Jacob Franklin Beck according to census records was born about 1802 in NC. He migrated to Troup Co., GA - Chambers Co., AL - Marshall, TX - Nacogdoches, TX, and finally spent some of his last years in Pilot Point, TX He is buried in Pine Grove Cem. at Trawick, Nacogdoches, TX. It is possible that he may have made another stop between NC and GA. I'll be glad to share what I have. I have not been able to find the name of his parents or his first wife. John Beck
