Bio
Private, Company G, 6th Regiment, Mississippi Infantry, CSA Son of Lewis and Margaret Pennington Beasley Husband of (1) Susan Elizabeth Ashley, married April 25, 1865, in Copiah County, Mississippi; (2) Nancy America Echols, married June 24, 1900, Shelby County, Texas. The Beasley family is listed in the 1850 federal census in Gallatin, Copiah County, Mississippi. Parents Lewis, 39, and Margaret Beasley, 40, are listed with 9 children, including Isaac N, 6. In 1860 Newton Beasley, 16, was listed in Copiah County, Mississippi, with parents Louis, 49, and Margaret, 50, and siblings Larinda, 18; Charlotte, 14; and William, 11. Isaac N Beesley enlisted for 12 months on August 24, 1861, at Grenada, as a private in Capt. Archibald Steele's Company (Rockport Steel Blades), Mississippi Volunteers. This company was successively designated as Capt. Steele's Company, Capt. Willis's Company, and Company G, 6th Regiment, Mississippi Infantry. Pvt. I N Beasley was listed wounded at Shiloh and on furlough, in the June to September 1862 company muster rolls. Company G Muster Roll for November and December 1862 states he was badly wounded at the Battle of Shiloh, and at home unfit for duty. In 1870 Isaac N Beasley, 24, wife Susan E, 23, and daughter Sarah M, 2, were still living in Copiah County, Mississippi. In June 1899, I N Beasley, age 53, filed for a Confederate pension as an indigent soldier of the Confederacy, stating he was disabled from a wound received during the war, at Shiloh. Dr. P G Swearingen wrote that Mr. Beasley's right hip was badly fractured, and his pelvis penetrated, so that he was very stooped in walking, and unable to work with any ease. He owned a wagon and mule valued at $60, and had sold a mule and cow valued at $55 within the previous 2 years. In 1900 the widowed I N Beasley, age 54, was living in Shelby County, Texas, with his son, Frank, 12. In 1910 Isaac, 64, and Nancy A Beasley, 51, were living in Shelby County. His grave was unmarked previous to the application for a military veteran headstone in 1934. Nancy America Beasley applied for a Confederate widow's pension on July 8, 1918. Born in Tallapoosa County, Alabama, she had lived in Texas since 1873.
