Aaron married Mary Dirkin, an Irish immagrant.They had nine children, six are alive today. All in their 70's. The youngest daughter is my mother.My gr-grandfather, Philip was an affluent Jew, that owned a cigar store on 5th Ave, NYC. He even sold cigars to Grant. When Aaron had to marry Mary, the chamber maid......well, both
families disowned them. That is why we have hardly any info on the Beekmans.
