Have you explored the Titus Beckwith married to Lizzie Howard line? Titus was born? In Lyme, Ct 30 Dec 1736, parents were Daniel Beckwith and Miriam Smith. Titus and Lizzie had the following children: Wheeler Daniel Rufus Titus died in 1802 at Chelsea, NY., but Paul Beckwith's book states that son Rufus was born in Chelsea NH. not NY. Titus and Lizzie's son Daniel would be close to your Daniel in age. -----Original Message----- From: slwmjc@aol.com To: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com; beckwith@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 14 Dec 2008 12:11 pm Subject: Re: [BECKWITH] Beckwith book?

His first known Grandfather, Sir Hugh de Malebiss was given a hamlet by William the Conqueror, for is loyalty at the Battle of Hastings. His Great Grandson Sir Hercules de Malebiss married Lady Dame Bruce whose family gave the couple land. "Land by a Brook" Brook = Beck Land = worth/with. Our name derives from Beckwithshaw, England in Yorkshire, England. We were related to the warlords, the Percys, the Bruce family. We succeed in the American Revolution because we learned to fight like the Indians. My son is now a veteran, who had action with Warlords in the mountains. Peace!

If you read the story of Roger's Rangers they fought with us in the French and Indian War, but they did not take sides with us in the Revolution, only the Navy of France sided with us, because of their dislike for the English. One of my Uncles "Elijah" left for Canada because he sided with the English. I will check out Noble and get back to you.

I now have it on my favorites. Matthew Beckwith came to America (I believe) around 1635. The reason why he came to America was to make money. He ventured with 2 other men in building a Barque that sailed to Barbadoes for sugar, to make rum. It meant that slaves were in the equation, but he did not own a slave. The Beckwith women were devout Christians, but the Beckwith men were Merchants, Defenders of the Colony serving in the Connecticut Militia and by the 3rd century formed the 1st Civil Government, the seeds of Liberty!

I think I am decended from John, Samuel's brother. But they were New England planters. They arrived in NS in 1760. So I'm 6 generations away from them. I have a very annoyining problem though. My Great great grand father was Noble Beckwith but he seemed to appear in Bridgetown NS from out of nowhere in about 1830-1840 and claim the old Beckwith land grant. What is really mystifying is why it was available. And I can find absolutely nothing about this guy. Do you have any advice? By the way, do you know anything about the family during the revolution? Did any of the gang from Canada come home to help? What side diod they fight on? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
