BEAMER, MITCHELL, SNOW -
About 4 years ago, someone sent me the name of my great great grandfather and the complete list
of his children - among whom was the name of my great grandfather William B. Beamer. The
great great grandfather was John N. Beamer, 4th child of Henry Beamer and Nancy
Snow. John was born in Grayson County, VA in 1808. In the interim, the complete file I had
on the Beamer family was lost and now I am trying to put it all back together. If anyone
has any information on John N. Beamer and his wife Obedience Mitchell and their
children and is willing to share with me I will be most grateful. Grayson County, VA. Surry
County, NC. Montgomery County, VA and Roanoke County, VA Thanking you all in advance.

CRANFORD, CRAWFORD, FAPPING, LAPPIN,
SAPPIN, TAPPAN, TAPPEN, TAPPIN, TAPPING,
TOPPING -
Searching for information on 2 surnames in unknown Va counties:
Tappan, also spelled
Tappen, Tappin, Tapping, etc. The name was listed in some early Michigan
records under Lappin, Sappin, Fapping, and Topping. Some of the
errors may be due to handwriting interpretation.
AND Crawford. This family name was
listed as Cranford in the 1880 CD done by LDS.
The Tappans and Crawfords
moved from NE sometime after 1885 and before 1890. My grandmother was born "somewhere near
Richmond" but I do not know the county. She and her parents show up in Newport News by the 1900
census but she was not born in Warwick county. Her maternal grandparents, the Tappans are
no longer with the family in 1900 and may not have made it all the way to Virginia. But, we
believe that they may have died in VA. I am hoping someone else searching these names might be
able to help me or I them. Thanks.

CAMPBELL, MacLEAN, McLAIN, McLANE, McLEAN -
I am seeking information regarding a Collin (Colin?) Campbell born 1760 in SC, NC, or VA
according to later Censuses and Federal Mortality Tables. He died in Sumner Co., TN in 1850 and
is buried there beside a "consort" named Nancy (maiden name unknown). His earliest known
presence in Sumner Co., TN is 1806. This county is within the NC Military Reservation and he
settled north of the Cumberland River. His known children Margaret, Colin, David, James,
Jehosaphat, Mary, and Nancy were born in the late 1790's and the first decade of the 1800's
possibly to two different mothers. Collin's family had ties to Neal McLean
(McLain, McLane, MacLean, etc) who lived in Christian Co., KY who had
married a daughter of a Daniel Campbell in NC who had given Neal McLean and wife
Mary Campbell McLean the property in KY. Collin's daughter Nancy married Neal's
son John. Collin's son Jehosaphat married Neal's daughter, Margaret. Any help connecting Collin
and Daniel Campbell east of the Appalachians and tracking the ancestors of Collin
Campbell would be greatly appreciated.
