Notes

! Keith, Dorothy GEDCOM (8/95) 625 S Orange Grove Bl #6, Pasadena, CA 91105 Probably married first Martha ____, Darlington Co., S.C. Second marriage to Talitha ____, according to to 1900 Clay Co., Miss. US census records, Talitha and Ira Pipkin Beasley had been married 67 years. In 1900, there were two single children living with them. Fetus D. Beasley, age45,b. Miss; Maria A. age 54, b. S C; Total 4 ch;2,died. Need letter written by Edgar Malone Pipkin to his cousin Ira Pipkin Beasley which is in the Barker Library, Univ. of Texas in Mrs. Lucy Price's collection recently donated by her family. As of this date it has not been possible to obtain the actual records including this letter. Rev. Edgar Malone Pipkin is a descendent of Rev. Daniel Pipkin of N.C. who was brother to Rev. Stephen Pipkin, Sr. therefore this letter would further serve to prove lineage of both families. Recent document obtained by compiler from :Bearhouse Lodge No. 209, Maconic Lodge of Hamburg, Ark. gives dates of meetings 1881 and 1882. In this doc- ument there is an account of E. M. Pipkin being present from Batesville, Ark. to preach at the funeral of my gt gr f.: Francis Rogers. who d.30 Oct 1882 . The members of the lodge included Wm Henry Rogers, son of Francis Rogers, dec'd that day; Cornelius Nathan Perstell Grantham, my gt gr f., whose dau , Amanda Jane Grantham, was wife of Wm. Henry Rogers. Also present were Wm.Beasley and A. E. Beasley, probably related to Nancy Beasley Rogers, recent widow of Francis Rogers. The funeral march began at the Bearhouse Church in Hamburg and proceeded to the residence of widow Nancy Beasley Rogers; thence, they marched to the Rogers Cemetery,nearby, carrying the casket and proceeded with the funeral, with full Masonic honors. The compiler has been to this cemetery several times and at present it is being cared for by my cousin, Miss Jayne Rogers and by my family. One of the descendants, Mr. Raymond Grantham, a young man who lives in Portland, Ark is helping by clearing the land of weeds. A fence has been installed and Miss Jayne Rogers has the deed to the cemetery land. It is called the Rogers Cemetery; and , many Granthams are buried there , also. I have been informed by a present member of the lodge that occasionally members go to the cemetery to check on it and to straighten some of the markers. Our family is most appreciative of their efforts. This new data re: Rev. Edgar Malone Pipkin, whose church was in Batesville, Ark. seems proof enough that Nancy Beasley Rogers and Edgar Malone Pipkin were related, since Edgar descends from Lewis Pipkin, sister of Suzanne Pipkin who m. John Beasley, Jr. of Darlington. The compiler has the lineage of Edgar Malone Pipkin documented . Refer to Pipkin file. Ira Pipkin Beasley and Talitha________ are in 1900 census,Beat 5, La Cross Precinct, Clay Co., Miss. He was listed as being b. in N C; she was listed as being b. in S C. They had total of 4 children with 2 living at home with them in 1900. Son, Fetus Beasley,b. Nov. 1854; dau, Maria A., b. 1846, ages 45 and 54 . There may be several spellings of " Fetus", such as ""Finis" or "Fretis". This is the 1st record showing that Ira Pipkin Beasley was born in N. C. If true, this may indicate that both John Beasley, Jr and John Beasley, Sr were older than the compiler thought; thus, making it more plausible to con- sider the possibility that this family is the same as the Solomon Beasley of Craven Co, N C , will of 1791 with son John and a John Beasley named as owning land adjoining Solomom Beasley.
