I'd been holding on to this to transcribe on rootsweb and finally got around to doing it. This will supports a few things. First, it supports that David
Beckwith is the father of Susannah
Beckwith married to Allen
McLain of
Muskingum Co Oh. It also supports my contention with supported documention that David's wife was Catherine
Justice, daughter of John
Justice Jr of
Frederick CO MD.
