Biography

1776 Project
Private John Beck served with Rowan County Regiment, North Carolina Militia during the American Revolution.
Daughters of the American Revolution
John Beck is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A008283.

John Beck was the third son of Devault Beck and was born Jan 6, 1761, in Berks County, Pennsylvania. The family moved in 1767 - 68 to Rowan (now Davidson) County, North Carolina, where he married Catherine Null ca.1780.

During the American Revolution, he served several tours of duty in the militia under Captain Peter Hendrick. He was a quartermaster and served at Valley Forge.

On April 24, 1786, he received 200 acres on Pounder's Fork of Abbott's Creek from his father for 12 British pounds. About 1817 he sold land to his son John. He gave his son Jacob tracts on 336, 146, and 8 acres to satisfy Jacob's debts to the estates of Peter Frank and Jess Hargrave. In 1833 he received a pension for his Revolutionary service; it was rescinded in 1840 and re-instated after his death.

He made his will on June 8, 1840, leaving his property to his children, and he died on November 15, 1843, in North Carolina.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:

Beck-4433 and Beck-1048 appear to represent the same person because: Biggest difference is the children. Both profiles seem to have an incomplete list.

Evidence from Christian Beck's FindAGrave site: "Christian was the 8th of 12 known children of Johannes (went by John) C. Beck (1761-1843) and Catherine Noll/Null Beck (1761-1829)."

Beck-4433 and Beck-1048 appear to be the same person. The FindAGrave for Christian Beck says that Johannes went by the name John.

Beck-2382 and Beck-1048 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth date; please note death date variation on the biography when cleaning up from merge.
Beck-1046 and Beck-2382 do not represent the same person because: These should be merged into Beck-907 ... sorry for the confusion! :-)
