Please excuse me for butting in to your exchange, but I have some information which may be relevant. I am from Wetumka myself and have many lines linked to Hughes Co. In my records, Ralph Edgar Beasley married Cora Adline Graves on November 20, 1909 in Wetumka. Cora Adline Graves was born in Conway County, Arkansas, daughter of Jess Graves and Dulcina Leona Palestine Roberts. Dulcina was born in Conway County, AR on August 5, 1872. Her mother and father were Amos Pleasant Roberts and Mary Adline Andrews, from Tuscaloosa and Fayette Cos., AL. They migrated to Conway Co. in late 1867 from Fayette Co., AL. I descend from a brother of Dulcina's, John Mathis Roberts. Jess Graves was born in Indiana on August 25, 1868. Jess' brother, John Graves, married Martha Adline Margraves, d/o Matilda Roberts Margraves, sister to Dulcina. I got a lot of this information some years ago from Beasleys who attended the annual Roberts reunion in Ada, OK. Six or seven years ago I published a book on the Roberts family and related lines.

May 18,1885 in Dent County, Missouri who married Adeline Barnes!!!! Your Ralph would be the brother of my great grandfather James Lane Beasley, both sons of Landis and Generia, Ralph and James also has many siblings. Ralph I believe first made the move to Wetumka and later his father Landis Sumac Beasley made the move also. This is too coincidental if this if not your Ralph, and if it is, I have the Beasley line researched back to the 1600's on them, including most of the spouses lines also. And I believe your Adeline Barnes also came from Dent Co., Missouri, I have a genealogy Cemetery book on dent co. and will see what I can find out on her family if this is indeed your Adeline which again this has to be the same line and if so, it is very exciting, we have searched for the Wetumka connection for a long time, at 39 years old, I have spe! > nt the last 10 doing research on my Beasley ancestors. Please let me know what you make of all of this as soon as possible. Also do you know of the Native American descendency that we have always grew up knowing about but other than a Cherokee grandmother on my other side, I have never pin pointed the Native American ancestory of our Beasleys. > Hope to hear from you soon.
