Beulah and Adam Columbus Baucom were married on 5 Dec 1920 in Union County, North Carolina.^[4][5] The couple had three children, Butler Columbus Baucom (1921-1924) who died as a child,^[6] Joseph Adam Baucom (1925-1987), ^[7] and [private daughter (1920's - unknown)].

By the time the 1940 US Census was taken, the family had moved to Morganton, Morganton Township, Burke County, North Carolina, where Adam was working as a "leather hanger" in a tannery. In addition to Beulah and Adam, a daughter, a son, and Buelah's adoptive parents, Reason W. and Sarah E. Rushing, were living in the household.^[8]
