1860 census Yalobusha Co, MS:
Broom, Absolem, 42, b NC
" Rebecca, 28, b NC
" Delia, 2, b MS
" John R., 1, b MS
I don't know if this is your John R., but I believe he is the same one listed below. Age is close, birth location and birth location for his parents match.This household is in same district as Beulah's family on the 1880 census Yalobusha Co, MS, about 4 pages apart:
Category: Name;Relationship to head of household;Marital Status; Gender; Race; Age; Birthplace; Occupation; Father's Birthplace; Mother's Birthplace.

You might look for probate and land records for Absolem or Rebecca, see if John shows up as an heir.
