Most data on this family is from an article by Lowell Beachler on the families of John W. Eller and John C. Beckner on pages 11-14 of Vol. 22, No. 1, Spring 1990, Fellowship of Brethren Genealogists Newsletter. John C. and Elizabeth had two children, Henry and Nancy. I am not entering them at this time.

John moved from Virginia to North Hampton, Clark Co., Ohio in 1959, then to Virden, Macoupin Co., Illinois in 1864, and to Anderson Co., Kansas in 1888.
