One of the marriages which tied the John Jacob Beck and Andrew M. Beck families together was that of Ellen Fogleman and her first cousin, Andrew Jacob "Jake" Beck. Jake was a cabinet maker, by trade and he joined Co. G of the 12th Texas Cavalry during the Civil War. It was during that war that Ellen had her first child, Jefferson, and it was also during that period that she found herself indigent and requiring assistance in the form or cotton cards, food and ammunition, from the county. Ellen's name appears on every "Indigent List" of Kaufman County during the war, and it is speculated that was one of the reasons why her father accepted the assignment as an inspector to determine which women and children needed help while their husbands were in the C.S.A. Ellen did apply, and qualify for, a Confederate Pension after Jake died - #05573.

Source: In the papers "The Old Sugar Bowl Tells Its Story, p. 2, this is written:
      "The Beck family was also moving west, part of them going to Washington County. John Beck and his family joined us at Bennet's Bottom in 1811. Those who went to Washington county settled near Salem, where they erected a mill, known as Beck's Mill. It was still grinding grist 118 years later in 1938.
      Records tell us our Jane Hegeman had married Jacob Beck, the son of John, on March 8, and Elizabeth had married Willilam Skidmore; both marriages taking place in 1822. Later the Becks joined the rest of the family in 1824 at Rob Roy, in Fountain county. Good farm land was to be had and Father John Hegeman found a good mill-site there.
      p 5: Orinda Hegeman had become the wife of David Skinner after his wife, Susannah Beck, had died. The wives were cousins. The Skinner family had settled in Portersville, now Valparaiso, and in some way had been helped by Charity, probably in illness. They were very fond of her and used to come for her when she was old and take her to their home for a visit. She died October 4, 1885.
      The little cemetery, Gossett Mills, on the hill was a quiet, restful place and many of the family were buried there; Grandmother Nancy Gossett in 1837, Nancy in 1838, both Grandfather and Grandmother Hageman in 1843, Grandfather Batten and William Gossett in 1845, and Orinda H. Beck in 1855. That year, Ira Gossett and several other young men, including William Beck, journeyed to the "Far West", not to return for many years. Only two of her children were near her, Hannah Jane, who had married Henry Hageman, and son, John, who lived at Salt Creek. Hannah Jane had gone to the western territories with the Fosters, but had returned after her marriage to Henry Hageman, and went to live near Waverly. Their first log house is still standing on Waverly road on the Joseph Ray property and was built about 1845."
