ALEXANDER D. BEAUCHAMP is a native of Hancock County, and is the
youngest or fourth son of a family of seven children born to R.
C. and Ann (Stowers) Beauchamp.  The Beauchamps were of French
descent and early settlers of Kentucky, the grandfather of
subject, William Beauchamp, dying in Daviess County, near
Owensboro, a great many years ago.  R. C. Beauchamp was born in
Harrison County, in 1800, and eighteen years later moved to
Daviess County, settling near Yelvington, where he resided until
1827; in the latter year he became a citizen of Hancock County,
locating in Hawesville Precinct on the old home farm now in
possession of his son, John W.  He was a successful farmer and
business man and represented the county in the legislature two
terms.  He died September 9, 1884, at the advanced age of
eighty-four years.  Subject's mother, Ann (Stowers) Beauchamp,
was born in Jefferson County, Ky., in 1811, and is still living
in Hancock County.  She is the daughter of John Stowers, an early
resident of Hancock County, whose death occurred in 1826.
Alexander Beauchamp was reared in Hancock County [...] and to
agricultural pursuits.  He spent the first twenty-one years of
his life with his parents.  He received a fair English education
at the common schools, and later attended St. Mary's College,
Marion County, where he was instructed in the higher branches.
He commenced farming for himself in Hawesville Precinct, which
has been his home ever since.  In 1863 he enlisted in the Third
Kentucky cavalry, Confederate States Army with which he served
until the close of the war.  His regiment was in the Western Army
Corps, under Gens. Breckinridge and Morgan, and saw a great deal
of active service, participating in a number of bloody
engagements.  After the close of the war, Mr. Beauchamp returned
to his native county and resumed farming, at which he has been
very successful, and has become one of the leading farmers and
stock raisers in the precinct where he resides.  He was married
December 13, 1867, to Miss Marietta, daughter of Enoch and Martha
J. Kendall of Daviess County, by whom he has four children: Mary
R., Enoch, Katie and Claribel.
