BUT I have since discovered that she was the dtr of THOMAS BEEZLEY/BEASLEY b. 1770 Warren Co. NC d.1828 Rutherford Co, Tn. and SALLY JACKSON. Thomas' father was JOHN PITTS BEEZLEY/BEASLEY D. 1792 Warren Co. NC and wife Elizabeth. BARNET BEEZLEY/BEASLEY was the brother of Thomas. i.e. Barnet was ANNA B. BURNETT's uncle, not her father. Don't know if you are revising, but maybe you are, on computer. I got the information from hlbeasley@worldnet.att.net who is a descendant of JOHN PITTS BEASLEY, father of both BARNET and THOMAS. I believe he is also a descendant of THOMAS. His name is Harold Beasley. THOMAS' will was filed in Aug. 1828 in Rutherford Co, TN: executors: William Beasley, Robert Williams and JOSEPH BURNETT (this BURNETT is undoubtedly JOSEPH BOLLING BURNETT who m. Anna Beasley. Joseph died in 1848.) Caroline Burnett Cook -------------------------------- End of btrvetc-d Digest V98 Issue #18 *************************************
