    • Referring back to Samuel Back, the third son of John Beck, of Lisburn and Downpatrick, it will have been oted from a record quoted that in 1725, he was engaged as a linen merchant in Lisburn. Later he purchased a far at Ballynaris, Dromore, dying about 1760. His line was continued by three sons, John of Ballynaris, Robert of Quilly, and Samuel of Ballysallagh. His branch was not prolific, the Census Records of 1821 and 1841 only detailing the two families at Quilly and Ballysallagh. The Parish Register of Dromore includes in a few entries most information necessary for tracing lines of descent, and in the Churchyard headstones mark, only the graves of Samuel Beck of Ballysallagh, 1725-1794, John Beck, of Ballysallagh, 1756-1840, and Robert Beck, of Quilly, 1758-1823. A member of this branch is still resident of Ballysallagh, and half a century ago a further family at Annaghmoon could claim descent from Samuel Beck, of Ballynaris. The following note relative to a grandson of the founder is of particular interest. John Beck, born at Ballynaris about 1760, press-ganged while in Belfast on a business visit, served ten years with Royal Navy, returned to Dromore in 1792 with considerable amount in prize money, disappeared with his wife at Newcastle, Co. Down, in 1793; two skeletons found in 1901 during demolition of the house in which they were supposed to have lodged during the visit.
