Excerpt from History of Daniel and Katherine Beck (Pioneer Settlers of Warriors Mark Valley) And Their DescendantsThere are a great many Becks living in Philadelphia. In the State of Pennsylvania, there are six registered doctors, none of whom are re lated to our line. There are many Becks in Bellefonte, Lock Haven and Williamsport, Pennsylvania, none of whom are related. In Altoona, Penn sylvania, there are a great many Becks, but they came from Bavaria, Germany, and are of the Catholic faith. If'you are ever asked if you are related to some other Beck, a good answer would be, Our people were known first in France as French Protestants, belonging to the Dunkard or Mennonite Church, they then went to Switzerland, Holland and Ger~ many respectively, and were brought to this Country about 1733 by the Penns. It is good to remember that the Becks we are writing about were a type, a religious clan, who spoke the Dutch language, had the same character and disposition, and who s'taye'd together for more than two hundred years. If the name 'beck' does'not fit into this description, they are no relation of the first Daniel Beck who came to Warriorsmark Valley in 1768.The Becks have had one common trait that has come down all through their history to the present time, and that is the way in which they divided property before their death. For instance, one of the grand fathers in 1869, when not an old man and in good health, divided all his property among his seven children, selling his two farms to his two sons. Later on, those two sons divided their property in the same manner. These farms are still in the hands-of the Beck's after a period of one hundred thirty years and are in better condition and state of cultivation than ever. Thus, through the records of property division we learned much about the Beck history. The first deed we can find is for a piece of land containing 400 acres, dated 1803. This information was given by Daniel Beck, son of the first daniel beck.In listing the descendants of the various families, we wish to explain that there are many omissions, due to the fact that they cannot be traced and have entirely lost their identity so far as the Beck family goes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
