Hi, thanks for answering! I don't have much on Wyatt and his children. I will post what I have at this time.
I have Amasa and Elizabeth Nicholson family info also but will not include it at this time. My direct line is Amasa Beeson and Elizabeth Nicholson, Wyatt Beeson and Rebecca ?, Elizabeth Beeson and John Thomas, Benjamin Franklin Thomas and Bonnie Adelle Tharp, Lucille Thomas and William Carr (my mom and dad)
Amasa married Elizabeth Nicholson April 1, 1815 in Stokes Co, NC.
They do not appear until 1840 on the North Carolina census index. Amasa has 1 male 16 to 20 and 1 female 15 to 20 in addition to himself 50-60 and wife 50-60. (no idea who the 2 teens are)
Wyatt and Rebecca appear in the 1840 census also. 1 male under 5, 1 male 20 to 30, 2 females under 5, 1 female 20 to 30. By 1850 Census (Amasa and Elizabeth are living with Wyatt and Rebecca and their part of Stokes County had become Forsyth County.)
(no township) Forsyth Co. NC p. 258b, Dwelling 876, family 889 (all born in N.C.)
BEESON, Wyatt 34 (Farmer $300 Real Property)
Rebecca 34;

The Beeson’s came to Illinois in 1854. Emily Beeson put in her biography information in a Farmers directory that she had lived in Illinois since 1854. Plus William’s death certificate lists his place of birth as Bond County, IL.

I have death certificates for Anderson and William. I have 2 photographs of Rebecca Beeson circa 1850-1880. I also have have a family story told to my mother by her father about the Beeson's trip from North Carolina to Illinois.
Hope this is all of interest to you. I am attempting to fill in more information on the children, so will update this hopefully soon. Kathy
