Bio
Wilson, Lewis, Austin, and others. Most of the family seems to have started in the Colleton and Berkley Counties of South Carolina. Some migrated to Florida, and a few other places at least temporarily.
I was born in Charleston, SC in 1948.At 6 months of age I was placed in foster care until at the age of 8 I was sent to the Lutheran Orphanage in Salem, VA. , My parents are Jesse Windil Beckett 1901-1962 and Dorothy Elizabeth Brown 1921-2008. My Fathers parents were William Wilson Beckett and Laura Crosby Beckett. Their parents, respectively, were John William Beckett 1853-1911 and Margaret Elizabeth Wilson, who died in 1882.
Last fall I spent time going around Berkley, Colleton, and Charleston County Cemeteries taking pictures of many tombstones of family surnames and some that I think might be related. I have not yet organized them, but will be happy to share any and all that I have. Just e-mail me.
