Yes it is interesting that a man was named Beulah. But stranger things have happened. It would be interesting to know why? I was named for my grandmother on my mother's side. I have to assume that is what happened to the Beulah in our family. No girls so the male ended up with that name.... But that is a guess.....

His wife was Beulah Reaves/Reeves and his father was Jake Durham. Father buried at White Plains Church in Pelzer. Mother's birthplace unknown. Beulah (the male) was raised by Durham grandparents in Westminster, SC. His father's sister, Zoa, married Clifton Adams of Seneca, SC. I did find it interesting that he was named "Beulah"... Also, I have no Reaves/Reeves to submit DNA for testing inasmuch as I am the sole survivor of my immediate family....no cousins, etc. Is there any method by which I amy check to see if any of the Old Ninety-Six District or Pickens County in theearly 1800's for Asa/Hiram/William Jackson/John H., etc.?
