Frances Otwell was Jacob's second wife. They married 21 Dec 1843 in Chambers Co., AL. They only had one son Benjamin Franklin Beck. I have not been able to find his first wifes name who was born in NC. Frances (Fannie) was born in SC. I got a lot of info from Audrey, Lowell Blackburn, and Troy Gresham. I have quite a bit of information on all of Jacob's children that I know about. Alexander is the oldest that I know of. I am beginning to suspect that there may have been at least one older child. If you will contact me direct perhaps we can exchange more information than is practical on this forum. John Beck
