In Reply to: Searching for family of William R Beasley - b.1871 Graves County by Sherry Beasley of 1056

Not related, just did some lookups for you on ancestry.com regarding more siblings of Bennett’s.

The family went from Graves Co. to Hickman Co to McCracken Co.

The 1910 Census of Graves Co. KY, page 82A, shows:
BEASLEY, William R. 39, married 16 years, KY KY KY, Farmer
Wife Nancy E. 28 or 38, mother of 8 children with 6 living, KY KY KY
Son Ervin L. 14, KY
Dau Mary E. 12, KY
Son Andrew 8, KY
Dau Maud C. 6, KY
Son Edward 4, KY
Son Bennet H. 8, KY
Son Sherman T. 9, KY
---------------
The 1920 Census shows William as widowed, living in Hickman Co. KY
BEASLEY, William R. 46, widower, KY KY KY, Laborer
Son Eddie L. 14
Son Bennie H. 13
Dau Lula 9
---------------
Also in Hickman Co. KY in 1920 was Bennett’s sister Maud married to Luby Crawford
The KY Birth Index shows that Maud Beasley Crawford gave birth to:
Helen Crawford Feb 20, 1920 in Hickman Co.
Clois D. Crawford April 25, 1933 in Carlisle Co.

In 1920 Bennett’s brother Irvin and Irvin’s wife Rosa are living in Hickman Co. next door to Bennett’s sister Mary (see below re Mary)

In 1930 I found Bennett’s brother Ervin/Irvin L. living in McCracken Co. KY with wife Rosie and children Marie and Floyd.
The KY Birth Index shows that Marie Beasley was born Feb 28, 1922 in Carlisle Co. to Rosa Carman Beasley.

Ervin L. Beasley died Sept 21, 1976 in McCracken Co.
(NOTE – the Death Certificates of your grandfather and Ervin should have Nancy’s maiden name on them as well as the birthplace of William and Nancy)

Bennett’s sister Mary married Thomas E. Carman
The KY Birth Index shows that Mary Beasley Carman had the following children in Hickman Co. KY:
Theodore Carman Dec 20, 1916
George L Carman March 20, 1918
Dorothy M. Carman Nov 17, 1919
Joseph C. Carman July 7, 1921
Flora E. Carman June 8, 1924
------------------------
Bennett’s sister Lulu married a Clark.
The KY Birth Index shows that Lulu Beasley had a son Howard Clark, born Aug 24, 1931 in McCracken Co. KY
-----------------------
I cannot find William and Nancy on the 1900 Census, or a Death Record for Nancy between 1911 and 1920, or William in the household of his parents on the 1880 Census.
Cannot find a Death Record in KY for William.
----------------------
I have the Marriage books of Graves, Carlisle and Ballard counties for the 1890s.
None show a marriage record for William and Nancy.

Hope this helps.
Kathleen in CA
