Died:
I found no Beaumonts in Jefferson County in 1870. Must be some records lost in a hurricane or fire or something. Some of them should have shown up somewhere. Anyway, last record is 1860. Some researcher had a death date 1 Dec 1863 for him, with no documentation. If he died in 1863, they were mostly likely in Grigsby Bluff as I don't believe any of the family who had moved into Beaumont proper that early.

John married Mrs Mary L (..) Beaumont about 1837 in Pennsylvania. Mary was born about 1807 in of, Pennsylvania; died before 1850. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
