  - ** See marriage notes for list of children ** - 1860 census listed a Matison Beshears age 45 living with Sciotha & Martella Beshears -- possibly a brother? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- found at findagrave.com Sciotha Beshears ?? possiby a son? Birth: unknown Death: unknown He was buried next to Joe Ann I will research later and edit if needed. Family links: Spouse: Joe Ann Beshears (1849 - 1907) Inscription: CO B 17 KY Cav. Note: The first name could be Sciotha but the stone looks likeSclotha but I looked on Ancestory.com and there is a Sciotha listed with the same Civil War info so I will leave it as is unless someone knows different. Burial: Shyflat Cemetery Hopkinsville Christian County Kentucky, USA Created by: Craig Thweatt Record added: Dec 11, 2010 Find A Grave Memorial# 62819755 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
