Your post about Zack Beauchamp caught my notice. My great grandmother's elder brother was Zachary Taylor Beachum, b. 1854, d. 1928. The family was from Anson County, NC. My Zachary Taylor Beachum was the son of Jeremiah Wahington Beachum (1830-1910) and his wife Mary Jane Taylor (1836-1882). On the maternal side of the family, they are supposed to have been related to Zachary Taylor, the President, but I have not found documentation of this. Jeremiah W. Beachum was the son of Hugh A. Beachum (1806-1861) and his wife Zillie O'Neal (1812-1882). Hugh Beachum was the son of Alexander Beachum, and that is as far as I have gotten. Family stories suggest that the name was originally spelled "Beauchamp" and the early deeds, etc. show a vaiety of spellings of the name.
Hope this is helpful,
John
