I'm not sure why you believe William went west in 1849.
The 1850 census of Berkshire County, MA shows Alexander Beckwith 16 and Lewis Beckwith 12 living with Beder Loomis and Phebe Loomis 43. Also listed are Ruth Loomis 4 and Masey Loomis 6. It seems most likely William died before 1844 and Phoebe remarried. Do you have evidence of a divorce?
Phoebe Loomis died March 3, 1882 at age 70 in Alford. Her parents were Benjamin and Jennie Sprague.
