"Past and Present of Mercer County" Vol. II 1914 pg. 469 entry for WILLIAM H. DIXON (son-in-law of Hubbard Beach)
Mr. Dixon married Miss Mary Jeannette Beach, whose birth occurred near New Haven, Connecticut, May 28, 1838. Her parents were Hubbard and Hannah (Stannard) Beach, the former a native of Connecticut and the latter of Massachusetts. Her maternal grandfather was a soldier in the Revolution and her father served in the War of 1812. The latter came to New Boston in 1846, when his daughter Mary was about eight years of age. They drove through from Chicago and Mrs. Dixon can still remember some of the incidents of the journey. Mr. Beach followed his trade, which was that of a house painter, until 1849, when he returned east, as the family was greatly desirous of once-more seeing familiar places. In 1852 he received land warrants in return for his service in the War of 1812, and came again to this county, taking up his land here. He passed away October 7, 1855, but his widow survived him for several years, her death occurring on the 3d of February, 1864. They were both members of the Baptist church and much interested in its progress.
Many BEACH research sites have Hubbard's first name as "Benjamin Hubbard". It appears that he went by Hubbard in his later years. Illionis Land Records record his name as Benjamin H. Beach in 1853.
