I don't think the Mary J. Beeson in the Oak Grove book is the right one. It says that Mary is the wife of William T. Beeson. I need Mary the wife of William Hunt Beeson. So the middle initial of the husband is wrong. The William T. is buried there also. The Beesons married several times into the Springer family. The line of William Hunt Beeson goes back to Henry Hedges Beeson married to Ann Downer. Ann's mother was a Springer.
