Your great grandfather was the brother of my great grandmother, Margaret Ann Beabout. She married Calvin Mohney and their oldest daughter was Elzora Mohney, my grandmother. So I guess that makes us third cousins, or something! All I have about John's ancestors is that his father was John Emmanuel Beabout (b. 3/2/1856 and d. 8/28/1929, both in East Brady) and his mother was Nancy Elizabeth Simpson (b. 8/5/1863 in Rimersburg and d. 4/16/1931 in Clarion). I have no more info on the Beabout side but do have some more about the Simpsons. My dad told me that John and Maude had 21 children. Is this true? You can email me directly at
