Augusta Spears ancestors, the Van Horns, fled to Canada after the
Revolutionary War. They lived upstate New York and had extensive land
holdings. They were patroons in NY and United Empire Loyalists.
When Augusta andAlexander married in February, she became  pregnant
immediately. In August s he was crossing a pasture to visit a neighbor
[relative?] and the pasture was the closest route. She had no idea there
was a bull in the pasture - this wa sher regular way to go, and never
before had there been a bull. She was appr oximately seven months pregnant
and ran as fast as she could and was able to escape the bull. My
grandfather was born that night; the doctor said his birt h weight was
about 2 # [slightly under] definitely premature. This story of h erbeing
pregnant before marriage is still being passed down the family, 130 years
later Her mother never forgave Augusta's husband, resulting in their
moving to Illinois. Mom said she was told he had no finger nails or hair
and at thetime it was a miracle he lived[inglis family.and Keith

Mary Menefee saw "Uncle Lon" in Calgary in 1929 when she was coming home
from Canada on a trip with mybrother Ed, 4, and me [Glenna - I turned
one on that visit]. We traveled in acompartment on the Canadian Pacific.
For some reason most of the children we re given nicknames based on their
middle names in the Beebe family. Mom thoug ht his name was Lon or Lorne,
but there is no record of a Lorne and I think t he information I was given
by Cynthia Kerns is accurate. Her mother, Edith Sp ears Kerns, is Mom's
cousin and a granddaughter of both Alexander Spears and Augusta Beebe, as
is my mother.[inglis family.and Keith .4FBK.ged.FBK.FBK.FBK .FTW]

Aunt Anna lived with her Aunt Mary until an accident occurred on the way
from Toronto to Markham. AuntMary had driven off a small incline around
a curve, and upon recovering said,"Oh,Anna, I'm so glad we died
together." Aunt Anna never disagreed with anyo ne, didn't tell her they
weren't dead or injured. Aunt Mary died several hour slater; mom feels
she talked herself into it. The doctor said she had no inj uries.
Aunt Mary never married. Of all the girls, she stayed home to take
ca re of her father Silas, who died in his at 96, totally blind for his
last 20 years. She had a boyfriend who used to 'court' her; her father
always called toher to come in the house at 9:00,even though she was
well into adulthood a ndeven middle age
Aunt Anna went to live with her after Silas Lancing Beebe died to
help Aunt Mary in her latter years. Aunt Mary encouraged her to not d o as
she did, to get married sometime, and have a life of her own, which Aunt
Anna did.[inglis family.and Keith .4FBK.ged.FBK.FBK.FBK.FTW]

According to some notes Iwas given the Beebe genealogy was given to
"George". Knowing the proclivity of this family for using middle names or
nicknames based on middle names, I feel the genealogy went "West" with
his side of the family. I hope we can find his ancestors to get this
valuable information. Maybe someone reading this ma ybe able to solve
this problem. Also, there is a rumor the Beebe's came over on the
Mayflower, which I will pursue and maybe we'll learn more. The Mayflo wer
made several trips after the 1620 trip, and I have not found them on any
ofthose manifests.[inglis family.and Keith .4FBK.ged.FBK.FBK.FBK.FTW]
