His move was a result of his second marriage to one Jean SANDERS/SAUNDERS, a native of Arkansas. I recall that Bernard/Bernie had adopted two male children (brothers) who would now be in their late "40's," or perhaps as old as 50. Bernard/Bernie was said to have been the owner of an Automobile Dealership in/around Hazen, although this may or may not be accurate. Bernard/Bernie was the second eldest son of Harley Earle BEAM (1881-1962) and Frances ROBINSON (1888-1964,) both of Allegan, then Berrien, then Van Buren County [Michigan] residents. Only two of his siblings remain alive - [my aunt] Virginia B. BEAM-NORTON of Jackson [Jackson Co., Michigan] and my father, Jared Earle BEAM, who currently resides in Van Nuys, Los Angeles County, California. Note that his [Bernard's] date of death was reportedly 1987. Note also that Bernard was a 1st. Lt.

Previously, T. C. had lived in Bradley County, AR, and homesteaded there in 1860 with a former wife, Mary Frances WILEY, who died. In 1850 this physician had lived in Pontotoc County, MS, and the family returned to MS following the Civil War. Eventually, they moved to first, Indian Territory in the Chickasaw Nation, then to Pottawatomie County, OK, where T. C. and his 2 sons and daughter and her husband homesteaded to found the town of Brown, OK, which no longer exists, but which was about three miles from where Tecumseh, OK, now stands. Does anyone have any clue as to the Civil War service of this physician? I can't find him in MS, but have found his brother. Did he serve for the Confederates in AR or did he stay at home and minister to the civilians? He was born in 1827 in AL, so would have been the right age for military service in the War between the States.

Sometime before 1870 they migrated from MS with other family members, and settled on a farm in Des Arc. Both died in 1870, and it is my understanding are buried on that farm. Is it possible to find if land was owned by a BLAKENEY family at that time. Their daughter-in-law, Lucy JERNAGIN BLAKENEY also died there. Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated.
