Here is the connection: Anatole Laurent's 3rd wife was Eliza Flynn Smith whose sister married the Beauchamp. I am a decendant of Anatole Laurent's thru his second wife Anna J. Smith Boseman. Anna Smith's brother was Eliza Flynn's 1st husband's and her Brother Ben Smith was first married to Sarah Flynn who was Eliza and Octavia Isabelle Flynn Beaucham's sister. Quite a puzzle to get thru. I hvae corresponded with several Flynn researchers and ahve a little info on Beauchamp. After Sarah Flynn Smith died Ben married Ella Laurent who is the daughter of Anatole and his 1st wife. Hope to hear from you again. Hope this did not confuse you too much.
