If you have the book "From Alabama to Appromattox" would you check the index to see if Company C 9th Alabama has a J. Beck.To help J. is (Jeffries) a Pvt. The only two company muster roll inform me: That Co C, 9th Regiment Infantry were for June 30th 1861 to August 30 1861.
Enlisted: May 24, 1861.
Where Hillsboro
By Whom J. M. Warren
Last paid by A. A. Burleson to June 30 1861. He was marked present.
The second slip tells that on the Register of payments to Discarhged Soldiers.
Date of Discharge: January 4, 1862
Date of payment January 4, 1862
by C. W. Hardy.
This was confederate
The information was taken from Confed. Arch., Chap. 5, File No. 111, page 30 signed J.Williams, copyist.

It reported he was discharged due to dropsy and old age.
The other document was State of Arkansas County of Logan when the widow Z. T. Beck was approved for pension Number 5866 Z. T. Beck widow of Jeffrie Beck, Driggs Post Office in Logan Co., Arkansas. Examined and Approved for $50.00.
Then a line drawn to This 14 day of May 1902.

The NATF Form 26 that I used in June 22, of 1983 Has this information filed: Jeffrey Beck, CW, Discharged honorably on account of Dropsy -Confederate
State from which served Alabama.The widow drew a pension 5866 drawn in 1899 & 1900, refiled in July 15, 1902. by Z. T. Beck, aged about 74 in 1902.
Block number 6. reads 9th Alabama Reg. Lawrence Vol.
On the widow Mrs. Z. T. Beck , of Jeffrie Beck read that about the year 1872 her husband died. She reported her self as invalied and drew a pension as his widow for the years 1899 and 1900, that last year 1901 she was visiting her son in Texas and failed to make application that the proof of my husbands Service is to the best of her knowledge and belief on file in the auditors office at Little Rock, Ark. They were made and sent to Little Rock when she enrolled in 1899. That she was 74 years old and very feeble.
This document has her X mark witness was M. Jones. Taken 15 July 1902. M. Jones Co. Clerk
There was an affidavit attached given by L. J. Maddox and Zada Jackson, personally acquainted with the widow and know her to be the widow of Jeffries Beck, deceased. He was a confederate Soldier. Signed L. J. Maddox and Zada Jackson.

Correct me if I am misinformed, Alabama 9th Reg't organized 12 July 1861? Commanded by Gen. Geo. B. McClellan?

J. Beck would have a son John Wesley Beck enrolled probably same 9th Co. C. I assume because the census shows one child a daughter born in Alabama. The rest in Georgia.
Also Andrew J. Beck the oldest son disappears from my records after 1861. He married March 27, 1861 and the birth year for the first child, a son named Jeffrey Beck was 1861.
There is no trace of him on the later census of Georgia except the 1880 Georgia census where his wife is living with her mother Roper.

It would appear that John Wesley Beck, Andrew J. Beck and the father Jeffries Beck were in the 9th Co. C Reg't of Alabama.

If you have read this far, thank you. Would you check the index of the mentioned book for these three men?
