Eugene,
Thank you for your reply. My theory about Levi Beach marrying Elizabeth Baldwin and having a daughter named Lavinia comes from a few sources. A relative of mine told me that Lavinia's parents were named Levi and Elizabeth. I found Levi Beach, son of Benjamin Beach in a Beach family history. He also seemed to be about the same age as a Levi Beach I found in the 1810 or 1820 Census of Connecticut, in Cornwall where Lavinia was born in December of 1806. I found Elizabeth Baldwin while doing a search for Levi Beach on Familytreemaker's webpage. Interestingly, Elizabeth's father was named George Baldwin. Lavinia had a son named George Baldwin Sanford. I also find it interesting that Loomis Beach settled in Rootstown, OH. My ancestor, Lavinia Beach and her husband William J. Sanford also lived in Rootstown. I think Levi may have emigrated there with his family. Hopefully I will eventually be able to find some information that further supports these theories.
By the way, the Beach genealogy from which I got my information about Benjamin Beach and Abiah Loomis had "Lyman" pencilled in Experience Beach's maiden name (Benjamin's mother). Thank you for your help.
