Walker Beaumont

Mr. Walker Beaumont died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Eliza Wakely at Silvara on Thursday of last week, aged nearly 86 years.
Mr. Beaumont was born at May Pole Hill, West Riding, England, on June 3, 1816, the son of Joseph and Sarah (Walker) Beaumont. At the age of four years he came with his mother and one sister to America, the father having preceded them to this country the year before.
On May 5, 1844, he was united in marriage to Hannah Grubham, who also came from England at the age of seven years. To them were born eight children, Mrs. Sarah Shaver and Mrs. Amelia Lewis of Hillsgrove, Sullivan County, Mrs. Josephine Lattimer of Susquehanna; Mrs. Eliza Wakeley, of Silvara; James W. of Waterbury, Conn; Mrs. Estella Brown of Colley; Mrs. Mary Santee and Joseph, deceased. The wife departed this life on January 14, 1877.
Mr. Beaumont was a man of strong constitution and until his last sickness was always in good health. For the past thirteen months, he was confined to his bed and was a great sufferer, which he bore with Christian grace and fortitude, bowing in humble submission to the Father's will. He had bright hopes for the future, did not fear death, but longed to be at home.
The funeral services were held at Merryall Sunday afternnoon at two o'clock, Rev. M.L. Cook officiating; the interment was in Merryall Cemetery beside the remains of his departed wife.

More About Walker Beaumont:

Burial: Merryall Cemetery, Wyalusing Township, Wyalusing Township, between Camptown and Wyalusing, PA; the old Presbyterian church that was formerly there is long departed, according to Carol Brotzman

More About Hannah Grubham:

Burial: Merryall Cemetery, Wyalusing Township

Children of Walker Beaumont and Hannah Grubham are *:

19 i. Sarah Beaumont, born June 27, 1845; died August 5, 1934; she married Ira M. Shaver (April 5, 1832-1907). You can learn more about the Shavers and their relationships to the Wilber, Lewis, Wakeley and other families at Settlers LII: The Wilbers: A Farm Family from Wheelerville.

20 ii. Mary E. Beaumont, born 1847.

21 iii. Joseph Beaumont, born 1849.

22 iv. Permelia ** Beaumont, born May 11, 1851; died May 19, 1920.

23 v. Gosline Beaumont *, born 1853.

+ 24 vi. Eliza H. Beaumont, born May 1858; found in 1900 census for Silvara. She married George Loudon Wakeley, and then married his brother James Monroe Wakeley. Eliza never had any children herself, but her husbands both had families from prior marriages [see below].

25 vii. James W. Beaumont, born 1861; he is living in Waterbury, CT with his wife, Edith, and daughter Ethel, in the 1920 Federal Census for that town. A sister-in-law, Louise Bradley, presumably a sister of his wife, is also lv\iving with them.

+ 26 viii. Estella Beaumont, born December 17, 1862; died July 17, 1947. She married John Oliver Brown, with whom she had children: Nora, Florence, Elmer, Ruth, Pearl and Mahlor. She them married WIlliam Kerr Holmes.

27. Martha Beaumont, born 1870, was originally believed to be another daughter of Walker Beaumont. However, we have learned differently, and now know that she was a granddaughter born to Amelia Beaumont before she married Moses Lewis..**

* Note: The obituary for Sarah (Beaumont) Shaver indicates that she had another living sister at the time of Sarah's death in 1934. That sister was married to Douglas Russell Lattimer of Binghamton, NY. The Federal census for Binghamton, Broome County, NY in 1930 gives her the first name of Josephine, age 71 at that time, although we believe this is a mistranscription of her real age of 77. This conclusion is based on definitive evidence that "Gosline", listed as a "male" born in 1853 above, is actually Josephine, a female, born April 26, 1853. A complete summary of the evidence can be found at the aforementioned Wilber Family history.
** Note: This name is also incorrect. "Permelia" is actually "Amelia", later the wife of Moses Lewis. Amelia, and her daughter, Martha, Beaumont married Moses and Robert Lewis, brothers, respectively. According to Cindy Coppock, a Lewis family historian, Amelia already had a daughter named Martha when she married Moses Lewis. So, Robert Lewis married his step-niece, Martha Beaumont, daughter of Amelia Beuamont. You can learn more about the Lewis, Beaumont, Wakely, Shaver and Wilber relationships at the Wilber Family history page mentioned above and at Settlers XIV: The Edisons of Hillsgrove, which recounts much of the local Lewis family history.

Eliza never had any children herself, as indicated in the 1900 Federal census for Tuscarora Township, Bradford County, PA, where she is shown married for 15 years and having no offspring. However, her husbands had both been in prior marriages, and she therefore "acquired" dependents in this manner.

George L. Wakeley was married to Eve E. Montgomery (born about 1852) and they had the following children:

53 i. John Burton Wakely

+53a ii. Bradley Emerson Wakely, born Janaury 7, 1879 and died 1958; married Harriet E. Jacques, daughter of Charles and Alice Jacques, born in 1878, on August 15, 1899 in Wyalusing, PA. They appear to have then moved to Waterbury, CT, where they are found with his older brother, John Burton Wakeley, and her brother in law, Goldy Warden, in the 1900 Federal Census. She is still there as the family household head in 1910 with at least five children of her own: Ralph, Alice, Ferris, Caroline A. and Anna Severson Wakeley. She is still there as a household head in 1920, but is working as a servant with her daughter Caroline in 1930 in the household of Chinese-born George King. Meanwhile, Bradley has disappeared, but resurfaces in 1920 as a roomer in the Federal Census for Elmira, NY and then in 1930 in the Federal Census for Towanda, PA as a boarder with his brother John Burton and John Burton's second wife, Melva (Ferrell) Wakeley. Note that Eliza's brother, James W. Beaumont, and his second wife were also living in Waterbury about 1900 or soon thereafter, so there was some common family pull to Connecticut.
