I have just started my research and I am filling in gaps and questions as I go
The posts by Vikki Ireland ) http://genforum.genealogy.com/beveridge/messages/589.htmlhttp://genforum.genealogy.com/beveridge/messages/589.html) have a great deal of info and lays out how the Beveridges arrived in the United States.I have traced Peter H Beveridge the son of Peter Beveridge & Ann Watts.He died in California on April 6 1886.He is buried in the Oakwood Cemetery in Geneseo, Henry County, IL next to Eliza Beveridge.Also buried there are his parents Peter and Ann Beveridge.The fifth individual is Julia Beveridge which I think was Peter H Beveridge’s 3rd wife (See the final entry on V. Irelands post of 3/12/08).In the June 1, 1860 Federal Census, he is listed as married to a Lide L Beveridge without any children, then in the August 20, 1870 census he is listed as married to Eliza and having 5 children.In the July 09, 1880 census he is listed as a widower (which ties to Eliza death on February 3, 1875.Peter H is shown living with the two oldest boys Charles & Frank in Cook County IL.The other three children (Louise, Fannie & Ralph) are now living with their grandmother Ann Beveridge in Geneseo, IL (who is 74).I wonder if Charles and Frank were born to Lide L and that is why they stayed with their father or if it was that they were old enough to be independent. Charles was born in 1860 which is the same year as the 1860 census which is when Peter H was married to Lide LI will have to look into this more.He appears to have traveled to California and was visiting someone there when he died.
I am starting to trace our family back into Scotland.I have several possible leads, but nothing concrete at this time.
If anyone has more info I would appreciate hearing about it and if I am barking up the wrong tree on any of my info I would appreciate hearing that as well.
