Christian Henry Beck born Feb 23,1823 in Pennsylvania. Came to Stark County Ohio as a saddler. We believe his parents came with him but have no proof. A 1840 census shows only a Christian beck with 1 15 to 20 year old male, 1 50 to 60 year old male and one 40 to 50 female. His parents are listed as Christian and Mary Beck on his death certificate.
