Don't Know anything about Beachamps however, as I has researching my Jockey connections I found your message! The Bucher/Booker family came from Germany in 1732 and ended up in and around Moweaqua, Decater Ill area. At the turn of the century Willie Beachamp and the three of the Bookers had done well according to a news paper art form 1965 I have. H. Booker won the Kentucky Derby in 1903 died at Suffolk Downs in 1942. Aurthur Booker died at Graves End track in 1901. A.W. Booker won the worlds Fair Handicap in 1904. Can You tell me anything about the Beauchamps and Bookers of Ill?
