Searching for ancestor Reuben BEASLELY, born 1774 in Darlington District, So. Carolina, died 1838 or 1845 in Mississippi. His wife was Esther BRAMLETT or BRAMBLETT, born 1775, married Reuben BEASLEY 1799. Reuben BEASLEY had a first wife by the name of Martha Jane SCARBOROUGH. Reuben BEASLEY and Esther had a son named John Mallard BEASLEY, born 1817(?) in Mississippi, married Sarah F. CAMMACK, daughter of Thomas CAMMACK and Jemima MCLEMORE also of Mississippi. My grandmother was orphaned along with her 5 siblings approximately 1903 so very little details are known. Would so appreciate any help, advice, leads or connections you might be able to offer me. Thank you.

Notes:

Shirley Brinkley writes that there was "some question whether Thos. Cammack immigrated at 13 yrs. of age accompanying a widowed mother to Horab, SC (Fairfield Co) or TN. One source suggested that Thomas, his widowed mother, older bro. Wm. and twin, James, immigrated to NY in 1797 and journeyed to SC where he stayed with his Uncle David Cammack several years."

Thomas married Jemima McLemore about 1815. Jemima was born about 1789 in North Carolina; died on 2 Sep 1858 in Copiah County, Mississippi; was buried in Poplar Springs Cemetery, Copiah County, Mississippi. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
