Trying to trace birth and parentage of US Senator James Burnie Beck

He was born in Dumfriesshire on 13 February 1822. 

He immigrated to the United States in 1838 and lived in Wyoming, later moving to Lexington in Kentucky.  He graduated in 1843 at Transylvania University in Lexington and was a lawyer.  He was later a Democrat politician and served from 1867 to 1875. He was a US Senator in Kentucky from 1877 to 1890.

He had a brother William Burnie Beck and a sister Helen Beck.

He married Jane Augusta Washington Thornton who was a grandniece of President George Washington

He died on 3 May 1890 in Washington DC.

Any help or information appreciated.  Thanks!!!
