In Response To: Beck Family (Janet Beck Johnson)

My GGGrandmother, Anna Bollinger Beck, was married to Isaac Sparks. Her parents were Samuel and Lydia (Bollinger) Beck. Anna's middle name was Bollinger. I have a copy of the 1860 N. Codorus Twp., York Co., PA census, which lists Samuel, Lydia, and eight of their children: Elizabeth, 11; Samuel, 9; John, 7; Amanda, 6; Dina, 4; Anna, 3; Jesse, 2; and William, 1. I'm sure by 1870, they may have had 3 more children.

There is also a card that shows Samuel's parents' names as George Beck and Magd: (Short for Magdalena) so I'm told. It shows Samuel's birthdate as 12 Jul 1819, however, in the 1860 census, it shows him at age 43, only a couple of years off.

I would be happy to share what I have, including all the copies of the original obituraries of the Beck family. If you look at the Obituaries on the DCO site, you'll see I have quite a few.

If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate seeing the picture of Samuel Beck and family. You should be able to see a picture of his daughter, Anna with her children, including my Great-Grandfather, Ezra Sparks, on the DCO site, as well.

Thank you,
