    Died in 1862: per Hist. of Hickory, Polk, Cedar, Dade &

    SLC 977.87 H2h (listing for Richard Beck) This may be
    questionable as there

    Another source said
    he died in 1876...not documented. Have copy of a letter he
    wrote in Mar 1863

    DOD certainly not in

    In Polk Co MO he held the office of County Treasurer; was
    collector a term; was
    representative a term; & County Judge for a number of
    years. He was a Democrat and a member of the Primitive
    Baptist Church. Kept store in Bolivar MO for 14 years. He
    was Justice of the Peace in 1849 when he married Clayton S.
    Devin and Nancy Rebecca Williams.

    William Robert Devin was one of the first settlers in
    Marion Township, Polk County, Missouri along with his
    brother Clayton Devin. Moved from Tennessee to Missouri in
    1834 per History of Hickory, Polk, Cedar, Dade, and Barton
