Abraham Beachey, 1793-1850
Abraham Beachey (1793-1850) was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He married Elizabeth Martin around 1819-1820. They were the parents of seven children. Abraham and his family moved to Lebanon, Ohio in 1835 where he worked as a plasterer. One of Abraham and Elizabth's children was Thomas Beachey (1820-1893) who married Cassie Ann Lewis in 1845 and was the father of four children. One of his grandchildren was Lincoln Beachey (1887-1915) the famous aviator and daredevil stuntman who died in a tragic plane crash while performing over San Francisco Bay.

Descendants and relatives lived in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana and elsewhere.
The Amish
The Amish movement, whose members live in 19 states of Canada and Central America are a mystery to just about everyone except themselves. Here is a group which has deliberately passed on just about everything modern society has to offer, extending as far as electricity, gasoline, television, automobiles and movies. Yet Amish children are not educationally deprived in any way and regularly score above average on standardised tests. This book presents background information including a bibliography on this most interesting movement and includes also a review of Supreme Court rulings related to the Amish.
Amish and Amish Mennonite Genealogies
This encyclopedia for Amish genealogists is certainly the most definitive, comprehensive, and scholarly work on Amish genealogy that has ever been attempted. It is easy to understand why it required years of meticulous record-keeping to cover so many families (144 different surnames up to 1850). Covers all known Amish in the first settlements in America and shows their lineage for several generations. (955pp. index. hardcover. Pequea Bruderschaft Library, revised edition 2007.)
