---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is not known when or where John moved westward. He married a youngwidow, Apoles Foster McGough, with a girl-child and lived for some timenear Woodville, Texas on a farm in the piney woods. His wife give him alarge family, including two sets of twins. He died close to the birth ofhis last set of twins and was buried in an unmarked grave in one of hisfields.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to a 1950 Tyler County Texas Census, His name is idenified asJames Mann Sims, not John. I'm not sure if that information isaccurate. Most sources that I have found show John.

From the book, NEWTON COUNTY NUGGETS, published by the Newton CountyHistorical Commission, is related the following information on the MillerFamily written by Dr. Arthur A. Miller:
"The Millers came by this name because they were millers of grain.They originated in England and were brought to Georgia by JamesOglethorpe; who founded a settlement there for people fleeing fromdebtors prison in England....
In the 1820, 1830, and 1840 census taken in Georgia, there wereMillers living in every county. The land in the southwestern section ofGeorgia was Creek Indian country and this is where Early County wasfounded in 1818. In 1823 a section of Early County became DecaturCounty, and Baker County was established in 1825. These counties becamethe foundation for Calhoun, Miller, and Mitchell Counties in the years1854, 1856 and 1857.
Rev. Robert Marcus, a Baptist Preacher, his wife, Averilla ElizabethHare and their son James Cason, settled in the Spears Chapel settlement,five miles east of Burkeville. They had six children before Averilladied. Four Hare families, originally from South Carolina, also came toTexas. Thomas Cason Hare and his wife Lucretia were probably the parentsof Averilla Elizabeth Hare Miller. They are all buried at the TannerCemetery about a mile east of Burkeville.....
A neighbor of the Robert Marcus family was Robert Cousins, born inVirginia. Robert Cousins was married to Sarah Jane Jorden, born inAlabama; they had six children before Robert died.
Another member of the community was Tom Byerly, he had lost his wifeMatilda, so Tom and Sarah Jane Jorden Cousins got married. Tom and Sarahhad one son, Caleb, before the death of Tom.
Sarah Jane Jorden Cousins Byerly then married Rev. Robert MarcusMiller, they proceeded to add six more children to their already largefamily. Their oldest, George Washington Miller was born in 1862; theiryoungest son, Levi was born in 1872, six months after Robert Marcuspassed away.
This left Sarah Jane with the responsibility of nineteen children.
Grandmother Sarah's youngest daughter died at the age of seven.Sarah's second oldes child, a daughter, Eppse Cousins, married RobertMarcus's oldest son, Jim, in 1868--Marcus performed the ceremony.Sarah's oldest daughter, Lizzi, married Jim Phelps.
Caroline Cousin married Riley Phelps; Bill and Clark Cousin and ClayByerly, married Frances, Reena, and Rosie Woods. John Cousin marriedMelissa Testin--who stayed in Newton County and lives in the Blue Hills.
The last five children of Robert Marcus Miller started marrying in1875.
Mary Jane Miller married John W. Kerr; Steve Miller married MarthaKerr in 1877; Beth Elizabeth Miller married David Kerr in 1876. Bethmarried Jim Barnett after the death of David, and they moved to
the Livingston area and are buried there. Robert Miller married RebeccaStevenson in 1878, and Joe Miller married Vicie Newberry in 1877.
The Kerrs are buried at Spears Charpel and Richard Miller is buriedat the Woods Cemetery.
Clark and Bill Cousin are buried at the Little Flock Cemetery inSabine County. Grandma Sarah is buried near by, she had been making herhome with Levi at Burkeville. Levi's youngest daughter Levee wasgrandma's favorite; she inherited grandma's trunk, her parasol, and herfeatherbed---which she still uses today.
Jake married Mittie Stevenson and they had a son, Henry. Jakethen married Florence Birdwell, they had two children, a son, Walter, anda daughter, Roxie. They lived in the Bronson area. Walter went on tothe El Paso area, where he lived for many years.
The Millers were said to be good law abiding folks, and were glad tohelp anyone in need. They were mostly farmers, they built roads, servedthe community, and attended Primitive Baptist Churches."

40. Ananias BECKWORTH

Source #1:
"William Beckwith of VA", by Mahlon G. Erickson, indicates birth date anddeath date.
Other birth and death information obtained from MorrisUnderwood, Beckworth descendant.
Allison Beckworth offered the following notes:
1. Ananias is buried in the front year of his farm/home place nearAvera, GA.
2. information taken from Maxwell Beckworth's "The Beckworth FamilyHeritage Book".
Notes: (provided by Morris Underwood)

Buried in Perdue cemetery which is near Stapleton, GA.

The following directions as given by Al Beckworth: From Wrens GA take GaRoad 102 West to Stapleton. When you get to Stapleton, look for the GARoad 296. At the intersection of Road 296 and 102 in Stapleton stay onRoad 102 and go 1.4 miles to Clark Road on your right. Turn right ontoClark Road (it is a dirt road) and go 0.4 miles. The grave yard is inthe front yard of the house. Al thinks it was painted blue the last timehe was there.

The grave now has a concrete slab which was poured by Al Beckworth, hisoldest son Mike, and Al's uncle Hancel Beckworth in January 1979. Priorto that the only thing thre was a small cement head marker which is stillthere. In January 1979 they also placed a steel marker on the grave.In 1996 a granite headstone was placed on the grave site. In the hasteto get it done the name of Ananias's first wife, Elizabeth Thompkins, wasmispelled Thompson. They plan to have another headstone made, or the onetherenow, to correct the spelling.

In the 1850 Census, Ananias was in the 90th Sub-division of WarrenCounty, GA.

48. David C. WARD

1860 Lawrence County Mississippi Census


49. Amanda E. ORREN

In an 1850 Lawrence County , Mississippi Census microfilm, I found thefollowing:

visit #142

ORREN, MARY---age 53---female---Farmer---Personal EstateValue=$800---Birth Arkansas

ROMALEY ORREN---age 26---male---birth, North Carolina
ROBERT ORREN---age 22---male---birth, North Carolina
AMANDA ORREN---age 21---female---birth, North Carolina
WILLIAM ORREN---age 18---male---birth, North Carolina

Therefore, if this is our Amanda Orren, married to David Ward, they hadto have been married later in 1850 or later. Their son Pleas was born in1857. So that would make better sense. Because in 1850 she wasobviously still living with her widowed mother, Mary and her threebrothers. Therefore, it is also more likely that Amanda and David Wardmarried in Mississippi.


52. Marion Emanuel WARD

According to Marion's grandson, Herman Eugene Ward, Marion had a farm inLeesville, LA, but when the slaves were freed, he left Louisiana andmoved to Texas, leaving behind his land.

63. Sally LOWE

All information on this Sally Lowe and beyond is purely speculative,based on several family history accounts of living descendants of theLowe and Murphy lines. It is told that Sally Lowe died in childbirthwith Larkin M. Murphy's illegitimate child whom they raised and namedafter her, "Sallie Lowe". Census Records indicate that her child wasborn in Aug 1878. But her child's Death Certificate indicates her birthwas 21 May 1874 (the Death Certificate information was provided bySallie's daughter Myrtlee Shaver Walker. And the Father of Sallie,listed on the certificate is incorrectly listed as Sam Murphy. So it ispossible that the birth date is in error as well.)
