Jan- Sorry to interrupt but I did recognize Beeghley. There were a goodly
number in Somerset Co. In the willbook there are listed three: John(1844),
Micheal (1812) and Susanna (1877). The book "Two Centuries of Brothersvalley
Church of the Brethren, 1762-1962 by Rev. H. Austin Cooper is #1004 listed
for $39.95 in the Masthof Catalog. E-mail: or phone:
610-286-0258.
Snail address: Route 1, Box 20, Mill Road
Morgantown, PA. 19543-9701
Just an aside, there are also tons of Beachley's. (My mother grew up in
Meyersdale in Somerset Co. on Beachley St-they pronounced it "Beekley"). I
wonder if it is a variation of Beeghley, also Beighley. You may want to
contact the Somerset Co. Historical and Genealogical Society and see what
they have in their files.
