Slowhands,

Sorry to be so long getting back --

Thanks for the information. That is my James Beach. His Civil War Pension file shows he that in 1860/1861 he was in Mason City, Mason, TN living with his half sister but I can't find him on the US Census.

His half sister would have been either Sarah Jones, Ann Jones or Hannah Jones. It is my assumption his half-sister was married before she came to the US. If I knew who these ladies married it would help me locate James on the 1860 US census.

As far as his half-brother Jerimiah, I don't think they came to the US together, at least I can't find Jerimiah on the ship's record. However, it is interesting that when James' parents and his sisters came to the US a Jerimiah Jones was listed on the ship's recored immediately below the Beach family.

Thanks again for your help.

Craig
