And he is his record of coming to this country is in the um Northeastern {NS} territorial history book. {NS} It's in the library that's where I found out some a this. He was shipwrecked off the coast of Maine {NS} he was eighteen {NS} and was shipwrecked off the coast of Maine swam ashore and lived to be a hundred and ten years old. #1 And he had another son that was #

Interviewer:  #2 Mm. #
105:  I mean about that. I have copies of that with my files of my {NS} there and then Henry had a son named James. And he moved on down into Pennsylvania and he's in the uh Presbyterian church {NS} history there in Philadelphia where we got some information from him. {NS} Then James had a son named {NS} Jeffrey. {NS} Don't have too much on Jeffrey except that he had a son named Jeffrey jr of which is my Revolutionary grandfather. {NS} And he lived in North Carolina and he was a scout. And um {NS} he uh I have s- some records of him in my and his sworn statement. #1 He was eighty-two when he went before a judge #
Interviewer:  #2 {NW} #
105:  {NS} in the {NS} {NW} South Carolina to put in for his pension. And gave a history of what he did during the Revolutionary War. {NS} And that he went in and stayed a while then he came back out and they called him back and then later they called him and he said that he said he was sick and unable to go. And he hired a man {NS} and paid him I believe he said twenty dollars or ten dollars or something to go in his place and his name was Enoch Smith I believe it was. And uh that uh they gave him a letter {NS} uh stating about his stand with the um loyal forces so that if any a them came along #1 they wouldn't take his property #
Interviewer:  #2 Yeah. #
105:  {NS} or they wouldn't arrest him that he kept that on and he lived on the main road through there in north Carolina at that time. {NS} {NW} Excuse me. And then uh he uh came into the northwestern uh southwestern part of South Carolina old Walhalla. Which was Walhalla is just across the {NS} the uh line from from Georgia up in Rabun County you know where Rabun County is. Well Rabun County my great-great grandfather Solomon Beck and his brother Samuel were um they moved into Rabun County before it was ever a county. In the early eighteen-hundreds. Now my grandfather Solomon is buried up here in Cherokee County uh {NS} at uh {D: Shock Mount} uh Church um in yeah the church there right just Rock Church on the left as you go before you get to Ball Ground. And uh he is buried there he lived to be ninety-six years old {NS} and uh he my father has told me from time to time when he's mentioned that he uh was cutting wood and cut his foot with a ax and blood poison set up and he died from {NS} blood poison.
Interviewer:  But not
105:  At ninety-six #1 not #
Interviewer:  #2 {NW} #
105:  #1 Of course he was old age too #
Interviewer:  #2 At old age uh-huh. #
105:  but at the same time he wasn't strong enough #1 to #
Interviewer:  #2 Yeah. #
105:  #1 offset that #
Interviewer:  #2 {X} #
105:  or something. {NS} and uh then he had a son that's giving you my line of it they had several children but now the the most fantastic part of uh {NS} of this is in {NS} ten sixty-five there was a uh {NW} another man that came over. And uh {NS} heard his name was now you see you go to thinking about these and you sometimes you can't tie the names together. but uh her the {X} he came with them and then there was a lapse between uh {NS} uh ten sixty-five and the early um eighteen-hundreds {NS} that uh Nevilles. It was the Neville family that came in I knew I'd think of it later. And then my grand great-grandfather Solomon {NS} married a Neville of the direct line from the same one that they came across and there was a lapse of some seven hundred years #1 little over seven hundred years #
Interviewer:  #2 {X} # {NW}
105:  in there and then they
Interviewer:  Just happened to get together.
105:  happened to came and br- join in union again.
Interviewer:  Uh-huh.
105:  They were fighting for England and then the they made it up and then they moved out of Rabun County {NS} in the early eighteen twenties. {NS} Uh uh late twenties and and he settled in Cherokee County in eighteen thirty-two whenever they took it over from the Cherokee Indians in Cherokee territory. {NS} And he moved in there in the Ball Ground Militia district. And he lived in that community there until he died in eighteen and eighty {NS} six or seven. {NS} Or something I think is something there near by the latter part of eighteen somethings. And uh his he had a son that was {NS} was Samuel {NS} which was my great-grandfather. {NS} And he fought in the Civil War. {NS} with uh Phillips' Legion.
Interviewer:  Mm-hmm.
105:  And uh we don't have too much record of him but I'm still I have someone that I think {NS} has {NS} some uh {NS} news of that I mean has some records of him. He said he had a had a list of all the Phillips' Legions that were buried in Virginia.
Interviewer:  Mm-hmm.
105:  So he could been. He carried his horse with him and saddle so that's one reason he got in there that uh {NS} they would {NS} they would enlist these men that they had their own horse and saddles. #1 They could take them with them and be in the calvary like. #
Interviewer:  #2 Yeah. #
105:  {NS} And uh {NS} so I'm hoping that I will find out if he is buried in Virginia or where he is buried. Don't know.
Interviewer:  Hmm.
105:  Then my grandfather which is Rector Beck. Uh he was born up there in Cherokee {NS} and uh forty-nine eighteen and forty-nine. {NS} And uh and my grandmother she was a Jarvis and her father lived over in the bend of the river at the end of the place where they where they lived and up on the hill from the house that sits down here {NS} on this road and then you go up on the little hill up there. There's where the they're buried my g- hi- her father my grandmother's father and mother and there's a {NS} #1 iron fence around the two graves with a double-monument there and #
Interviewer:  #2 Yeah. #
105:  And that's off a the uh route five above Canton there before you get to {NW} on up before you get to {X} Turn off to the right and go back over in the bend a the river. And uh {NS} then my grandmother's buried in Sharp Mountain and my grandfather's buried there by his {NS} grandfather and uh and I have some aunts that's buried there and an uncle. {NS} In that cemetery. I have four generations is buried right there in that cemetery. {NS}
Interviewer:  Hmm.
105:  So they were settled in that part there. {NS} So uh then that comes down that uh whenever I my wife {NS} wanted to trace her family back about sixty two or three something like that some ten eleven years ago and #1 I wasn't least bit interested in it #
Interviewer:  #2 {NW} #
105:  and I just #1 said I'll go along with it and see what you #
Interviewer:  #2 Uh-huh. #
105:  about it. So I went with her down to the archives and {NS} she says well maybe you can find something says you look up something maybe you can find something on your family. So I got the eighteen and eighty census and found it up in there in Cherokee County in the Ball Ground Militia district. And uh I uh found my grandfather. And um he was living next door to Solomon. And my great-great grandfather and uh there it was listed he and my grandmother and my Uncle Jeff and Uncle Russel and my daddy's. And then that just set me on fire.
Interviewer:  Mm-hmm.
105:  When I saw his saw his name {NS} on some records that was eighty years old. You know that just it did does something to ya. And so from then on I've been trying to get all I can about it. And uh #1 then I've accumulated this other part that I told you about. #
Interviewer:  #2 Mm-hmm. #
105:  But the odd oddity of the of this how I got this record of him coming over my {NS} ancestor coming over with William the Conqueror in nineteen and forty-one {NS} there was some outfit in Washington was advertised in a magazine family records. So I sent 'em a dollar and got the Beck record in eight in nineteen and forty-one. {NS} And I brought it had all this information in it but it didn't mean a thing to me just #1 a bunch of words you see. #
Interviewer:  #2 Yeah. #
105:  And then after we found out about this {NS} uh {NW} just sort of remembered that we got that and she got that out and we still got it.
Interviewer:  Mm-hmm.
105:  And uh we read in that and I read it over again and then I come down to a long toward the last of it find out where {B} came over #1 so I know it's the same one #
Interviewer:  #2 Yes. #
105:  one of from it. So that's that was after twenty years you see. {NS} Held something so ya ya ya see if you don't throw things away. But there's one thing you want to remember that we have learned in ours is to always put a date and place on something.
Interviewer:  Yeah.
105:  There's so many many records that are kept but no dates #1 no places #
Interviewer:  #2 Hmm. #
105:  things like that. And well you're lost except for names. #1 You don't know where it happened. #
Interviewer:  #2 Yeah. # Yeah.
105:  And uh so uh I have out here on the show you before you leave out here on the wall framed the a copy of the secession when {NS} when Georgia seceded from the Union. {NS} And there's my uh great-uncle's name's {B} on that. That he was in Congress he was a Congressman for two different times in Rabun County.
Interviewer:  Mm-hmm. {NS}
105:  And uh when they seceded from the Union it's got the date on it and so forth back there and everything on it it's it's something um
Interviewer:  #1 I'm real proud of too. #
105:  #2 Oh yeah. # And uh so uh then uh found uh that he was that they were born there and then my father he was {NS} then they went into the marble business my grandfather went to Georgia Marble Company in Tate and they moved to Tate. Some time I don't know exactly when but is in it was after that it was in the nineties I guess. {NS} Uh and uh then my father being a young man he uh decided that that he would travel and go from place to place like a lot of that work here a while and get enough of money and then they'd go somewhere else to another place. He was a marble man. He was a a turning lathe man that turned vases and urns and columns and stuff like that on a turning lathe and a blacksmith. {NS} And uh he was a good one too cuz he did all of ours when we were in the marble business down here. Twenty years. He was in the marble business for thirty years. But anyhow he was in uh {NS} uh {NS} up in Tennessee there at uh Loudon where the old Hiwassee River that comes right here heads way up in north Georgia up here and goes on down through into North Carolina and on into Tennessee and through uh Loudon and then it goes and enters into the Little Tennessee and the Little Tennessee of course you know how that goes and uh right on the bank of the Hiwassee River is where Loudon is. So we went in the courthouse and {NS} searched through the files and we found uh where uh um where he got his marriage license and they were married and who the preacher was and #1 there's a copy of that all on record. #
Interviewer:  #2 {NW} #
105:  #1 Married in ninety-eight. #
Interviewer:  #2 Hmm. #
105:  {NS} And uh so uh {NW} that was the beginning of that and then later on uh I don't know why you're interested in all this #1 this is going a lot #
Interviewer:  #2 Yes I am. #
105:  #1 {X} #
Interviewer:  #2 I don't know if they are but I am. #
105:  #1 Huh? #
Interviewer:  #2 I love all this. #
105:  Well {NW} anyhow we have made trips to try to find things of our family and uh so we've been into Nashville two or three times to the archives there.
Interviewer:  Mm-hmm.
105:  And there's where I found out {NS} about my mother where she was born and such as that but uh I uh that's how it come us to go to Loudon on that. And uh {NS} all these archives are so cooperative in thing all you have to do is just give 'em a place or a date and something like that.
Interviewer:  #1 I didn't know they would have #
105:  #2 And they can take #
Interviewer:  #1 {X} #
105:  #2 Oh # they're just the most generous people that you ever saw. {NS} And uh we found out but I found out there that uh her father {NS} my uh grandfather Phillips. She was a Phillips. My grandfather Phillips was uh a sheriff up there at one time for many years. About eighteen or twenty years. And uh he died and my grandmother remarried uh and but in in the records it tells it asks the question where your parents were. So I di- I didn't go any further on my mother's side because her uh her grandfather was born in Germany and her grandmother {NS} I mean well yes from England.
Interviewer:  Mm-hmm.
105:  And we just {NS} think that they maybe they just happened to be they came over on the same boat and there they met. And then they came on over into Tennessee.
Interviewer:  Mm-hmm.
105:  And uh we think that uh. Who's the Pea-Picker that sings? Uh. {NS} #1 He call himself the Pea-Picker. #
Interviewer:  #2 {X} #
105:  #1 You know who? #
Interviewer:  #2 Yeah Tennessee Ernie. #
105:  Tennessee Ernie. #1 We think that we are distant related to Tennessee Ernie. #
Interviewer:  #2 Ah. #
105:  Uh-huh. and uh but uh we haven't traced that to find out anything about that. But uh I I couldn't go any further any deeper with her.
Interviewer:  Mm-hmm.
105:  With my mother's side of the family. But I did began come back and I started to search it more here. {NS} {NW} {NS} Then uh we've made trips to Virginia. {NS} Then that's where we found out some stuff about her family. {NS} {NW} And uh North Carolina. We been into the archives in Tennessee and Georgia South Carolina North Carolina {NS} Virginia. All of those and Alabama too. And uh just we didn't keep track of the expense. #1 If we did you'd a quit the second time #
Auxiliary:  #2 Yeah. #
105:  #1 we went around. #
Auxiliary:  #2 I know I know. #
105:  #1 {NW} #
Auxiliary:  #2 {NW} #
105:  So uh we wouldn't do that. But I found in the North Carolina census up there in the records I mean my {NW} great-grandfather Solomon sr had a copy of his will {NS} dated back in eighteen and eighty two or three something like that. And uh then that brings us right on back down to. {NS} Well now let's see I've got that and then uh Papa was uh {NS} in I have a sister and a brother was born in Memphis Papa actually married they finally moved into Memphis. {NS} He worked for a marble shop there. That's all he's ever done all his life you see He was raised up in the marble belt and so he stayed with it. Then he left Memphis and came to Murphy Marietta. And uh I was born over here on Roswell street across from the cemetery #1 there used to be #
Interviewer:  #2 Mm-hmm. #
105:  several little houses up there. And I had two younger sisters that were born here in Marietta between I was born in nineteen three and one of 'em was in five and one was seven. Then we moved to Fairburn about nineteen and eight sometime and then I had a sister that was born down there in nineteen and nine the latter part. And another one that was born in nineteen and twelve. Out in another place there but that was that and that was us. Five girls and two boys. {NS} Then in nineteen and thirteen {NS} dad moved to uh there was a demand for man of his ability at uh regal back there where there's blue. {NS} The regal blue marble is quarried in. {NS} And they built a lot of things from it so he went up there. And then we he moved us up there later. I remember we hauled our furniture over and put it in a box car and fastened it and then we all caught caught the street car there in Fairburn and came to Atlanta and then caught the train and came on up to Tate where my grandfather lived and we stopped off there two or three or four days 'til the furniture could get up to Murphy. And then when we got up there I think he had when we all got up there and we all stepped off the train seven children.
Interviewer:  Mm.
105:  And the mother and then met him makes it nine you see {NS} I think he had to get #1 he got about a three-seated hearse to haul us all over to the house. #
Interviewer:  #2 {NW} #
105:  #1 He'd already got the furniture #
Interviewer:  #2 {NW} #
105:  #1 and put it in a home #
Interviewer:  #2 {NW} #
105:  and uh put it in the house that we had {NS} and uh then uh we lived there in nineteen thirteen and then we weren't there that was in the fall. And then uh mother died in January of nineteen and fifteen. So you see there was uh {NS} a sister three years old and uh another sister that was sixteen and uh so af- shortly after that was whenever the War broke out in nineteen seventeen. {NS} My sister was married and my brother older brother {NS} which was uh wasn't but sixteen but he told 'em he was eighteen and went on into the {NS} volunteer {NS} and went into the service and I tried to {NS} tried to get in there with him and tell 'em I said well I'm his twin brother. {NS} They they shook their heads and said no. {NS} We can't take you. {NS} And so {NW} {NS} that was that and the topic then {NS} the War broke out and there was a demand for a mechanic {NS} in {X} Virginia the shell factory. {NS} So he {NS} inquired and got the um {NS} the uh {NS} school at Montreat, North Carolina run by Presbyterians. {NS} {NW} and they uh said that uh yes they could they had room for 'em. So they sent all four of our sisters up there Papa was able to pay their tuition and uh board and so forth by working in the {NS} in the shell factory. And then he went to the shell factory in {X} Virginia. And left me in Murphy. And I went to school what time I didn't play hooky.
Interviewer:  {NW}
105:  And uh so I uh until uh nineteen and nineteen the fall of ninety after the War at some time in the latter part of nineteen nineteen. Dad came back to Marietta and uh started in the marble business with a distant cousin. And uh I uh was still in school and then in March of nineteen and twenty I decided I wanted to go in the army. {NS} So I sent the papers down here for him to sign for me and told him that I'd like to go in I think it'd be good for me and all and he wanted me to go on and finish school and he said he's send me the tape and that's where I made the mistake by not #1 going on and finishing school. #
Interviewer:  #2 Mm. #
105:  And then uh {NS} he signed 'em and sent 'em on back up there and he put on there the correct date that I was born January the twenty-sixth nineteen and three and was seventeen years old. {NW} And I changed the three to a two
Interviewer:  {NW}
105:  #1 and the seven to an eight #
Interviewer:  #2 {NW} #
105:  #1 before I gave it to the recruiting officer. #

Interviewer:  #2 {NW} #
105:  But I never regretted it a bit in the world
Interviewer:  Yeah.
105:  cuz I got in and I got some of the best training. And from a physical standpoint I think it has been the reason that I'm as active as I am it has helped me to live these seventy-one years plus. And be as healthy and all as I am. And uh {NS} so I spent three years in the service {NS} came out in nineteen th- twenty three. And I stayed in Murphy for a short while {NS} and worked. And then I came back down later on {NW} and started to working with my dad. He was in business with another man so I had I was working just like any other hand and I started s- to uh {NS} setting our monuments. #1 Taking them out to the cemeteries and putting them up #
Interviewer:  #2 Mm-hmm. #
105:  for them. And uh then I did that for little while then I {NW} went with {D: A-N-P-T} company and worked for them for two or three year {NW} excuse me.
Interviewer:  Mm-hmm.
105:  Get talking too much and sometimes I get cough. #1 Maybe I am talking too much. #

interviewer:  you reckon Marietta will ever build a bridge or something so that people don't have to wait in line
105:  well now I'll tell you what's what's in the making it's in the plans at the state highway department I went down because I'm concerned about it and I'm in the path almost but they're coming up with this for a loop from seventy-five down off of Franklin road back in there coming up across Clay street and they got all the contract I think has already been let or something for widening it up to um Sycamore which is down off of Trey street down over that first hill #1 down there #
interviewer:  #2 mm-hmm #
105:  #1 #
interviewer:  #2 #
105:  then they're gonna come right up take off to the right northwest come up that {D: holla} back in across over here you been reading and you take Marietta Journal?
interviewer:  no I'm
105:  well #1 anyhow if you did #
interviewer:  #2 {X} #
105:  they've been talking about this old house {D: that Vanderbilt} in eighteen forty and one right behind this big two story house Senator Clay live there and one behind that they said was built before that was the slaughterhouse they gonna build come up that {D: highway} go under there and dig through there and right down through the taxi stand go under Atlanta street and under the railroad and connect over here at Powder Springs connecting and they said they was going to widen Atlanta street from down here somewhere and if it did that would affect me
interviewer:  mm-hmm
105:  so I went down and talked to the uh highway department about it and and that was what they showed me the plans for it and everything so now then they're trying to save those two houses if they did they'd have to change the re- change the route but I don't know how they can change it ain't no way to change a loop they could take the house the little slaughterhouse they could take it and move it as far as that part goes but the big two story house over there which was a Frasier house uh they uh they can't Sherman didn't burn that cause said she had a British flag hanging on the veranda and uh up on the little veranda #1 setup there #
interviewer:  #2 mm-hmm #
105:  #1 #
interviewer:  #2 #
105:  and uh she wasn't a she was a British subject and uh that's the reason he wouldn't burn it and uh but he made her make her take her flag down and they used the lower floor for a hospital and uh quarters officers' quarters
interviewer:  this is the slaughterhouse?
105:  n- no it's the uh #1 Frasier house up there #
interviewer:  #2 Frasier house #
105:  it's a big two story house sits right straight across over there and uh they're thinking about uh moving it they said they could move it he says we could buy it and move it and give it to 'em if they want to keep it the historic society and uh but it looks like that's the only way they can come through with that loop
interviewer:  yeah
105:  progress you know tears things down and but I hate to see everything #1 new #
interviewer:  #2 oh # no
105:  go go off they have some houses up on Kennesaw avenue that's real old and that loop will go on through back of Steven's lumber company over there and up to up to uh about Maple avenue and then it'll go back off go north north east and go back under the railroad again and then go back and come in over here to Barnes Mill road where it where that other end of the loop comes around and that's supposed to have a loop all the way around Marietta
interviewer:  huh
105:  and that was their plan saw that just then and if it is I'm involved in it so #1 that's why #
interviewer:  #2 yeah #
105:  I'm interested and we would have to move I wouldn't sell 'em no front yard and be in
interviewer:  no no
105:  step off of the
interviewer:  mm-mm
105:  porch into the highway well you gonna let that run #1 on #
interviewer:  #2 oh #
105:  #1 #
interviewer:  #2 # I'd forgotten about that {X} oh
