in the spring of 1860 moved to Tarrant County, Tex., where he died in

who married Rachel Moseley, and came to Barren County, Ky., about 1795 
or 1800, where he was engaged in farming and surveying, in the latter 
capacity laying out both roads from Bowling Green to Glasgow.  Mrs. 
Margaret Beckham was a daughter of Robert Ground, who was born in 
England and came to Warren County when in his teens; he married Rhoda 
Long, whose parents were born in Ireland, but who were among the 
pioneers of Kentucky.  Here one of their daughters, a sister of Rhoda 
Long, was carried off by the Indians.  Pleasant H. Beckham, who was 
reared a farmer, married, September 19, 1858, Perlina J. Moulder, a 
native of Tennessee and daughter of Jacob and Sarah (Evans) Moulder.  
Jacob Moulder was of German descent; was a farmer and a Baptist 
minister.  Mrs. Beckham died in June, 1879, a devoted member of the 
Christian Church, and the mother of four children:  Robert E. 
(deceased), Simeon A. (deceased), Annie L. and Addie B. In December, 
1879, Mr. Beckham married Mrs. Artemisia (Lowe) Fultz, of Warren County.
