I have Elvira Beavers m. S. J. Rose in my files as the d/o of Alexander R. Beavers and Mary Jane Barnett. Their other children were James W. Beavers, Sallie E. (m. Crockett O. Rose) and Martha Shone ( m. John Henry Davidson). Alexander had a second spouse, Martha Jane Asbury, with whom he had 7 children. I don't have any info in Alexander Beaver's family, but Mary Jane Barnett was the d/o of Elijah Barnette and Shone Christian. I believe I got this info from the excellent website done by Jerry Barnette, Stan and Mona French. Check out http://www.tazcova.com/html/Surnames.html Cordially, Cheryl Duke Yahoo!
