The Beck and the Howard families have turned out to have quite the legacy. 

Today, families such as Moore, Groce, Rounds, Copp, Wachal, Jewell, Neely, Brent, Deans, Sprague (to name a few)....all are connected through the Becks and Howards.

Here's a taste of your history.....   

We have had family members who have entered military service in every war since this country was founded.

William H. Beck and his Father William Beck along with Julius Howard all served during the US Civil War, and we have several of their records.  

In fact, through the Beck line, we can directly trace our lineage back to the 1700s.

On the Howard line through Lillian E (Wescott) Howard, we can trace our ancestors all the way back to the founding of the country AND the direct creation of the Baptist church.   

We have many notable relation, and we also have some infamous and colorful characters as well.    Does the name Benedict Arnold ring a bell?  Don't worry....Although he is a direct ancestor...he was more of an in-law.
