Missing pieces
James Asa Beebe...maternal grandfather. Left home aprox 12 yrs to 17 yrs old hired on as cabin boy on whaling ship. Born aprox 1852 in Nova Scotia. Had sister Bertha and brother Clarence. Relative Ella Beebe who married a Clements. Was in New Brunswick some time. 1st Marriage to Hannah McGinnis who died in child birth in MI and left him with some children. Then with kids married my maternal grandmother Alice Hawkins Trask...who married a guy last name Trask and had kids with him....them she married my maternal grandfather James Asa Beebe who was a lumberman in Hawes Township, Alcona County, and had a lumber camp called Mud Flats. Lumbered white pine about 7 miles west of Lake Huron in a town called Lincoln, MI, USA. Both families came together and then Jim and Alice had 6-7 kids of their own, to include my Mother, Viola Harriet Beebe and sisters, Emma, Isabel, Laura, Alta, and a brother Allen. I just learned that there was another boy named John E Beebe who was deemed insane at 17 yrs old and placed in an asylum in Traverse City, Michigan, USA and he died there at 38 yrs old. I have never heard of him from my Mother or family and know nothing about him. Any information about my maternal family would be greatly appreciated.
