Julius was born in 1798 to Benjamin BECKHAM and Mildred Amelia BALLARD. He died on April 4, 1857 in Alachua County, FL. and is supposedly buried somewhere in the county.

(1833-1904); Marion Julius (1835-1917); and Joseph Murrah (1840-1902). Robert James and Marion Julius are buried in the Providence Cemetery in Windsor, FL. Alexander C. is buried in the City Cemetery in Waldo, FL. William Caswell is buried in Young County, TX while Joseph Murrah was buried in El Paso County, TX. The burial places of Julius, his wife, Benjamin Troy, and Mary Elizabeth (wife of William Tillman CHEVES) are unknown to me. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
