The following stories about the family of Samuel Beasley were written by Dorothy Hicks Coppit , of 204 Cherry St. Rossville, Ga. 30741, phone 706-861-4042. Dorothy was the daughter of Le e Allen Hicks and Edna Prestwood. Samuel Beasley was Lee's grandfather and these storied wer e told to Dorothy by her father.


BEASLEY - Part I

"Our great-grandfather was a Cherokee Indian, last name Beasley. As a young man he met , courted and fell in love with a young white woman, our future grandmother. They married an d he moved his bride to the Indian reservation, thinking everything would be fine. But, tha t wasn't the case! The Indian ladies of the tribe would not accept his white bride, simply b ecause she was a white woman. These Indian women would gather together in groups and threate n our great grandmother with bodily harm, cruely teasing to cut off her fingers and her toes . They were making her life miserable! Now, because Beasley loved this woman so much, he to ok her and left the reservation. They made a home for their family away from the Indians.
I know Beasley and his wife had two daughters and perhaps more; and maybe sons too. On e of their daughters was named Sarah Beasley".

SARAH BEASLEY - Part 2

"Sarah as a young lady met and fell in love with Sherfield Hicks. However, her father, B easley, did not approve of Sherfield Hicks. Beasley for some reason didn't like the dashing , young handsome Hicks man. He forbade Sarah from seeing her bow. Sarah was crazy over her y oung bow and wouldn't listen to her father's words. She slipped around to see him when she c ould. Sarah and Sherfield got up their courage and ran off together and got married. This m arriage hurt Beasley very much. It also made him very, very angry! He was so angry and hur t that he gathered all of Sarah's clothes and belongings and tied them up, put them on a tal l totem pole and burned them up! Sarah had just bought a new pair of pure leather shoes, (th e latest style) so her sister told their father that they were hers so he wouldn't burn the m too. She later slipped them to Sarah.
Sarah's father never spoke another word to her for the rest of his or her natural life ! But when Beasley died, his family went thru his papers in an old trunk and found a large s tack of gold for each of his children, and in it was also a stack for Sarah! He still love d his daughter. Love never dies! This is how I believe that our grandfather Hicks and Sara h Hicks got their start. Lee Allen Hicks, my father believed it too!"

NOTE:
(This is a story that my father, John Lee Bray has told me ever since I was a small child. Th is is the first time anyone has ever been able to verify it for me. Linda Bray York - 8/20/2 000)


SHERFIELD & SARAH HICKS - Par t 3

"Sherfield Hicks and wife Sarah Beasley Hicks decided to buy land on Sand Mountain and b uild a home there. They had been married for several years now and had almost grown children , but none were married. It was time to settle down.
Grandpa Hicks came to the mountain and bought land in the New Home Baptist Church Commun ity of DeKalb County, Alabama. The land had beautiful trees, also good, God-fearing people a nd a school for the children. It was a good place to bring his large family. He made arrang ments with the New Home Baptist Church leaders to stay inside the church for shelter, whil e building his log home.
With the land bought and a place to stay, Grandpa went home to get his help for the jo b ahead. He got saws, axes, wagons, chains, food for several months, cooking pots and pans , soap and clothes.
Grandpa thought two of the boys were big enough to help cut the logs, drive oxen and ru n errands. He took the oldest son, Mathias and the next oldest boy, Lee Allen back with him . But, what about the cooking and washing clothes? Grandpa knew the boys would be too busy f or cooking and washing the clothes. I think, the best I can remember, he decided to take Lil y for the gruesome job of cooking outside in the New Home Churchyard over a campfire, Lily a lso did the laundry.
Sarah stayed home with the other children and began getting ready for the great move ahe ad of them. Daddy (Lee Allen) said, they used two oxen to pull the logs onto the wagons an d also to unload them at the building site. He also said he did a lot of the driving, becaus e he was too small and young to do some of the heavy work.
I was told by family members and Dad that he was about nine or ten years old when his mo ther passed away. Pearl was two years old and Jess was somewhere in the middle. I think Sar ah and most women back then, had babies about every two years.
When Grandpa Hicks finished his buildings, he moved the family into their new home. Dad dy said that he attended school there at New Home. I know that he had a beautiful pen-ship . He wrote me and Mama cards when he was in the CC Camps below Huntsville, Al. I would neve r have known he could even write, except for that!
All this is true as far as I know. It was repeated many times in our families. I thin k Grandpa Hicks did a mighty fine job raising his family. Sarah was a fine person too. I a m proud of my forefathers!"
