Peyton Graves Beauchamp
Collinsville, Texas

William Lewis Beauchamp, my great-grandfather, and Peyton Graves Beauchamp were sons of Sabird O. Beauchamp. No picture is known to exist of Sabird or his wife. 

Some military papers list him as "Paden", but it is "Peyton".  

P. G. Beauchamp owned two parcels of land at the edge of town. My great-grandfather, William, and his family lived on one of the two properties shown on the plat as well as their father Sabird O. Beauchamp.

P.G. and Becky Beauchamp had no children.  The old black & white picture of the church window below is from the Methodist Church in Collinsville.  They must have been a well liked pair to have been called "Aunt" and "Uncle" in the window.  

A Beauchamp family reunion was held in 1989 and, when visiting the Methodist Church, the window was still there."
