General period of the entire line in Troup County, Georgia: 1837-1894 Both Georgia and Texas medical information contaiin records of Dr. Stephen T. Beasley. roster: confederate Soldiers of Georgia, 1861-1865, Vol II page 330,(Henderson): Beasley, Stephen T. July 8, 1861, Private. Appointed assistant surgeon July 17, 1861. Resigned March 21, 1862. Muster Roll of Company K, 13th Gerogia Regiment, Georgia volunteer Infantry, Evan's Brigade, Gordon's Division, Army Northern Virginia, C.S.A., Troup Co. Georgia. "Evans Guards" Betty Crook was Stephen's first wife. They married in Georgia, and had one female child. Betty and the child died either during or just following the Civil War. Dr. Beasley left Georgia and came to Texas. As the story is told, he was on the way to join a colony of soldiers who had served together and were headed for Mexico. He first stopped with his uncle, Stephen Beasley who lived in Gilmer and Marshall. This Stephen and his wife never had children. He came to Porter Springs off a boat bound for Galveston or Mexico, whichever tale you believe. The fact that there was some epidemic and there was desperate need for medical assistance is factual. Anyway, he got off the boat, gave some assistance, and stayed in Houston County. He first married Grace Smith, daughter of John T. Smith, a wealthy and influential planter. They had two children Stephen Jr., and Ada Louise. Grace died. Dr. Beasley later married Kate Smith, no relation to Grace, who was the daughter of John McCaw Smith, originally from Huntsville. Kate, a graduate of Sam Houston Normal, had obtained a job teaching school in Porter Springs.
