Is it possible to get in contact with Holyhenry and Kiltaglassen about the family of John \Beck-Sarah Watson.
Holyhenry no as shows as guest on the initial post made in 2012 so they will not get a notification (and may have since joined the departed).
Kiltaglassen will no doubt be along shortly but was likely assisting in the hunt for records rather than being related to the Becks. So just type and she will see.

I foud this very interesting would anyone know the parents of John Beck 1797 and Sarah Watson 1797?
Records before 1800 tend not to be transcribed online if they survive, so when you get that far back have to consider what exists offline in PRONI or the church and perhaps combine with a trip.

In the early post you re-quoted it suggests the family attended Dromara Presbyterian.
RootsIreland transcripts commence 1816 but if consult https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/publications/guide-church-records you are fortunate that the Presbyterian baptism registers exist further back on microfilm there.
Baptisms, 1762-1959; marriages, 1799-1802, 1810-13 and 1817-1922.
Dromara Church of Ireland registers were however lost, destroyed 1922, PRO Dublin.

In case of interest a Samuel James Mussen Beck aged 73 died 26 April 1958, father-in-law of Robert Orr Douglas who married Mary (Minnie) Beck 1916–1996. I don't have further details, the Douglas's are a distant connection, but there is a public tree.
