Hi All I just received this information from Barbara Shore who did some Twiggs County Lookups for me. It gives the marriage date for William Haywood Beckam to Geraldine C. Solomon in the home of her mother Lucinda Pearce calls her the daughter of Col. Henry Solomon. Geraldine died 19 February 1868 in Marion Twiggs County Georgia. Anyway read the followinig below. Le Hi Lee, I didn't find a marriage record of William H. Beckam to Geraldine in the Twiggs Co. book I have, but did find it in "Marriages and Obituaries from Macon Messenger 1816-1865" by Rocker. This is probably as close as you will come to having a record of the marriage as the one in Twiggs co. probably was lost in one of the fires that happened in the courthouse there. 15 Oct 1856: Married on Sunday morning the 5th inst. at the residence of Mrs. Lucinda Pearce in Twiggs Co, near Marion, by the Rev. Lewis Solomon, William H. Beckom, Esq. to Miss Geraldine C. Solomon, daughter of Col. Henry Solomon, late of said county. Also found: 19 Feb 1868: Died at Marion, GA on the 25th of Jan. last, of puerperal peritonitis, Mrs. Geraldine Beckom, wife of W.H. Beckcom in the 25th year of her age; leaves a husband and four children (with eulogy). I don't know if the 1860 Twiggs Co. Census is on the internet--I would guess not. I don't believe that Geraldine's death would be recorded in the 1870 mortality schedule as she didn't die in 1869, but 1868.
