Henry Beckham and Edna Vaughn

Henry Beckham was born on October 4, 1826 in Hardin County, Tennessee. His census records say Tennessee, most likely Hardin County because records indicate that his parents Leonard Beckham and Zilphia Rose were there near that time.

On the 1850 census, Henry is still living with his parents.

Henry Beckham married Edna “Edney” Vaughn, daughter of John Vaughn and Nancy Matlock on November 19, 1850 in Crawford County, Missouri. (John's 2nd Great Grandparents)

Hugh Glenn and Elizabeth Fine

 

Wash Cemetery

This is an early account of this family:

"From "A Walk Through Time" compiled by Reagan L. Glenn

Hugh Gideon Glenn married Sarah Sappington and they moved from Madison County, Kentucky, to St. Louis county, Missouri.  Sarah died on 17 September 1811 and was buried in the long Cemetery in St. Louis.  Hugh then married Elizabeth Fine McDonald on 26 January 1813.  Hugh bought land near the Meramec River where it joins the Mississippi River in the township of Carondelet.  He bought 160 acres on Davis Creek, and when the county of St. Louis was organized on 1 January 1838, James Glenn, Hugh's Brother was listed as owning 227 acres and Hugh as owning 160 acres.  On 23 September 1817, Hugh applied for a license to trade with the Cherokee and Osage Indians from the Territory of Missouri.  Hugh sold 80 acres of land to James Glenn.  The land was in St. Louis county and sold for 110 dollars.  The sale was witnessed by Thomas Sappington and Joseph Sappington, and the deed was recorded on 30 August 1832.  Hugh and James left St. Louis County, Missouri and moved to Crawford  County, Missouri in the township of Johnson.  Hugh died before 5 April 1835.  His will left all his property to his wife, Elizabeth.  Hugh and Elizabeth Glenn owned one slave. The slave was born in 1830 and his name was George Millias."

This section is what I have found:
I have not obtained a copy of Hugh Glenn's will. The will book index is not available online and you cannot order a specific will. All that I have found is that you either have to visit in person or order microfilm rolls.

Hugh Glenn was born in Kentucky according to the census records of his children.

No marriage record had been found, but Elizabeth's name is believed to be Fine because Elizabeth is living with Ann Fine (widow in 1850).  Ann Fine is listed as the owner and the land has a value of $500.

Although this account states that Hugh Glenn left all his property to his wife, no deeds have been found for either David Fine or Hugh Glenn in in Crawford County. Few deeds exist for this time period and prior to 1850, purchasers of the federal lands in Missouri were exempt from land taxes for five years after purchase. (Source: Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources, edited by Alice Eichholz, p. 386)

However, the 1850 US Federal Census- Slave Schedule lists an E Glenn of District 24 Crawford County.

The 1840 Census lists Elizabeth as the head of the household with seven (4 males, 3 females) free white people and one slave. Six of the white people are under twenty years old.

Elizabeth purchases land in Phelps County Township 39-N, range 6-W on 10 Dec 1841

Most of the information about this family comes from the 1850 census.

Hugh and Elizabeth Glenn are believed to have the following children: Martin Glenn (about 1821), Gideon Glenn (abt 1825), Anderson Glenn (abt 1827), Jackson Glenn (1830)

The 1850 Census shows:

Entry 68 Elizabeth Glenn 59 widow

Martin Glenn 29 M Farmer

Jane Glenn 18 F

Ann Fine 80 F

Entry 69 Gideon Glenn 25 M Farmer

Susan Glenn 24 F

John Glenn 6 M

Henry Glenn 4 M

Elizabeth E Glenn 2 F

M F Glenn 3/12 M

Entry 70 Anderson Glenn 23 M Farmer

B J Glenn 21 F

Alexander Glenn 1 M

F A Glenn 4/12 F

Entry 71 Jackson D Glenn 20 M

Elizabeth A Glenn 17 F

Permilia Glenn 11/12 F

No census record found for 1860

In 1870, she is living with Jackson and Elizabeth Branstetter Glenn in St James, MO

1870 Census:

Entry 260 Anderson Glenn and wife Rachel Branstetter Glenn, farmer with $2,000 real estate and $740 personal property.

Entry 261 Jackson Glenn and wife Elizabeth Branstetter Glenn, farmer with $1,900 real estate and $600 personal property.

Entry 262 Elizabeth Glenn 80, keeping house with $1,000 in real estate and and $300 in personal property.

Other family members are listed, but the cenus is very hard to read.

In 1880, Elizabeth is living with her son Jackson and his wife Elizabeth Branstetter Glenn and children: Mary J (16), Ollie A (14), Robert Jackson(12) and May (7) in Dawson Township, Phelps, Missouri.

 Elizabeth died in 1882 and is buried in Wash Cemetery. The information says that she was born February 11, 1793 in Tennessee and died November 15, 1882. Wash Cemetery (38.123697, -91.610112) is about 10 miles North of St James, Missouri.

Frederick and Eve Eulice Rose's daughter Zilphia married Leonard Beckham and their son William married Leonard's sister Elizabeth Beckham. Zilphia and Leonard Beckham moved to Missouri between 1834-1837 based on the census information about the birth places of their children. I did not find any records for Leonard Beckham in Hardin County, Tennessee.

I found this note written by Henry Beckham:

 "Although the pioneers of Cocke County suffered less from Indian incursions than some of the more exposed counties, numerous instances of massacres and other depredations might be detailed.  In the latter part of 1783 the Indians began to steal the cattle and horses of the few persons who had that year settled along the French Broad and Nolachucky.  They then retreated across the mountains to North Carolina.  Maj. Peter Fine and William Lillard raised a company of thirty men and pursued them.  After killing one Indian and wounding a second, and having regained the stolen property, they began their return and encamped.  During the night the Indians who had followed them made a sudden attack killing Vinet Fine and wounding Thomas Holland and Mr. Bingham.  The savages remained in the vicinity until near morning when they took their departure.  The members of the company then broke a hole in the ice of a creek upon which they had encamped, and put body of Vinet Fine in the water of the stream, which has ever since borne the name of Fine Creek". (Goodspeed's History of Cocke County)

David Fine, John's 4th G Grandfather (1764 Virginia- 1845 St Louis, Missouri) was the son of Thomas Fine and Agnes Merchant.  Thomas Fine and Agnes Merchant had nine children: Vinette 1750-1783, Phillip 1751-1825, Peter 1753-1826, John 1755-1829, Weden "Wenden" 1757-1787, Euphremeas 1759-1785/95, Elizabeth 1761, Jacob 1763, David 1764-1845.

THE NEW PORT

Here, near the ford below Major
Peter Fine's ferry, the town was
established in 1799. It was the
head of flatboat navigation on
the French Broad; each spring a
fleet went downriver. The townsite
moved about 1867, after the rail-
road was built along Pigeon River.
Peter Fine died in 1826 and is buried in Roadman Cemetery

Peter remained in Cocke County, but Phillip and David left New Port for St Louis.  They were early settlers in this area.

Elisha’s first land grant in Upper Louisiana was on Little Rock Creek, eight miles south of David Fine’s settlement. (American State Papers, Public Lands June 13, 1812 – April 12, 1814)
