      ii. Sanford Beazley was born March 24, 1783.
      iii. Nancy Beazley was born in Orange Co., Virginia May 11, 1786. It is possible that Nancy Beazley married Tandy Collins. According to Orange County, Virginia marriage records, he married a daughter of James Beazley named Ann. The only known Ann was the daughter of James and Ann Beazley, and her age was not correct. The 1820 census indicates that the wife of Tandy was born in 1775-1785. Nancy is the only daughter that was born in this time period.
