| Notes |
- Family lore says Beecher Jr. was a jockey and gone from home for long periods of time, and also that he raced horses in New Orleans. Also, that he was a sailor on the Great Lakes (?). He left his wife when Charles H. was a "little boy." He was lazy. Buelah wrote that Eliza heard the he drowned in Lake Erie, then she married William Willcox.
Beulah thought Charles H. was about 12 when Eliza married Charles Gould.
Maxine Benham Spink says that Grandma Gould was very dark and if there is Indian blood, it may have come from her.
