If there is a linkage between William H H Beadle and Samuel Beadle of Salem Massachusetts, I would really like to know about it. Maybe this conversation will encourage others to come forward with some knowledge about such a linkage.
Here is what William H H Beadle says about his ancestry in a manuscript written sometime between 1906 and 1915:
"James Beadle (he often wrote it Beadles), my grandfather Born and raised in Virginia, in Shenandoah County, up the valley from Winchester; died in June, 1832, in Clark County, Indiana, about seven miles above Charlestown, three miles from the Ohio River; was sixty years old at death. Married Nancy [Ann] Hess, either directly from Pennsylvania or born there- a very industrious woman, who so trained all her children. James Beadle became unable to do much suffered from dyspepsia, etc. Had been a shoemaker. She taught every boy to be a capable farmer, and all were honorable and successful men. She was a smart woman, an able woman, and herself taught every child to read and write, to work and save and to make an honorable living. She must have been very kind and motherly, for every child loved her. She was of dark complexion, her eyes very black. She was tall and became stout. They moved to Kentucky in 1804 '05, long on the road, and reached Oldham County (then Jefferson County) in the spring of 1805. He had a brother, William, who in an early day wagoned across the mountains by the Crab Orchard route. Both remembered the Revolutionary War."
According to my information James Beadle (or Beadles) was born between 10 Dec 1772 and 10 Jan 1773 in Shenandoah County, Virginia. He died on 10 Jul 1833 in Clark County, Indiana, and is buried in Charleston Township, Clark County, Indiana, at the Salem Methodist Church Cemetery.
His wife, Nancy Ann (Hess) Beadle, (they were married 16 Apr 1795, in Frederick County, Virginia) was born ca. 1773, probably in Pennsylvania, and died on 1 Oct 1843 in Clark County, Indiana. She is also buried in the Salem Methodist Church Cemetery.
James apparently had 4 siblings: William; Edmund, who eloped with a Virginia young lady and went to Tennessee; Mary, who married John Randolph and lived in Southern Kentucky, northeast of Nashville, Tennessee; and Abraham, who helped James Ward and his family move from Clark County, Indiana to Parke County, Indiana, in 1837.
I don't have any other information on James Beadles' ancestors, but if anyone else has any information at all, I would love to hear about it.
