Most of the information I have has been through family members, but most of them are now deceased. I don't know who Lectovenia was. I have Israel Putnam Beck being born July 18, 1813 in North Carolina, married to Missouri Gillis Shaw on July 2, 1848 in Kentucky and died on October 20, 1869 in Guadalupe County, TX. They were my great-great grandparents. I am stumped at this point as for going any farther. I have an Alfred Putnam Beck being a brother to Electa Albatine Beck (daughter of Israel and Missouri)who married Young Jacob Heaner in 1880. I have one picture of him taken about 1901 or 1904. I don't have any other info on him, but Albatine Electa was born in 1864 near Seguin, TX. It looks like you're on the right track, but I'm not sure if I can help any.
