None of those I wrote to you about are my direct ancestors, but it's a fascinating family and I have built quite a large database (234 Beasleys) Sarah Beasley, daughter of John and Esther, was baptized April 16 1758 in Harbury. She married in Harbury 26 November 1783. William Bass was born about 1758 in Bishops Itchington and died there age 86 July 1845. Their children were mostly born in Bishops Itchington. Mary Beasley, daughter of Henry and Elizabeth, was baptized privately September 13, 1778, and baptized publicly January 25, 1779 in Harbury. She married John Randall January 25, 1803 in Harbury. His residence was Bishops Itchington. The John I have attached to Rose Cottage is the son of Henry and Elizabeth, baptized October 19 1775 in Harbury. His wife was Frances. I have no idea why he would have a daughter named Mitchill.His known children are William,Frances Sarah Eliza, Harriet, Thomas and Bethel.Bethel was born in 1809 so perhaps his wife died young and he had a relationship with a Mitchell, but didn't marry her. I hope this helps. I would be interested to learn more about your family. I have come across Job as a Beasley name when doing research. My earliest confirmed Beasley is Henry, wife Ann, to whom somebody was apprenticed in Harbury in 1729, he a tailor. Val.
