That would not be possible. Leslie Co., KY was not formed until 1878. It was formed from parts of Clay, Harlan and Perry Co.'s, KY. I checked the 1870 and the 1880 Fed. Censuses for Clay, Harlan and Perry Co.'s. At least at the point in time that the 1870 and the 1880 Fed. census was taken, there were NO BECK families present in those counties. There are also no BECK families present as of the time of the 1880 Leslie Co. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA
