Hello Nancy.Are you descended from Sarah "Sally" Ann BEACH (B:~1776) m James COBB (B:~1770), both of Lincoln Co, NC?If so, that makes us distant cousins...
Well Nancy, I'll try to answer the questions the best that I can and I'll ask my sister to add anything if she can... so here it goes...
1) Did the group who went to IL go first into SC, then to KY (Enoch had son Justice b. 1815 in KY), then to IL or was this a misprint in the history book between SC and NC?
DCP:I have no clue yet.I have heard that there a few mistakes there in that book.I have not seen it personally.
2)Is Sarah Beach who married James Cobb the same Sarah Beach who md. William West? This connection arose through the Cobb research.
DCP:This is what I understand to be true... that Sarah Ann Beach first married James Cobb and then years later after James had died that she married a William West.It is believed that Sarah's aunt Rhoda Beach married a John West... could they be related... the John West and the William West?
3) Which Enoch did Sarah appoint as guardian to her children. Sarah had a brother Enoch (moved to IL) but also had at least 3 nephews named Enoch. The time frame pretty well eliminates being dau of Enoch.
DCP:My best quess is that Sarah asked her brother Enoch Beach to be the guardian of her and James' children.It is unlikely that she had asked her father because of his age or her nephews.Some Beach-Cobb researchers say that Sarah Beach's father was Enoch Beach.This I disaree with... I am not sure where they got this from.
4) What was date of Justice' will?Why wasn't wife of John Pritchet named in will?Or did she die before Justice.John Pritchet also md. Widow Caudle and they are listed in 1850 census.
DCP:I can't say for any of these questons.
I can say from some of the research that I did find myself and that of my sister... that Sarah Ann Beach's sisters and/or aunts married Cox and King and West men.I'll have to get my sister to help here because I lost everything in a fire Thanksgiving Friday past and get back to you.
I hope this helps to get started.
Looking forward to hearing from you again.
Peace and blessings.
Dolores Cobb Phifer
