Hi Barbara, I found some of the information on the Beadle family on the LDS site. The submitter is from Oakhurst, California. The Beadle family that was in Johnson County, Texas in the 1860 census was from Tennessee. The birthplace for Dorcas Lee Beadle who married Isaac M. Nolen is Henry Co., Tennessee. There are ten children listed with Henry Beadle and his wife Mary Ann. I am really leery of information from the LDS - some of it is accurate and some of it has no semblance of reality. My gr-gr-grandfather, Isaac M. Nolen Sr. is on two or three submissions - none of which are even close to being correct. But I bet since this person is in California that they are a descendant. Let me know if I can help you out any more. Shirley Jean The LDS site: http://www.familysearch.org/ My homepage for Noland - Nolen: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/r/e/y/Shirley-J-Reynolds/
