Father*Rockmore Wallis3 b. 1805
Mother*Mary McFadden3,2 b. 1806
Birth*1840Elizabeth J. Wallis was born about 1840 in Missouri.3,2 
(Daughter) Census US 18507 September 1850Elizabeth was enumerated on the 1850 census taken on 7 September 1850 in the household of her parents in District 101, Wayne County, Missouri. She was 9 years old and had not attended school within the census year.3 
Marriage*19 February 1860She married, as his second wife, William Marlow on 19 February 1860 in Iron County, Missouri.4,1 
Census US 1860*16 July 1860Elizabeth and William Marlow were enumerated on the 1860 census taken on 16 July 1860 in Union Township, Iron County, Missouri. William was reported to be 38 years of age and a farmer with a personal estate valued at $300, and Elizabeth was 19 years old. They had been married within the census year, and William's four daughters from his first marriage were enumerated with the couple in 1860. Sarah J. and Nancy S. were ages 14 and 12 years, respectively, and had both attended school within the census year; and Margaret and Mary T. were ages 8 and 6 years, and had not yet started school.5 
Census US 187027 June 1870The household of Elizabeth and William Marlow was enumerated twice on the 1870 census taken first on 27 June 1870 in Township 35, Range 2 East, Iron County, Missouri. Their second enumeration was the following day in Township 31, Range 3 East, also in Iron County. The family may have been in the process of moving, and we suspect the person interviewed different, because the information recorded about the family members differs slightly between the two census records. On the earlier census taken in Township 35, William was 50 years of age, worked on a farm and had real estate valued at $100 and a personal estate valued at $500, and Elizabeth was 30 years of age and keeping house. Their three children were enumerated with them in 1870. Cincinnati was 8 years old; John A. was age 7 and William S. was 1 year old. The occupations for all three were recorded as "at home". Elizabeth's mother, Mary (McFadden) Wallis, also resided with the family in 1870. She was 66 years of age and also at home.6 
Census US 1870*28 June 1870The second enumeration of the household of Elizabeth J. and William Marlow for the 1870 census was taken on 28 June 1870 in Township 31, Range 3 East, Iron County, Missouri. William was 48 years of age and a farm laborer with a personal estate valued at $150, and Elizabeth was 30 years of age and keeping house. They could neither read nor write and were enumerated with their three children. Cincinnati was 9 years old, at home, and had attended school within the census year; and John A. and Billy were ages 7 and 2 years, respectively, at home, and not yet attending school. Also residing with the family in 1870 was Elizabeth's mother, Mary Wallis, who was reported as 66 years of age and at home. She, too, could neither read nor write. Elizabeth's brother, John Wallis, was enumerated with his wife and two young daughters in the previous household on the same census page.2 
Death*before 19 August 1873She died at about 30 years of age before 19 August 1873, the date her husband married his third wife. Elizabeth left her husband with three children under the age of 10 years.7

(Son-in-Law) Murder12 April 1884His father-in-law, Burr Beebe, shot and killed his neighbor, Norris A. Phillips, on 12 April 1884 in Cedarville, Modoc County, California. After his father-in-law's conviction of the crime, David's wife, Emma, Burr Beebe's eldest daughter, reported to the prosecution that she had heard a conversation between her father (Burr Beebe) and her uncle (Erastus Beebe) in which her uncle advised her father to kill Phillips and get him out of the way, making it seem that while Burr Beebe was to do the killing, Erastus Beebe was the real instigator. Both men ended up being tried for the murder, and David's father-in-law's trial was first. The prosecuting attorney gave a report to the newspaper after his preliminary examination regarding the killing. He outlined for the paper the following facts that had been brought forward during his examination:

Burr Beebe and Phillips were neighbors living in a section where there were no county roads, but where neighborhood roads were made to run across the ranches for the convenience of the farmers who were compelled to pass in and out of the neighborhood.

The Phillips ranch was all sown to grain, while on Beebe's ranch there was only a small patch of ground under cultivation, the remainder being sagebrush or pasture land.

For that reason it was presumed that the neighborhood road was made to run across Beebe's land.

It seemed that Beebe became tired of that arrangement and went and staked out a new road, using for stakes some light thin stuff known as edgings, and at the same time plowed up a small patch of ground, probably two or three rods in width, across the road and just inside the gate which led into his field.

On the morning of the killing, Phillips had to go to a neighbors and, mounting his horse, took the accustomed road and rode over the newly plowed piece of ground.

While he was gone, Beebe instructed his hired man to go and build a fence across the road to stop the travel in that direction.

The hired man stated that he did as directed and built two panels of fence across the road in front of the gate.

After a while Phillips came back on his way home and upon arriving at the newly made fence dismounted, tore the fence down, and passed on through.

Beebe and his two brothers, Erastus Beebe, who was called Ras, and George were watching him from the house and seeing it happening, immediately mounted their horses and started for Phillips at a fast speed, taking a by-path to interrupt him.

Ras Beebe, who was riding the faster horse, overtook Phillips first and the two dismounted from their horses and were quarreling when Burr and George came up.

A report of a pistol was heard and Phillips dropped dead in his tracks.

The prosecutor said that the Beebes stated in their testimony that as soon as they came up, Phillips seized one of the light sticks that had been used as a road stake, and attempted to hit Burr with it, whereupon the fatal shot was fired. However, they also admitted in their testimony that Burr's horse had scarcely stopped running when the fatal shot was fired which, according to the prosecutor, would seem to indicate that Burr came up with pistol in hand and ready to shoot. The prosecutor also said, that in his neighborhood, Burr was considered the "boss" pistol shot and, like the famous James brothers, could send a bullet about where he wanted it. Mrs. Fannie Phillips, the wife of the deceased, was standing in her door, about 40 yards distant, and saw the whole transaction. She said Phillips did not seize a stick, and made no attempt whatever to strike Beebe, and like the Beebes said, the pistol was fired the very instant that Burr came up to the spot where Ras and Phillips were standing. Mrs. Phillips' testimony was corroborated by that of a girl who was staying with her.

The prosecutor said that Beebe’s preliminary examination had been conducted before Justice Long and resulted in Beebe being held to answer to the charge of murder, and on Friday, April 25, was lodged in the County Jail to await his trial.

The argument in the case of the People vs. Burr Beebe was concluded about 5:30 o'clock on Friday, July 25, and by 6:00 o'clock the jury had received its instructions from the Court. In less than one hour's time it was announced that a verdict had been reached, and the Court was reconvened. The verdict of "Guilty of Murder in the First Degree" was announced, and the penalty fixed by the jury was imprisonment for life in the State Prison. One newspaper reported that the prisoner received the verdict with a look of stolid indifference. Another paper reported that Beebe had introduced a plea of self-defense and escaped the gallows.

Less than two months after Burr’s conviction, his brother, Erastus Beebe, was on trial in Superior Court for complicity in the same murder of Norris A. Phillips. After eight days, his trial ended on Monday, September 8, and the newspaper reported the evidence presented varied little from that taken at the trial of Burr Beebe, who had done the killing. Burr had been found guilty of murder in the first degree the previous July and was at that time serving a sentence of hard labor in the State Prison for the remainder of his natural life.

The only new evidence introduced was that of Emma S. (Beebe) Walls, who was identified as Mrs. David Walls, a daughter of Burr Beebe. She testified that she had heard a conversation between her father (Burr Beebe) and her uncle (Erastus Beebe]) in which her uncle advised her father to kill Phillips and get him out of the way, making it seem that while Burr Beebe was to do the killing, Erastus Beebe was the real instigator of the crime.

The argument was concluded at 5 o'clock on Monday afternoon and the case was submitted to the jury. Three hours later, the jury returned with a verdict of "Murder in the First Degree" with the recommendation that the defendant be imprisoned in the State Prison for life. When the verdict was announced, Erastus stood for a moment transfixed and then fainted away. He revived in a short time and the Court ordered him to appear for sentencing at 10 o'clock the following morning. When the time arrived, however, Beebe was too ill to appear in Court, and the time for pronouncing judgement was deferred until Thursday, September 18. The paper wrote that his health had been deteriorating since his incarceration in the county jail, and it seemed to be the prevailing opinion that his term of imprisonment would be a short one, as it was plain to be seen that his days on earth were numbered.3,4,5,6,7,8,9 
Death*10 February 1906He died on 10 February 1906 in Cedarville, Modoc County, California, at about age 771 
Burial* and was buried in Old Cemetery I, Lot 25, of Cedarville Cemetery, Cedarville.1

b. 1803
Family
Birth*1803Ruth Walls was born about 1803 in Kentucky.2 
Marriage*20 March 1820She married Joseph Belcher, son of John T. Belcher Sr. and Martha Johnston, on 20 March 1820 in Orange County, Indiana.1,3 
(Wife) Census US 18301830Ruth was likely enumerated on the 1830 census in the household of her husband, Joseph Belcher, in Crawford County, Illinois. His household included seven individuals consisting of three males and four females. The males were recorded as one male under the age of 5 years, one male between the ages of 5 thru 9 years, and one male between the ages of 30 thru 39 years. The females were recorded as one female under the age of 5 years, two females between the ages of 5 thru 9 years, and one female between the ages of 20 thru 29 years. Joseph would have been the male between the ages of 30 thru 39 years and we believe his wife, Ruth (Walls) Belcher, would have been the female between the ages of 20 and 29 years. Two of the five children would have been their son, John, who was about 5 years old in 1830, and daughter, Celia, who was probably about 3 years old in 1830. We have been unable to identify the other three children enumerated with the couple on the census.4 
(3rd Daughter-in-Law) Land Records1 August 1839After her father-in-law's death, Ruth's husband and his four brothers, the five sons of John T. Belcher Sr., inherited equal parts of a specific tract or parcel of land consisting of 80 acres in Orange County, Indiana that their father had owned at the time of his death. Subsequently, each of his four oldest sons sold his inherited share in that land, which would have amounted to about 16 acres each, to their youngest brother. A deed dated 1 August 1839 in Orange County, Indiana, described the transaction, and we note that the description of the 80 acres of land in the deed is not the same as the description of the 80 acres of land their father purchased in 1837 as a Land Patent from the United States Federal Government. Our transcription of the deed follows:

This indenture made 1 August 1839 between James Belcher and Nancy Belcher his wife and Jesse Belcher and Sarah Belcher his wife and Joseph Belcher and Ruth Belcher his wife and Berry Belcher and Mary Belcher his wife, heirs of John T. Belcher Sr., late of Orange County, deceased, each of the County of Orange and State of Indiana, of the one part, and John Belcher Jr. of the County and State aforesaid, of the other part, Witnesseth that the said James Belcher and Jesse Belcher and Joseph Belcher and Berry Belcher, for and in consideration of the sum of $88.89 to them in had paid by the said John Belcher Jr., the receipt whereof they do hereby acknowledge, hath granted, bargained, sold, conveyed and confirmed and doth by these presents grant, bargain, sell, convey and confirm unto the said John Belcher Jr., his heirs and assigns forever, their part of a certain tract or parcel of land in the County of Orange aforesaid, it being the west half of the North west quarter of Section No. 25 in Township No. 1 South of Range No. 2 west, estimated to contain 80 acres, be the same more or less, together with all the appurtenances thereunto belonging, and the reversions, remainders and profits thereof, and all the estate, title and interest of the said James Belcher and Jesse Belcher and Joseph Belcher and Berry Belcher in and to their part of the 80 acres aforesaid, to have and to hold the premises aforesaid, with all the appurtenances, to the only proper use, benefit and behoof of the said John Belcher Jr., his heirs and assigns forever, and the said James Belcher and Jesse Belcher and Joseph Belcher and Berry Belcher for themselves, their heirs, executors and administrators doth covenant and agree to and with the said John Belcher Jr., his heirs and assigns, that they, the said James Belcher, Jesse Belcher, Joseph Belcher and Berry Belcher, is lawfully seized in fee of the premises aforesaid, that they are free from all incumbrance and that they have good right to sell and convey the same in manner and form aforesaid, and further that they and their heirs, executors and administrators shall and will warrant and defend the said premises to the said John Belcher Jr., his heirs and assigns, against the lawful claims of themselves and their heirs and also against the lawful claim or claims of all and every other person or persons whatsoever, and the said Nancy Belcher, the wife of the said James Belcher, and Sarah Belcher, the wife of the said Jesse Belcher, and Ruth Belcher, the wife of the said Joseph Belcher, and Mary Belcher, the wife of the said Berry Belcher, doth hereby relinquish all their right and title of dower of and in the premises aforesaid.

Jonathan Palmer, J.P. signed and sealed his name to the document on 1 August 1839, and the indenture was filed on 8 September 1839 and recorded on 14 September 1839 in Orange County, Indiana.5,6
 
(Wife) Census US 18401840Ruth was likely enumerated on the 1840 census in the household of her husband, Joseph Belcher, in Jersey County, Illinois. His household consisted of eight people, five males and three females. The males were recorded as one male under the age of 5 years; one male between the ages of 10 thru 14 years; one male between the ages of 15 thru 19 years; one male between the ages of 20 thru 29 years; and one male between the ages of 30 thru 39. The three females were recorded as one female between the ages of 10 thru 14 years; one female between the ages of 15 thru 19 years; and one female between the ages of 30 thru 39 years. Two members of the household over the age of 20 years, one of which we believe was Joseph's wife, Ruth (Walls) Belcher, were unable to read and write. The couple's first-born son, John Wesley Belcher, would have been the male between the ages of 15 thru 19 years; their older daughter, Celia, would have been the female between the ages of 10 thru 14 years; and the couple's baby son, Joseph, would have been the male under the age of 5 years. From the 1850 census, we learned that Joseph and Ruth periodically housed members of their extended family, farm laborers, and probably household help as well, and we are at a loss to even attempt to identify the other two male and one female members of the Belcher household in 1840.7 
Census US 1850*15 November 1850Ruth and Joseph Belcher were enumerated on the 1850 census taken on 15 November 1850 in Point, Calhoun County, Illinois. Joseph was 48 years of age and a farmer with real estate valued at $2,400, and Ruth was age 47 and unable to read or write. They were enumerated with three of their children. John W. was 25 years of age and working as a farmer; Joseph S. was 11 years old; and Emily was age 10. Joseph and Emily had both attended school within the census year. Two additional members of the extended Belcher family, nephews Moses J. Belcher and William H. Belcher, were enumerated in Joseph and Ruth's household in 1850. They were both working with their cousin John and Uncle Joseph as farmers. Moses, whose mother had died and his father remarried, was 23 years of age and the son of Joseph's brother, Berry, and William, who was 25 years of age, is believed to have been the son of Joseph's older brother, James, who had died in 1842. Joseph and Ruth's older daughter, Celia, had married and was enumerated in 1850 with her husband and daughter three households after her parents on the same census page. Two additional individuals were enumerated in the Belcher household in 1850. Henry and Alexander Travis, ages 20 and 18 years, respectively, were both born in Ohio, were probably brothers, and both worked as laborers.2,8 
(Mother-in-Law) Census US 185015 November 1850Ruth was enumerated on the 15 November 1850 census in the household of her son and daughter-in-law, Celia and Herman Page in Point, Calhoun County, Illinois. Herman was 29 years of age and a farmer with real estate valued at $200, and Celia was 23 years of age and unable to read or write. They were enumerated with their daughter, Elizabeth, who was 4 years old. Celia's parents, Ruth and Joseph Belcher, with their other children and extended family, were enumerated in 1850 three households above Herman and Ceclia's on the same census page.9,8 
(Wife) Death8 April 1853Ruth became a widow when Joseph Belcher died on 8 April 1853 at age 51.3 
Census US 1860*11 August 1860Ruth Belcher was enumerated as the head of her household on the 1860 census taken on 11 August 1860 in Otter Creek, Jersey County, Illinois. She was 57 years of age and had attended school within the census year. Her two unmarried children, Joseph and Emily, ages 20 and 19 years, respectively, were enumerated with her. Also residing in Ruth's household in 1860 was George Broadhead, who was 26 years of age and had been born in New Jersey.10

Abraham was 43 years of age and a surveyor, and Mary was 36 years of age. They owned their farm with a mortgage, had been married for 19 years, and Mary had given birth to six children, all of whom were living and enumerated with their parents in 1900. Albert H. was 16 years old and worked on the family farm; Caroline M. was 14 years old and worked as a dress maker; Elizabeth was 13 years old and worked as a servant; Theodore was 9; Franklin W 5; and Ella R. was one year old.

Albert was 27 years of age and worked as a ranch laborer; Theodore was 20 years old and a student attending school; Frank was 15 years old; Ella was 11 years old and enumerated as "Rebie", which may have been a short form of her middle name Rebecca, or an error by the census taker; Horace was 9 years old; and Harold 7. In addition to Theodore, who likely was a higher-level student, his four younger siblings had all attended school within the census year. Also residing with the Hogeland family in 1910 was the couple's niece, Gertrude Yerkes, whose mother was Abraham's sister. Gertrude was 24 years of age and worked as a teacher in a public school.4
