Documentation:
*Isaac's parents Proven through DNA testing in 2016.
July 2011 Questions: In May of 2010 new information surfaced that has caused many questions concerning the parentage of Isaac Beeler. Upon further research, I have found no new data that proves the parentage of Isaac Beeler. However, there are those on the internet who have now listed him as the son of John Valentine Beeler and Mary Turney Beeler. Some have even changed his birth date to 1775 to make him fit into the family of John Valentine Beeler and Mary Turney Beeler. When questioned as to how they came to this conclusion, no one could produce documentation that Isaac Beeler born 1783 is the son of John Valentine Beeler and Mary Turney Beeler. Several researchers list an Isaac Beeler born 1775 as the son of this couple. Several other researchers do not list an Isaac in this family. This couple is of an age where they could be the parents of Isaac Beeler born 1783. However, the will of John Valentine Beeler which someone abstracted, does not list an Isaac as son. I have not, as yet, obtained a copy of the original document. One person even stated, 'they had found thirteen incidents on the internet, where Isaac Beeler is listed as the son of John Valentine Beeler and Mary Turney Beeler so it must be true'. They could not produce any documentation showing proof of parentage though. Another person who had placed the information on the internet removed it when I sent the documentation I had on Isaac Beeler born 1783 and requested his documentation proving parentage of Isaac Beeler born 1783. The placement of data on the internet does not prove who the parents of Isaac Beeler are. Until a document is produced stating he is their son, one can not say it is a fact. This is a work in progress. I continue to search for the parents of Isaac Beeler. Since 1992, I have researched Isaac Beeler and his descendants and I look forward to discovering proof of his parentage. If you are researching this line and are aware of the location of documents that prove the parentage of Isaac Beeler please contact me.
Until then I remain "IN PURSUIT OF ISAAC BEELER".

Disclaimer:
There are those who feel Jane Hughes Beeler is the daughter of Thomas Hughes and Martha Dinsmore. However, there is no documented proof that she is their daughter. There is a listing for a Jean Hughes as their daughter with the same date and place of birth as Jane Hughes Beeler. It must be proven that she is their daughter... a matching date and place of birth without documented proof does not make her their daughter. I suspect she could be their daughter, but I have not been able to establish documented proof of my theory. If you have a Bible record, probate or will for Thomas or Martha Dinsmore Hughes that lists a Jane Beeler as their daughter please contact me. Thank you.

Notes:
* Dates of death for Sarah and Isaac Beeler, Jr. were obtained in depositions concerning the estate of Isaac Beeler.
* Molly Beeler was listed by, Robert McKeehan, another Beeler researcher. However, he did not list a source for Molly Beeler and when I went through his research materials I could not find documentation for Molly. However, other sources say Jane Hughes Beeler bore 11 children. Robert Mc Keehan was a very thorough researcher. Every item he listed on Isaac Beeler's family has been rechecked and documented by myself. Unfortunately, Robert passed away before I began researching the Beeler line. I feel Molly must not have lived to reach adulthood, as she is not mentioned in the list of siblings who were deceased and left no heirs, in the depositions concerning Isaac Beeler's estate.
