    Notes:

    [From "Beck and Tittle Footprints" by Nell Truitt prepared
    01.October.1998]:
    George Beck, Sr. brought his family from North Carolina in
    1807, staying a short time in Bear Grass, which is now
    Louisville, Kentucky. George and his two older sons, John,
    age 23 and George, Jr. age 16, while out scouting in
    December 1807, located organ Spring along Mill creek and
    built a grist-mill ther. The spring was dammed and provided
    a gallon of water per minute at 60 degree temperature. The
    first grist mill was a log structure fifteen feet square.

    Within a short time, Beck's Hill, as the settlement was
    known, became a social center as families from a thirty
    mile radius brought their corn to Beck's Mill to be ground
    into cornmeal. Sometimes it took two or three days as they
    waited their turns, so games were played outdoors with the
    young Beck boys. In the summer of 1825, a frame building,
    twenty by thirty feet square replaced the first mill
    structure. Two years later, a lean-to was bult and a
    carding machine was put in operation. A commodious,
    two-story frame structure for the mill was built in 1864,
    and the carding machinery was placed in the second story.
    The structure still stands in 1998.

    Notes:

    The Devin Family, page 39 states that the unnamed husband
    of Susan Devin was the son of Philip Beck; who had married
    her sister, Elizabeth Devin. KLV thinks that the husband of
    Susan Devin is the son of Philip Beck by a prior marriage.
    JNT in an email dated 04.October.1998, says father of Susan
    Devin's husband is George Beck; a cousin of Philip Beck.

    He was from Salem, IN. (Washington Co.)

    Rowan County, North Carolina became Davidson County, North
    Carolina. Andrew Beck moved with his parents to Washington
    County, Indiana Territory in 1808. [Beck & Tittle
    Footprints; 19981001]

    When Susan died, Andrew had the responsibility of a new
    born baby, a son, Alexander, eighteen months old, and four
    young daughters. He must have had help from other family
    members where they lived at Beck's Mill. Andrew M. Beck
    remarried two years after Susan died to Rebecca Barker.
    [JNT email 04.October.1998]. They moved to near Terrell,
    Kaufman County, Texas in 1854.
