    2. Dear Sandy, I am sorry that it took me a couple of days to get back to you. Thank you so much for the lookup. The Margaret and James you found with infant George is spelled Beech on the 1880 Census. This is my family. James had a brother named John Beech (or Beach born ca. 1844/5). I have no idea of what happened to him. He had two sisters named Susan and Catherine. An older sister born ca. 1839/40 married a man named Birch (or Burch) and they had a son named Stephen who was living with James Beech in 1880 in Jonesville. James parents were Dinah Stafford born 1822 (I believe in Woodford County, KY) and Henry Beach born 1810 either in Woodford or Fayette Counties. Dinah Stafford's mother was named Mary Stafford and she was born somewhere in KY in 1800. Both Dinah and her mother died in Elliston sometime between 1870-1880. The Webster side is easier to find. John Christopher Webster was in a fight in Grant County in 1856/7 and I believe hauled into court. Someone bit off his ear. He was born in 1825 in Jessamine County and was married to Elizabeth Kennedy born 1832 in Woodford County. They moved to Grant County in 1853. Margaret had an older brother born in 1849 named John Taylor Webster and a twin sister named Alonza Webster who was also born in 1851. She had 13 other siblings including Lewis Christopher Webster who was married in Grant County. If you come across anything else on these people I sure would love to have it. There is much confusion on this line because of the Beach Book and the author connected my line back to the wrong James Beach. There were two of them one in Gallatin County who married Nancy Collins and my line in Grant County who married Margaret Webster. Thanks again. I appreciate all you effort and help. Take care, MichaelAnne
