Biography

PARENTAGE

William Andrew Beck (son of William Beck and Ann)
The primary confirmation of his parents is through the association of his sister, Frances Ann Beck, who is living with him in 1850 and 1860.
He is listed as ANDREW in 1850, and as WILLIAM in 1860, but since his sister is living with him on both census, that somewhat ties them together.
Further confirmation is in 1850, where he and his siblings are living next door to father William Beck, and step-mother Elizabeth (Lewis) Beck. Several of these siblings have death records that name parents "William and Ann Beck".
In addition, he is named as WILLIAM ANDREW BECK in an 1851 law suit with his step-mother, Elizabeth (Lewis) Beck.
