Isham Beasley lived first in Smith County in what is called Beasley©ØOØsBend, to the southwes t of Riddleton. In fact we understand that the Bendtook its name from Isham Beasley. Peyton©ØO Øs Creek is a stream about 20miles long that rises about seven to ten miles east of Lafayette , flowsgenerally southward and empties into the Cumberland not far fromRiddleton, above menti oned. But we confess tha t we do not know exactlywhere the road over which Isham Beasley wa s appointed overseer, leftPeyton©ØOØs Creek.

We have quite a number of items concerning Isham Beasley which we hope togive in a later arti cle. This man was form North Carolina, and served inthe American Revolution. He married Poll y Andrews and by her, was thefather of perhaps 16 sons and daughters. After having lived fo r some timein the section now known as Beasely©ØOØs Bend, he removed to theSullivan©ØOØs Bend s ection higher up the Cumbe rland where he becamewealthy for his day and time, owning hundred s of acres of good land andscores of slaves. His will is on file at Carthage and we may publi sh itat some future time. He is listed as the head of a family in the SmithCounty Census Reco rd for 1820, as follows: One male under ten, one male10 to 16, one male 16 to 18, one male 1 8 to 26, and one male from 45upward. We suppose tha t he was the male above 45. Females were : Twobetween 10 and 16, one from 16 to 26, one female from 26 to 45, and 30slaves.
