Dear Cousins, Since I started this, I guess tell everyone who the two Beelers in my line are. Only I can't at the moment. My databases are at not available at the moment. But if anyone ever does a definitive work on the Beelers I have no doubt that they will connect in some way with every one Union County family. I've actually encountered more of them in my pre-Union Co. Grainger Co. research. The main lines closest to me timewise are Nicely, Davis and Collinsworth. I had a Nicely grandmother and Davis and Collinsworth great grandmothers. The Beelers were back in the great-great category. One impediment I've found in researcher Beelers is the reptition of first names through the generations. They like the name Joseph a lot. Which jogs my memory: One my Beeler ancestors is Joseph Valentine Beeler. Jim
