My grandmother was born in Pinewood, Hickman Co., Tennessee in 1889 and came to Texas when she was about 14. Her name was Fannie Maude Beasley. For several generations back her lines are all in Hickman Co., or Williamson Co. Her father was Robert Franklin Beasley (1864-1935). He married Virginia Belle Allen (1867-1925). Robert's father was William Hilliard Beasley (1835-1891). He was twin and burned to death in Nashville. William married Narcissa Ann Bates (1840-1894). William's father was James Baugh Beasley (1793 NC-1865). He married Mary Mitchell, probably about 1817 in Williamson Co. James father was Barnet Beasley (abt 1766, Virginia - 1850/60, Hickman Co. I would love to hear from cousins...I do not track only my direct lines, but all of them, so probably have information to share. I do have a web page, but do not show living family, nor my notes. Because my Grandma was very dear to me, Hickman Co., is too. I wish I could say Tennessee the way she did! Leonard. -- Leonard J.
