*********
William Beasley had died from a fall from a horse, either 
late 1821, or early 1822, the exact date excaping us at the 
moment.  His brother, John Beasley, along with the widow, 
Nancy Beasley, and her father, Henry English, Sr., were 
bonded March 1822 to act as Administrators to the Estate.  
John Hudson, son of Frederick Hudson and Lucy (Greer) 
Hudson, married one of the dec'd daughters, Elizabeth 
"Betsey" Beasley, 23 December 1823.  For the record, 
another daughter, Sara Annie Beasley, married William Greer 
Hudson, another son of Frederick and Lucy (Greer) Hudson in 
1830.
