Col BEAVERS was a friend of General William MAXWELL (aka "scotch-willie") -see my other post with the link here: http://www3.telus.net/cliffordweb/content/generation3.html - this contains letters between MAXWELL and governor LIVINGSTON on the character of col BEAVERS. Both BEAVERS and MAXWELL were members of the Greenwich Presbyterian Church and both are buried there. Breakness@aol.com wrote: In a message dated 2/21/2005 8:07:15 A.M.

The Beavers very well could have been Beviers, decendants of the Huguenot of New Platz, New York. They came early, married with Deyo, DuBois, LeFever, and those families. They may have changed the spelling of the last name to Beaver. They, also married in with the old Dutch families. Just a thought.
