Nell...The male Beck line I have is as follows (I'll do this in more detail later). My brother William E. Beck II b.July 1954 [living - Kokomo In.]
My father William E. Beck b. Oct 1922 d. Jan 1982. His father was Claude Edward Beck b. 1891 d. 1954. Claude's father was Nathan M. Beck b. 1847 d. 1918 [born in Putnam County In.] (Claude's mother was Susan M.). Nathan shows up on the 1860 Parke county Indiana census as the youngest child of William Beck b. Apr. 8 1803 [born in North Carolina] (it could be Apr. 3 1803) and Susannah Allen Beck... On that census 1860 it shows William and Susannah as having 6 out of 9 (maybe 10) children living at home. I found a writing in Beckwith's History of Parke and Vigo County. Without re-typing it completely it reports William Beck B. Apr.8, 1803 in North Carolina is a son of George and Elizabeth (Claver) Beck both who came from North Carolina to the Indiana Territory and settled in what is now Washington Co. in 1806. It gives more history then says In 1825 William married Susannah and moved to Putnam County in 1830 where they lived until 1850 then moved to Parke co. The children they brought to Parke co. were George / Delila / John / Elizabeth / Nancy / Susannah / William A. / Josephine / Nathan....My Nathan! If you look at the family info you sent earlier today you will find at the bottom William B. Beck b. 1803 Rowan co. N.C. I will try to find time to be more detailed sometime over the weekend or at the first of the week. I'm tied up all day tomorrow. Mother's Day I might have a little time to type more. As I said I have Family Tree Maker software so maybe we can coordinate downloading info. Gotta run and pick up my son. Nice meeting you Nell. Susie

      Per 1900 Terre Haute, IN Census =
Children of Nathan and Susan are as follows:
            Emma B. b. 2/?/1876 Single white can read and write speaks English and is a
seamstress...
Charles F. b. 9/?/1882 Invalid can't read or write but speaks English...
Nathan E. b. 3/?/1887 In school ... can read, write and speak Eng....
Irene M. b. 7/?/1889 In school... can read, write and speak Eng...
Claude E. b. 9/?/ 1891 In school ... can read, write and speak Eng....
Susan is listed as a wife and her parents origin as Kentucky.... with her able to read, write and speak Eng.
Nathan is listed as a Teamster and able to read, write and speak Eng. I remember my grandmother saying that Claude worked with his dad driving teams that hauled logs to a saw mill before she married him. Circa 1908-09.
To date I have not tracked down what child died (most likely an infant but haven't confirmed that) and I haven't discover of the 7 living children as of that census who (male or female) was already "gone" from the nest! Also I know for a fact Claude was not the last child. He had at least one sister born after him named May or Mae ... she married a man named Harrod and lived her life in St. Louis Missouri. I know they had at least one son.
I have visited the grave sites of Nathan M. and Susan M. Beck ... They are buried at Calcutta Cemetery in Carbon Indiana.
Pay attention...
On Nathan's death certificate (I have a copy) it shows his birth date would have been 1/16th/ 1849 .
He died of complications of diabetes. His address at the time of death was 1641 7th Ave. Terra Haute IN. He was married at the time to Ada E. Beck. Ada is not buried near Nathan as he is by Susan. So I believe the date error on the death certificate is in fact because Ada didn't really know what year he was born and gave her best guess at his age. Nathan died on Jan. 18th, 1918 at the age of 71 (I believe). Susan died, according to her tombstone in 1904. Their son Charles F. (the invalid) died in 1906. My guess is that Ada was a widow and Nathan a widower so I imagine if I track her down someday she will be buried with her previous husband.
The strange thing to me in this search was that the Calcutta cemetery isn't in Terra Haute at all. It's in Carbon In. [North and East of Terra Haute and Vigo Co.] my current In. map shows Carbon as being just on the Clay Co. side of the Parke and Clay county line. It is right by Lena In. which is smack dab in the Northeast corner of Clay Co. where Clay butts up to Putnam and Parke. In the 1850's the lines could have run a mile or so either way and landed our Becks in any of the above listed counties. I have also found Nathan as early as 1850 on a census [taken Sept. 19th to be exact] and he is listed as 2 years old. That would make his birth date 1848. My copy of that census is so poor I can't tell what Township and County it's from. I copied it in the Rockville public library and I can't honestly say if it is Harrison twshp. in Putnam or Jackson twshp. in Parke (the copy of the census I have is terrible and the County name is cut off on the copy). I think it is Jackson in Parke because the Rockville Library is in Parke county but I could be wrong as they might have microfilms of Putnam too [although I doubt it] Again Nathan's birth date is in question. I'm inclined to think the people taking the info rounded up on his age as no 1/2 ages are listed or birth years on the 1850 census. He would have been 1 and 3/4 at the time (Sept.). So I am taking it upon myself to believe the date on the 1900 census [which I believe Nathan and Susan would have given accurately]!
