a record of Oscar Coleman and his parents in my computer. Mary Jane Kimmel was a daughter of Daniel Kimmel, AC-BBJE at Tim's site, and Emeline Landis. I go back a bit on Emeline's line, although it is not mine. I go back a lot farther on Daniel Kimmel's line. Daniel was a brother of my Noah M. Kimmel. However I don't seem to have Ada Evora Beachley or her parents listed in the computer. I have a John L. Beachley born 2 Feb 1850 in Somerset Co., PA, died 20 Mar 1871 in Somerset Co., PA. John L. was a son of William Beachley and Sally Lichty. John L. died 8 years before Ada was born, so it is doubtful that he was Ada's father, unless if my dates are way off. William Beachley was a son of Daniel Buechley and Elizabeth Meyers. Daniel was a son of Abraham Buechly and Elizabeth Keagy. Abraham was a son of Johann Michael Buechley and Barbara Zug. It does make it difficult that the spelling of the name changed so much. I tried to search under various spellings. I have a record of a Mary Ann Walker born 3 Apr 1853, died 11 Mar 1930, but she married William Fike. My notes for her don't mention a marriage to John C. Beachley. Perhaps if I knew who John C. Beachley's parents were I might be able to link the line back quite a ways. History of Bedford and Somerset Counties Pennsylvania page 369 says Frank Coleman was a son of Jacob Coleman. I wasn't sure how much information Donna has or lacks. Let me know if I can be of any more help. Debby
