Rose The information I got from Ludell said she was born in 1857. The information from The Macon Messanger said they were married 19/Feb/1856. Here is the section from Marriages and Obituaries from the Macon Messanger 1816-1865 by Rocker 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). This is all the obituary has would have been nice to list the children. I do hope this helps some one. I do thank you Rose for all your help. God Bless You and May Your Christmas be Merry and Bright.
