Good luck. Virginia - you have quite a chore ahead of you! Out of the 4 attempts I have made to get erroneous data on other's web sites, only one was truly apologetic and agreed to correct it as soon as he could, one woman was almost insulted that I should question her information but reluctantly agreed she would change it (I am sure she won't, and she called herself a "professional" genealogist), and 2 never bothered to answer. There really is a tremendous amount of incorrect material out there, simply because people "latch onto" what someone else has put there, then call it their own without ever bothering to check to see if it is right - so the problem is compounded, But, good luck with your efforts!

There are those who have listed an Isaac born 1775 for this couple. I have an Isaac born 1783 and someone took him and gave him the birth date of 1775 and linked him to John V. Since my Isaac born 1783 was alive until 1872 he would have been listed as an heir to this Beeler couple. So I am now trying to figure out what to do about all the erronous data out there on the web.

Eleanor, Thank you. However, first I need to obtain a copy of the will and subsequent probate or administration. After I have the documents then possibly it can be straightened out. I have found no data on the son Isaac born 1775; I have wondered if he died and then another son was named the same name.. this was done in those times. I have hit a brick wall with the parents of Isaac born 1783. So I continue to search for his parents. Regards, Virginia

Virginia, have you checked Sullivan County? The LDS records indicate your Isaac b. Jan 1783 Sullivan Co. Tn. The individual summary notes I sent you indicate that John's brothers stayed in Sullivan County, with the exception of George. "John Valentine Beeler migrated to Grainger County about 1797 as did several of his children. His brothers Jacob, Joseph and Ulrich stayed in Sullivan County where all three died. His brother George settled in Claiborne County, TN." You can check the LDS records at: http://www.familysearch.org Then do a search for Isaac Beeler. Yours is listed within the IGI.

Betty, Thank you for the advice. However, I have done what you suggest long ago. We have not been able to find the parents of our Isaac b. 1783 in Sullivan Co., TN. If you would like to see part of the research on him here is a link to our family pages: http://www.genealogy-resources.net/Family/index2.htm Enjoy, Virginia
