Hello-
I live in Wayne County, W.V......across the creek from Lawrence county, KY....... I am seeking Info on descendants of a George Washington Beckley [ b. ? d.1889(?) m. (_?) HARDING, occ: school teacher.]
He appears to be the brother of ALFRED BECKLEY, who founded city of Beckley, WV. .They appear to be son of JOHN (_?_) BECKLEY, 1ST LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS, personal secretary to General George Washington. [ someone on this message board sd he [ john (_?) beckley] signed the U.S. declaration of independence.]
I have found in the census of 1860 a reference to a 1) HUTH BECKLEY, 17 yr. old, married. ......2) HETTIE BECKLEY, 12 y.(?) old ........living in a SHANNON household in town of Prichard, wayne county, WV in 1860. (across river from KY)
..........3) NEVILLE CRAIG BECKLEY, a preacher in Wayne county, WV, living near Prichard, WV, in Hubbardstown. in 1860
..........4) JOHN HENRY BECKLEY, [b. ? , d. 1936, s.o. George Washington Beckley] lived in wayne county, WV @ Prichard @ 1860 census. later married MARGARET SMITH [ d.o. Henry Smith, b. ? , d. 1925] lived in wayne county, a teacher, was my gr. grandfather. ...begat: John Henry Beckley [II ?, III?] ....Charles B. .....Paul D. Beckley...[my grandfather] ...George Washington Beckley (II), died in infancy.
If anyone knows if George Washington Beckley was really Alfred Beckey's brother ......&/or if he was 1st librarian of congress John Beckley's son.......or if they know who Huth Beckley or Hattie Beckley of WaYne C. ,WV was; or became........then E-mail me, or post it on this message board. Thanks in advance........DANIEL R. BECKLEY
