I thought I remembered a connection....and finally have found in my files references to BEESON family in Dodge County. This is on my husband's side of the family, and all I have is info on a family pedigree chart submitted to State Historical Society to document WI century certificate back in the 1970's. Regardless...thought I would pass this on, with reference to source, in case this might help anyone. The pedigree chart in question shows a Dr. Henry BEESON and Mary SMITH as parents of Sarah A. BEESON, born in Ohio in 1857. Sarah married Silas REYNOLDS, born Dec. 1830 in Warren Co. PA on Dec. 28, 1857. He died 1912 in S. Byron...She died 1912, Byron WI and is buried in Brownsville (Dodge) WI. Their daughter, Eltie Grace REYNOLDS married Amos William SAMPSON ..Dodge and Fond du Lac counties their locations. This info was obtained from SHSW archives in Madison on "Pioneer or Century Family Application" from Elta Ruth Sampson Mingus...call number in archives, 1289. Hope this may help someone researching BEESON. Martha Panetti in St. Louis, Missouri > > > >
