Want to post this info. for others to see:
I looked on Ancestry and through what I have.
At first look on Ancestry it looks as though John W. remarries an Emily, but in actuallity is a different John W., probably a cousin. John and Emily have an Ida born about the same time as Ada.
sks e-mailed me some information:
"Birth Registry Frederick County, Virginia 1853-1870"
Compiled by Dee Ann Buck
pages 4-5
Ada Grace BEEMER, born on 4 Aug 1857, Kerns town, parents John W. & Mary L. BEEMER, Tavern Keeper; p. 27, line 160.
Mary E. BEEMER, born on 13 Sept 1857, parents John W. & Mary L BEEMER, Tavern keeper; page 32 line 150.
On Ancestry in the Frederick County birth records 1855-96 is Mary BEEMER born 13 Sept 1858 white female (father) John (mother) Mary.
Also on Ancestry in Maryland marriages, 1667-1889 is
John W. BEEMER to Mary L. CAYNOR 8 Oct. 1856 Frederick County, Maryland.
I also have a copy of the 1860 census in Frederick county, VA listing
John W. BEEMER 33 m ? laborer
Louisa 21 f housekeeping
Ada G. 3 f
Mary E. 2 f
Margaret 9/12 f
Margaret CAYNOR 17 f (probably Louisa's sister)
Virginia COLEMAN 12 f (mulatto)
Given the fact he was a tavern keeper the following 2 items are probably your John:
Barroom license was granted to John BEEMER, Kernstown in the May term of County Court 1835
Shenandoah Valley Pioneers - - -c 327
This two story, five bay vernacular Greek Revival style brick house in Kernstown is laid in five course American bond. It features a gable roof of standing seam metal with an integral two story front porch. Other details include two interior gable end brick chimneys, six over six windows with jack arches, a three light transom over the front door, and a rear two story brick ell. Although the house has been sandblasted and converted into commercial use, it is an important historic landmark in the community of Kernstown. Also known as John BEEMER's tavern, the house was used during the mid nineteenth century as an ordinary for travelers along the valley pike. (For some reason I don't have the bib. for this.)
