I am looking for any information regarding BEASLEY, Mathias. I know he purchased land in Natchitoches Parish 4-1-1843 but I have no information about where he came from. There is much information on Mathias' descendants but nothing is known of who his wife was, what happened to her, and were there any children other than James A. BEASLEY. It appears that Mathias brought his son James to Lotus when James was around 12 years of age. James stayed in the Lotus area all his life and many of his descendants remained in the Natchitoches Parish area. Thanks in advance for your help. Carolyn Dodd Cade calocade@kalama.com
