For several years I've been unsuccessfully searching for gg grandmother, SOPHRONIA ("Fronie") BEASLEY, b abt 1825-1830 in GA., mar JAMES MAJORS abt 1845, probably in Crenshaw or Covington Co., AL. James served in the Confederate States Army during the War for Southern Independence and was wounded. He died in 1865 of his wounds or disease soon after returning to Alabama. Sophronia was left a widow with 10 ch: JOSEPH (1846), BENJAMIN FRANKLIN (1847), JACOB ("Jake") (21 Jan 1849), JOHN WESLEY (1851), THOMAS L. (1853), GEORGE FEGGINS (2 May 1854), MARY JANE (ca 1856), MARTHA ANN (ca 1859), RACHEL ELIZABETH (1860) and CAROLINE SOPHRONIA (23 Jan 1862). When her son, George F. (my great grandfather) and his wife left home for TX., she went with them and died in 1913 in Franklin Co., TX. She is bur in Liberty Cemetery. I have found nothing about Sophronia's parents or siblings. Her name was spelled various ways...and may even have been spelled Fronie. [Editor's note: "Fronie" is one of several nicknames for Sophronia] Thanks,

I am trying to trace both ancestors and descendants of JAMES BEEZLEY, b 18 Nov 1932, possibly still living. I know he had two sons, VICTOR WAYNE ("Tex") (ca 1958) and a red-headed one named EDDIE JAMES (ca 1960). Last known address of Victor "Tex" Beezley was in CA. I Think perhaps James went to Or. Victor lived for a time in Finney Co., KS. I believe he was mar but unknown to who, may now be divorced. Would very much like to learn more of this family and their ancestors. It is possible that the family originated from OK. I am trying to establish a genealogical connection to this family. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
