I had a Belzora married to Wiley Henry Myers according to census records. In researching the death certificates of some of her children, the mother was listed as "Belzora Beaman". It is interesting that in the Yadkin census you pointed out, she is listed as Belzaria Cranfill living with a family of Beamans. I am assuming that since she is your great Grandmother, you actually know that it was Belzora Cranfill who married Wiley Myers. Do you think that she had changed her last name to Beaman, or perhaps the informants were just mistaken. Thanks, John G. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
