Ozias Beaman was the son of Francis Beaman Sr. and his wife Mary (maiden name unknown). Francis came down from Virginia by 1757. He and his family are mentioned in the Minutes of the Quaker Meeting House, Rich Square, Northampton Co., NC on April 7, 1764, and several times thereafter.

Ozias married Rebecca Colston Beaman and they had two children that lived: John Beaman, who married Colin or Colen Carraway, and Martha Beaman, who married George Theoliphus Draughon. George and Ozias' farms joined each other and they and their wives were buried on their farm. Over the decades and even centuries, their headstones have been broken up and hauled off. In 2008, Mr. Rufus Williams, who had owned the land for many years, told Larry Draughon that the old graves use to be next to where his barn then stood. The headstones of John and Colen Carraway Beaman were spared and a descendant took them and placed them in the Clinton City Cemetery, now the Springvale Cemetery.
