I have been researching this line for some time. Now is the Thomas listed in the will Thomas Wesley Beasley, b 1824, or his father? I have the father's wife's name as Mary A. (From the 1820 Census). I was making a list of Culpeper county resources to research just last week, including wills, land deeds, etc. So you've beaten me to the punch, which is great! Have you transcribed the entire will? Can you send it to me? And if you would like to publish your ancestry making it easier for other researchers to find you, I'd love to add your data to the Beasley database, giving you due credit of course. You can send me a GEDCOM file and I'll add it. And thanks for the nice remarks about the web site. I probably spend too much time on it.

I don't know what age Thomas would be - I've not been able to find out much information on this particular family yet (I just started working on this line) - but theoretically he could indeed be the right age to father your Thomas Beasley.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Beasley, Pitt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/plC.2ACEB/230.232.450.499.1.2 Message Board Post: There is a story in some branches of the Beasley family that they descend from an illegitimate child fathered by William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham (1708-1778), statesman of England. Lord Pitt supposedly sent the Beasley girl to the Colonies. This could be true for some lines, but with the information available at this time, this child could not be the father of the John Pitts Beasley. The story Leonard heard was that Ann became pregnant and was sent to the Colonies. She eventually married, but the child became Pitt or Pitts Beasley. In Amelia Co., Virginia, Will Book 2:7, is the will of Richard Beasley, dated 9 April 1770, proven 26 September 1771. In this will Richard names his Wife Ann, and his Son Ambros Beasley, "by som people called Ambros Pitts," and his three children named Richard Beasley, Junr., William Beasley, and Ann Beasley. Now perhaps there is a possibility that this William could be the father of our John Pitts Beasley, but with the wording of the will of Richard it would make you wonder if he was old enough to be married and already have a family. If Chatham was at least 18-20 years old, this would have made the child born about 1726-1728. If this child was the father of John Pitts Beasley, born at least by 1740, he would have been 12-14 years old at the time. The confusion and belief that it could be is probably due to the fact that the name Pitts has been used in some branches of our line of Beasleys for many many years. Our John Pitts Beasley, who was married to Elizabeth, and also who died in Warren Co., North Carolina, purchased land in Virginia on 10 March 1761. Part of this 198.75 acres was in Amelia County and part of it was in Prince Edward County where the deed was filed in Deed Book 2:58. John Pitts Beasley had to be at least 21 years old to purchase land, and therefore he would have been born at least by 1740. Several genealogist have attempted to prove the parentage of John Pitts Beasley without success. There is a Beasley family in Essex Co., Virginia which lived near a Pitts family. Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Essex Co., 1711-1714, by Beverly Fleet: John Pitts owned land in St. Anne's Parish, adjoining William Brown, 30 March 1713 (page 79). William Beasley owned land in St. Anne's Parish adjoining William Brown, 30 March 1713 (page 80). Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Essex Co., Wills and Deeds, 1714-1717, by Beverly Fleet : Deed of Martin Willard, Essex Co., 3 Dec. 1715, to Silverster Pitt of same, adjoining William Beasley, John Pitts was a witness (page 43). Deed Book 9:423. John Hudson, planter, St. Anne's Parish, sold to William Peatross land adjoining William Pitts, 18 July 1715 (page 21). William Beasley left a will dated, 21 January 1718, and presented in court 17 November 1719. He names his wife Mary, as executrix. The following children were named in the will: eldest son, William [II], 50 acres of land adjoining to the plantation where he now lives. After his decease, to his eldest son William [III]; son, Benjamin, 40 acres of land adjoining to the plantation where he now lives, and also all the land I have on that side of the branch next to John Pitts; son, Henry, 50 acres of land lying next to my son Benjamin; son, John, 50 acres of land lying next to my son Henry's land; all the remaining part of my land to my son, Charles. John Pitts left a will in St. Anne's Parish, Essex Co., dated 23 January 1728, naming his wife, Elizabeth, and his grandson, John Pitts, the son of his son David Pitts, as heir to the land adjoining William Beasley. Richard Beasley was born about 1708 and married November 1728 to Ann "Pitts." She is the one who had a bastard child that might have been fathered by Lord Pitts of England. This child, Ambros, would have been born before November 1728. Richard and Ann had no children of their own to survive them (this is apparent from the will). Richard may have been related to our John Pitts Beasley, but that has yet to be established. The probability that they were related is very strong. A Colonial Beasley Family 1. William Beasley I, the emigrant, wrote his will found in Essex Co., Virginia, 21 Jan. 1718, and presented in court 17 Nov. 1719. In his will he named his wife Mary, who was executrix, and children: To my eldest son, William [II], 50 acres of land adjoining to the plantation where he now lives. After his decease, to his eldest son William [III]. This William [II] would have been at least 21 years old or older, to already have a son of his own [William III]; To my son Benjamin, 40 acres of land adjoining to the plantation where he now lives, and also all the land I have on that side of the branch next to John Pitts; To my son Henry, 50 acres of land lying next to my son Benjamin; To my son John, 50 acres of land lying next to my son Henry's land; All the remaining part of my land to my son, Charles. In studying these children remember that they had to be at least 16 years old to take possession of land holdings, and at least 21 years old to own land. We do not know if William I had given plantations to William II and Benjamin already, and those were the ones they were living on. The will does make reference to land adjoining the plantations they were then living on. Based on an estimated birth year of 1708 for Richard, and allowing two years between children, William III might have been born about 1706. If William II was at least 20 years old when his son was born he might have been born in 1686. + 2. William II was already married or at least had a child, William III mentioned in the will of William I. So lets say he was born about 1686, which would make him age 33 when this will was written. 3. Benjamin may have been born about 1688, which would make him age 31. 4. Henry may have been born about 1690, which would make him age 29. 5. John may have been born about 1692, which would make him age 27. 6. Charles may have been born about 1694, which would make him age 25. Any of these could have been the ancestor of our John Pitts Beasley. The following references are interesting as they show a connection to the John Pitts family and the William Beasley family. Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Essex County, 1711-1714, by Beverly Fleet. John Pitts owned land in St. Anne's Parish, adjoining William Brown, 30 March 1713 (page 79) William Beasley owned land in St. Anne's Parish adjoining William Brown, 30 March 1713 (page 80) Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Essex County, Wills and Deeds 1714-17.

NOTICE there is not a John listed among the children of Ambros Beasley. The John Pitts Beasley Family Whether the John Pitts Beasley branch of the family descended from Lord Pitt of England is based entirely on information suppose to have been from William Thomas Beasley (b.1875). Where it seems feasible that the descendants of Richard Beasley were perhaps descendants of Lord Pitt of England, it does not seem feasible that the descendants of John Pitts Beasley were. William Thomas Beasley, born in 1875 (son of Austin Hickman Beasley, grandson of Wiley Ellis Beasley, great grandson of John Pitts Beasley and his wife Lucy (Ellis) Beasley, great great grandson of John Pitts Beasley) wrote letters from Franklin, Tennessee in 1950 and 1951, "Cousin Etta" and Albert Tucker Beasley. The first letter to Etta contained several errors which he corrected in the letter to Albert. The following is a typescript of a xerox copy of the letter which Ann Beasley (daughter of Albert) provided Janice Sanders Carver and she reproduced it in her book, Climbing Zachariah's Tree; A Genealogy of My Beasley Ancestors (Memphis: Peerless Printing Co., Inc., Oct. 1988): Franklin Tenn. March 18, 1951 Mr. Albert Tucker Beasley, Franklin, Tenn. Dear Sir and Cousin, Just a few words in regard to our fore fathers. Since I was talking to cousin Etta about our kinsmen, I have been looking into the subject to be certain about just who they were. I have found that I made a little mistake and Now is the time to correct it. Instead of being Barney Beasley, our great grandfather, it was John Pitt Beasley, who was born May 18, 1776 and died Nov. 5, 1848. He was the father of our grandfather, Wiley E. Beasley, who was born Oct. 12, 1803 and died April 3, 1872. Our great uncles were John Pitt Beasley, Barney Beasley, William Beasley and Berry Beasley. Our great uncle William Beasley born Aug. 4, 1825 and died Nov. 28, 1897. Before he died in 1897, he told me that he wanted to tell me one thing not to forget, that our great great grandfather was William Pitt of England. I got this information out of our great uncle's bible. -William Thomas Beasley Leonard J. McCown has not seen the original typed letter from William Thomas Beasley. However, William Thomas Beasley does make reference to his great uncle William's Bible. Leonard has seen this Bible (published in 1875), and has xerox copies of the family register it contains. This Bible was owned by Mrs. J. Dobson Johnson of Franklin, Tennessee in July 1980 when he saw it and made xerox copies of the family register. Mrs. Johnson was the former Sarah Anna Beasley, daughter of William James Beasley, and granddaughter of William Beasley and his second wife, Mary T. White. Mrs. Johnson died 16 April 1991. While it does contain the birth and death records of his parents, various records of William's brothers and sisters, and his own family, it contained nothing concerning the family being a descended from Lord Pitt of England. Mrs. Johnson also had a handwritten letter, which Leonard believes she kept in the Bible, from "Uncle John" written from 5967 Corona Avenue, Huntington Park, California, September 20, 1938. He tells about the Beasley family beginning with John P. Beasley and his wife Lucy. "Uncle John" was John Wiley Berry Beasley, born 17 February 1860 near Linden, Perry Co., Tennessee, and was the son of William Beasley and his 2nd wife, Mary T. White. Again he makes no references to the family being descended from Lord Pitt of England. William Beasley was the son of John Pitts Beasley and his wife Lucy (Ellis) Beasley. Leonard is not sure where William came up with this story or idea, if he did. Perhaps he did research or had some research done and the will of Richard Beasley was found. This story could have easily have grown out of this will because of the use of the name Pitts. However, Leonard does not see how our John Pitts Beasley could have been the son of William Pitt of England. This are my thoughts on this...please see how you can work it out.

He served as a spy to watch the movements of the savages across the river. When he came to Union Township, he possessed but few worldly goods. He purchased the farm his son Jeptha, now occupies in the Northeastern part of the Township, and for a number of years engaged in farming and boating. He then removed to Ripley, and was the village inn-keeper for awhile, but, tiring of this life, he returned again to the farm. He was Justice of the Peace for many years, and County Commissioner. His children were Sally, William, John, Elizabeth, Levi, Jeptha and Nancy. ----------------- Politics page # 439: My wording: Old Township record book datres back to March 7, 1825 is a meeting of Township Trustees in which were present Jeptha Beasley, among others. ---------------- --------------- This book has biographical sketches and pictures. I only have a very few pages so please do not ask me for copies. I do not have them. I will; however, check the index for anyone asking, hoping I am not deluged! :-) ============ Another book, which I have a few pages of, and will relay next time, contains a map of Brown Co. showing Ripley is very near the Ohio River (boating in above paragraph). It also contains an Index of surnames. Jeptha Beasley is listed here also. This book is located in the Library of Wooster, OH, NOT Canton. ============= This book copy pages were sent to me from my good friend in Ohio and I wish to thank her now for her great job. Thanks, Shirley. Hope this helps Wilma! Regards, Ruth in CA
