            "Orton" claims the marriage of Jeferey 1519

These are the children:

WILLIAM BEVENTON 2004 Born abt. 1530 died 21 September 1584

                        married Alyse who died 25 July 1573 and Ann Shieve she died 10 April 1581

                        William Beavington married Anne Chewe 22 August 1574

ROBERT BEVENTON 2001 Born abt. 1532 died 27th January 1605

                        married Margery in Cripplegate London

RICHARD BEVENTON Born abt. 1534

                        married Elizabeth Anett 20 July 1551

JONE BEVENTON Born about 1536

ELIZABETH BEVENTON Born abt. 1538

THOMAS BEVENTON 2002 Born about 1540

CHRISTOPHER BEVENTON 2003 Born about 1542 died 1606

                        married Ellin Scarlet

JOHN BEVENTON Born abt. 1544 He died December 8th 1588 in Shipston

AGNES BEVENTON Born abt. 1546 she died 1582

ANNE BEVENTON aka Johan the younger Born about 1548

            In the will of the mother she calls her two surviving girls Jone and Anne, but the will of the father, both give the name Johan. We will assume "Mother knows Best"

            Also in the will of the mother a Nycolas is mentioned, certainly not her son, but could be the middle son of Christopher or a brother to her husband - we have no way of ever knowing.

We have a fair knowledge of William and his wives, but sadly lacking on his children.

            Ed Note: This Nicholas is the son of one of the boys listed above, we have at this time no documentation on his birth, but the signs are obvious I hope.

THE HONINGTON FAMILY OF

1594 NICOLAS BEVINGTON & ELIZABETH WARKMAN

NICOLAS IS THE SON OF CHRISTOPHER BEVINGTON SENIOR

3004

                        The Last will of Nicolas is in the possession of the Editor, he died very young, with one son. His wife Elizabeth Warkman is the daughter of Mark Warkman both mentioned in the will. Obviously, Elizabeth is left with a small child after the early death of her husband and she remarried - Richard Hancock, on 16th November 1619. Elizabeth died 22nd August 1669 and Richard Hancock died 22nd February 1663.

            Anne Bevington, likely a sister to Nicolas married Edward Warkman 28th February 1619.

            With the finding of this will it really helps putting a few families into line.

Their child:

MARK BEVINGTON 4004 Born about 1615

            Married Alice about 1639 In 1615 the first white man to visit the future site of Toronto was the French Explorer Etienne Brule. Later in 1720 the French established a small trading post there - you should see the town now!

SHIPSTON ON STOUR

*******************

THE VILLAGE/TOWN OF SHIPSTON

            Honington would seem to be the beginning of the Bevington/Beavington family line for our purposes, but about 1619 the first to travel down the road to Shipston in 1619 was Mark Bevington, he would be 4 years of age, his Father, Nicolas had died in 1617 and his mother Elizabeth had married again to a Richard Hancock, a Shipston resident. About 1639, Mark married Alice and had a least 3 children namely Mark, Nicolas and Benjamin all born between 1640 and 1650, Mark married Katherine and Nicolas married Grace Cooper. Nicolas will be an Innkeeper in Shipston likely for his brother Benjamin who by the early 1700's owns the Plough Inn and other properties and land,

            The next to move into Shipston was Francis Bevington and his wife Elizabeth Hautin who start their family in 1675, a Tanner by trade, they have 11 children and 9 survive, only his son Francis carries on the Tanning Business and has a daughter named Mary. Samuel who uses the name Beavington, Francis's younger brother, also goes to Shipston and follows in his brother's footsteps and becomes a Tanner and has seven children, the youngest of which will be another Samuel Beavington who married Elizabeth Kilsby and have 10 chyldren, adopt the Quaker faith and move to Chipping Campden.

            In all from 1640 until 1761 there are a dozen Bevington/Beavington families and about 62 births.

            The Editor is deeply indebted to Mr. Alfred Woodward, for his extra-ordinary interest in this work and for his efforts to obtain items most relevant to our family.

            In the Fall 1995, Alfred Woodward sends copies of photographs of Shipston, including the Plough Inn and The Tannery all owned in the early years by the family.

            There was a Quaker Meeting House on the main Street, now a Public Library, today several memorial stones can be seen in the grass covered area behind the building. Peter I Drinkwater produced a beautiful booklet in Old Fashioned Script in June 1995 recalling the structure of the building over the years and after the decline in Quakerism in the latter part of the 18th Century the building was used temporarily by the local Methodists, Adult School Room. Evangelical Fellowship and today the city library. Photographs of 2 grave sites show brickwork lined graves with a doomed roof lying just 2 feet below the ground, special thanks to the Shipston Historian Mr. Alfred Woodward, for obtaining these photographs for me.

            In the summer of 1994 the Editor and his wife were window shopping in this beautiful little town, and stopped outside a picture framing shop. admiring a picture of Chipping Campden in the window. Realizing the picture was not within our budget we entered the store and enquired of the owner if had other pictures of Honington, Ilmington or Campden. He walked over to the side of the store and opened a large draw containing all manner of pictures, cards and photographs. He reached for a 1911 picture postcard of "The Bevington Cottages" at Ilmington which belonged to my great x 5 grandfather Robert and his brother Thomas. The postcard is now framed and hanging in our foyer.

             The Tannery, perhaps not the most imposing building in Shipston, is pictured as a rather austere building, and has perhaps been rebuilt over the years, but was finally pulled down in 1980 and replaced with houses, Several photographs of the Plough Inn reveal a brick faced building, and again I suspect has been modernized many times since the 1600's, one can imagine the number of "pints" pulled at the bar over the centuries, and the number of barmaids that have washed the glasses.

            A photograph of Sheep Street, in Shipston shows the house of John Pitway next to Akers Store, the Editor ponders whether it remained in the Pitway family and in turn was home to Edward Pitway and Mary Beavington.

Nicholas was a widower when he died and no children seem to have been in evidence except for the signatures on the Will of John and Thos Beavington but not their children I think these two gentlemen die a few years later in Shipston.

            Benjamin died 8th November 1727, Mary his wife died 5th November 1749

September 25th 1995. Today obtained the will of Benjamin Beavington (Bevonton).

            This Gentleman was wealthy, he had numerous properties in Shipston including the Plough Inn, perhaps the best way to cover the Will is to show what each beneficiary received under their name.

March 8th 1995, Today I received the will of Mary Beavington a document of immense value to me. The will is very legible and have selected interesting items from it.

THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF MARY BEAVINGTON OF SHIPSTON ON STOUR

WILL DATED 8TH DAY OF JUNE 1742

CODICILS DATED 1742, 1748 AND 1749

            Named as beneficiaries is her grandson William Thomas and Ann & Mary Pittway daughters of Mary's Son in Law Edward Pittway.

`          Mary gives a piece of land and buildings at a place called Jarrotts Leys to the above children..

Ed Note: Leys = meadow.

            But they have to wait until they are 21, The premises are now being rented to Mary's son Thomas and daughter Alice Thomas (That would indicate that the daughter Alice is or was married to a Thomas).

            The rents are to be used to bring up Ann & Mary Pittway and William Thomas.

            It is obvious that Mary is looking after these 3 children and instructs the executors of her estate to maintain them for a month after her death so they can find a "position"

            She gives the children sheets, pewter dishes, pewter plates, iron candlesticks, fire shovels, tongs, beef kettles, beef can being in the Ale House. 2 spinning wheels

MARY BEAVINGTON 6008 Born 3rd August 1688

            Mary married Edward Pittway on Shipston on the 9th April 1710

            It seems obvious that Mary Beavington has died before the year 1742

THOMAS BEAVINGTON 6007 Born 10th March 1690 will Mary Sarah and have 11 children

THE SHIPSTON AND ALDERMINSTER FAMILY OF

Rachell. Mary, Sarah and Alice will receive 5 pounds each from their fathers will and will share a yard of land.

THE SHIPSTON FAMILY OF

1685 WILLIAM BEAVINGTON AND MARY ?

WILLIAM IS THE SON OF BENJAMIN BEAVINGTON AND MARY

6006

            In 1742 it is obvious that William Beavington has died and Mary has arranged for the well - being of Benjamin his son, with an immediate payment of 12 pounds on her death , which she left with a fellow named Joseph Hunt for the benefit of Benjamin. Benjamin also gets property.

            Mary, Williams wife will remarry 30th November 1726 to William Pittway. I have sneaking hunch Mother in Law is not a happy camper over this for in her will she leaves Mary her daughter in Law 1/-.

            William the father dies 7th October 1724

Their children:

BENJAMIN BEAVINGTON Born prior to the death of his father in 1724

            Benjamin becomes a beneficiary in his Grandfathers Will as follows:

ITEM: I give etc etc. unto my Grandson Benjamin Beavington Son of William Beavington All that messuage or tenement etc thereto belonging One Quarter of one yard land and close in Shipston which I formerly bought of one George Tennant the close called Lorkley's Close.

MARY BEAVINGTON alive in 1727

            Mary indirectly benefits from her Grandfathers Will she will get 130 pounds from her brother when he takes possession of certain land,

THE SHIPSTON FAMILY OF

EDWARD PITTWAY AND 1688 MARY BEAVINGTON

MARY IS THE DAUGHTER OF BENJAMIN BEAVINGTON AND MARY

6008

Mary Beavington is the daughter of Benjamin Beavington and is a beneficiary in her fathers will as follows:

             I give and bequeath unto my Son in Law Edward Pitway twenty shillings and to my daughter Mary Pitway his now wife (Who hath had her portion already paid her) five pounds for her own use in rememberance of me.

Their children:

The parents were married on 9th April 1710

EDWARD PITWAY Born about 1711 eldest son

            In the Will of Edward's Grandfather Benjamin Beavington this young fellow will be a beneficiary as follows:

            ITEM: I give and bequeath unto my Grandson Edward Pitway, Eldest son of my Daughter Mary Pitway One Shilling (Now this child got the shilling - must have been in Grandpa's bad books).

JOHN PITWAY about 1717 £5 was given to John in his Grandfather Will to go as an apprentice

STEPHEN PITWAY about 1719 £5 was given to Stephen in his Grandfather's Will - apprentice.

ELIZABETH PITWAY about 1721 £10 in Grandfathers Will to be paid 2 years after his death.

ANN PITTWAY Born after the death of Grandpa Benjamin i.e. after 1727

MARY PITWAY Born after the death of Grandpa Benjamin i.e. after 1727

BENJAMIN PITWAY before 1715

            In the William of Benjamin's Grandfather Benjamin Beavington this young fellow will be a beneficiary as follows:

            ITEM: Whereas I am leggally possessed of a certain piece or parcell of Ground in Shipston aforesaid which I hold by Coppy or Coppys of Court Roles etc which I formerly bought and purchased of Joseph Hunt of Stratford upon Avon, Gent called and knows by the name of Jarretts Leys, I give etc etc this piece or parcell of ground and all my right of interest therein to my Grandson Benjamin Pitway, son of my Daughter Mary Pitway.

            I think Benjamin Pitway must die young because Jarretts Leys originally willed to him is given to his sisters Ann & Mary in Mary Beavington's will.

THE SHIPSTON ON STOUR FAMILY OF

1690 THOMAS BEAVINGTON & SARAH

THOMAS IS THE SON OF BENJAMIN AND MARY

6007

            In the Will of Thomas's Father Benjamin Beavington, Thomas will become a beneficiary as follows:

            ITEM: I give etc etc unto my loving son Thomas Beavington after the death of my Loving Wife Mary Beavington All that my new build messuage or tenement with the etc in Shipston that I bought and purchases of John Harris ---- Wheelwrights

I believe some this family will move to Lambeth, at this time I cannot prove because I have not seen the Church records - but I place this note here so I will not forget and if I do someone else can check it out.

                        Mar 1995 - more sure than ever now.

Sarah dies 21st June 1756

MARK BEAVINGTON Born 2nd December 1719

            1719 marks the completion of "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe

            Mark is lucky his Grandfather Benjamin Beavington will give him the Plough Inn, Shipston after the death of Benjamin's wife Mary. The Will states as follows:

            ITEM: Whereas I am possessed of one other messuage or Tennament in Shipston known by the name or sign of the Plough Inn in Shipston, now in the possession of Daniell Arnold, I give, devise and bequeath the same after the death of my Loving Wife Mary Beavington as followeth, All that part of the Messuage or Tenement called the plough now in possession of the said Daniell Arnold with the yard barns, stables, pigstys and all other the buildings thereupon, together with the kitchen etc I give and bequeath unto my Grandson Mark Beavington Son of my Son Thomas Beavington

            In his grandmother Mary's will, Mark will get a bunch of household effects leaving me to believe he may be still resident in Shipston in the 1740's.

            In 1761 Mark is Living in Barcheston and handles the paperwork relating to the death of his father.

THOMAS BEAVINGTON Born 4th March 1721

            Thomas died of Small Pox 2nd April 1731

            Sarah died 31st May 1734

ANNE BEAVINGTON Born 1st February 1736

            Anne died 11th December 1748

Editors Note: This family is very prosperous, those that moved to Ashby will become Physcians, their son William will become an Apothecary. - All this thanks to Grandpa I think.

THE SHIPSTON AND BARCHESTON FAMILY OF

1719 MARK BEAVINGTON & MARTHA KNIBB & ELIZABETH JARVIS AND MARY THOMAS HIS FIRST COUSIN

MARK IS THE SON OF 1690 THOMAS AND SARAH

7006

            Mark married Martha Knibb 28 Dec 1747 in Shipston, she died 15th January 1754

            Mark the father married Elizabeth Jarvis 11 Feb 1755

Tysoe: Martha, wife of George Knibb died 23rd June 1725 age 72 years, This must be Martha's grandmother.

            Mark handles the paperwork relating to the death of his father Thomas Beavington in 1761, I am not sure whether or not he takes possession of all the effects which are:

Deceased wearing apparel and ready money 1 pound

A Copyhold (I think this is a leasehold) ---- ---- in Shipston consisting of 5 tenements held under the Dean of Worcester for four lives in which are 3 only 160 pounds

The --- of a piece of ground called Jarretts Leys holding under the Dean and Chapter etc for 4 lives

One Cottage the same tenure only 2 lives in being 12 pounds

Another cottage the same tenure after the decease of an old life for one life only 8 Pounds

Rent due to the decease at the time of his death 5 Pounds 18 Shillings Total 216 Pounds 18 Shillings

            I am sure Mark lives in Shipston having moved from Barcheston after his fathers death.

Their children:

Mark & Elizabeth have a baby in London in 1766

ELIZABETH BEAVINGTON Born 2nd December 1748

THOMAS BEAVINGTON Born 25th July 1751 [this birth is in question] - No! born in Barcheston

                        Thomas died 26 July 1751 in Barcheston

THOMAS BEAVINGTON Born 5th December 1753

ANNE BEAVINGTON Born 13th October 1755

Anne died January 13th 1758 in Barcheston - which Anne?

ANNE BEAVINGTON Born 6 Jan 1758

MARK BEAVINGTON Born 4th February 1757 he died 17th February 1757 in Barcheston

MARY BEAVINGTON Born 6th January 1761

SARAH BEAVINGTON Born 25th February 1759

ALICE BEAVINGTON Born ? died March 23 1756 in Barcheston

AT THE MATERNITY HOSPITAL IN HOLBORN LONDON MARK BEVENTON AND ELIZABETH HAVE A CHILD AND RECORD THE FACT THAT MARK IS FROM SHIPSTON.

THIS FAMILY FITS THE BILL

WILLIAM BEAVINGTON 20th December 1766 Bapt on the 24th.

This family went to London likely knew William and Susanna there.

            I think this Mark is a devil for punishment, in all my searching this really is the only family that lives in Barcheston, Mark gets married a third time to Mary Thomas his first cousin.

APOTHECARY

WILLIAM IS THE SON OF 1690 THOMAS AND SARAH

1727 William at the age of 18 will become an apprentice Apothecary in Southam, Warwickshire a student of Thomas Holmes.

Susanna died April 19th 1761

            Married Mary Netherclift at Lambeth, London

THOMAS BEAVINGTON 8004 Born 13th April 1753

            Married Jane Watson of Shoreditch

THESE TWO BOYS WILL GO TO LONDON, LAMBETH AND HAVE FAMILIES, BUT ONLY GIRLS AS FAR AS I CAN SEE, BUT FOR SURE THEY ALREADY HAD KIN IN LONDON BEFORE THEY LEFT SHIPSTON, SO POSSIBLE WILLIAM FOUND ANOTHER WIFE THERE, HE CERTAINLY NEEDED ONE WITH 2 SMALL KIDS.

Benjamin and Thomas had Aunt Mary, their father's sister living in Lambeth her name was Mary Robins.

Their Children:

BENJAMIN BEAVINGTON Born 29th July 1747 Lived on Market Street, Ashby de la Zouch

            Holden's Annual London and Country Directory 1811 - indicates Benjamin Beavington is a Wine and Liquor Merchant in Ashby - more likely this Benjamin than 1781 Benjamin below.

THOMAS BEAVINGTON Born 2nd December 1748

            In 1762 Thomas becomes an apprentice to John Vincent Surgeon, and Thomas obtains his Masters Ticket - Cutting Rights - in 1781. In 1785 he becomes an apothecary as well as being a surgeon. There is no indication that he was married.

                        There is a marriage between Mary Beavington and Thomas Cantrell in 1796 in Ashby de la Zouch - I don't know at this stage but it looks like maybe this William died and Mary remarried. This is the only available Mary in Ashby.

A Mary Beavington is a Wine and Spirit Merchant in Market Place in 1841 - It looks like we may have 2 Marys here somehow.

c. 1700 JOHN THOMAS AND 1701 ALICE BEAVINGTON

ALICE BEAVINGTON IS THE DAUGHTER OF BENJAMIN BEAVINGTON AND MARY

6009

Alice the daughter of wealthy Benjamin Beavington will do well by his will, although it is probable that her husband is not among one of Benjamin's favourite in laws.

Items from the will include:

I bequeath to my Son in Law John Thomas, one Guinea to buy him a ring (For the benefit of those who do not know 1 guinea is £1 and 1 shilling)

The Will further states that the Plough is to be given to Mark Beavington son of Thomas, but the paragraph continues to the benefit of Alice Thomas. And as for the remaining, All that other part of the Messuage or tenement belonging to the Plough next and adjoining to the Sign of the Black Swan now in the possession of John Thomas and Alice his wife together with the cellar the boarded room and Chambers over the Same I give etc after the death of my loving wife Mary Beavington unto my Daughter Alice Thomas for and during the form of her natural life only, together with free passage to and from the pump at all times for the water. Then after Alice's decease the property will be divided between her children but with the exception of Mary - for reasons I don't know yet.

I further my will and desire is that all that flatt Building belonging to that part of the plough as I have in this my will given to my daughter Alice Thomas shall be kept in good and sufficient tennantable repair by her, and I further will and desire is that my daughter Alice Thomas shall pay her part and proportion towards the repair of the pump when and as often as there shall occasion.

According to Alice's father John Thomas is a Barber in Shipston

Alice will get title to property on Sheep Street, Shipston from Benjamin Alice's father.

5006

Katherine died 6th July 1695

Mark died 15th October 1728

The church record shows "11 Oct 25 Sarah" in the column beside the name, whatever that means.

            In his will Mark also recognizes Robert BEAVington and Alice Bevington to be his children but Robert was adopted for reason unknown but likely because their father died when his children were young and I suspect the mother also died,

Their children:

MARK BEVINGTON 18th July 1677

ELIZABETH BEVINGTON 8th May 1680

ELIZABETH BEVINGTON 2nd April 1684

            1684 Bermuda became a British Colony, first discovered in 1503, settled 100 years later

ROBERT BEAVINGTON Born 1676 S.A. 1996 died 27 January 1755 in Ilmington

            At the age of 22 according to the will of Mark, Alice lives at home and is bequeathed the bed she now lyes on, with the blankets, coverlid, curtain, bedstead and two pairs of sheets.

            Robert's biological father died 23rd April 1700, the mother I have no data on at all.

            To add to the story, Ben Beventon (Benjamin Beavington) witnessed the will of Mark, Benjamin Beavington was the brother of Mark and would die the following year.

TANNER

JEFFERY IS THE SON OF CHRISTOPHER BEVINGTON SNR. & ELLEN SCARLET

.                                                                          3006

Marriage Registered 30 Oct 1627

Most of the children of this marriage will become Quakers and we will call them the Ettington & Shipston group.

In 1720 all the local meeting houses contribute towards the publication of a book called, William Jewels, History of the People called Quakers.

            The Will of Jeofrey Bevington dated 8th April 1676 - Proved 4th June 1676 at Worcester by Samuel Beavington one of his executors (his son)

            I Jeofrey Bevington of Honington, In the County of Warwicke, Tanner, being of perfect minde etc, I give unto my son Samuell Bevington all those closes which I have in Shipston upon Stower, in the County of Worcester called the hoame Closes otherwise known by the name of the Tythe Barne Close which is now in the occupation of George Parker and likewise the barne called the Tythe Barne and orchard there unto belonging, together with the lease which I have thereof.

            Unto my youngest sonne Jeoffrey Beavington all that my Quarter of one yard Land with the appurtenances which I have in Shipston upon Stower now in my own possession. And likewise all that Closse of inclosed ground in Shipston aforesaid which I bought of Thomas Mancell, together with the lease I have thereof. Unto my youngest daughter Hannah Bevington £100

            I give unto my eldest sonne Christopher Bevington all that part of my messuage and lands in Honington wherein I now dwell which I bought of my Father in Law Robert Batchelor

(actually his step father his Mother remarried in 1610) late of Honington deceased. If my said sonne Christopher shall die without issue I give the said messuage and lands unto my said youngest sonne Jeoffrey Bevington and his heirs.

            I give unto my kinsman Jeoffrey Neale sonne of my sonne in law Robert Neale £5 and to Margarett the daughter of my son in law William Gunn £5. to my sonne in law John Greene 10s. to my Goddaughter the daughter of my son Francis 5s.

            I give the rest of my goods unto my wife Alice Bevington and I make my wife and my sonne Samuell Bevington my Executors

            Lastly, I give unto the poore people of this Towne of Honington 20s.

Witnesses Richard Brandis, & William Horne - Total value £531. 6s. 10d.

Their children:-

ANNE BEVINGTON 8th November 1629 * married William Gunn about 1650

            Anne Gunn at the time of her fathers death would be 47 - if she was still living - but I think she has died.

CHRISTOPHER BEVINGTON Born 18th October 1631

            Christopher will be 45 years of age at the death of his father and he will inherit buildings and land in Honington - But the will said if he should die without issue then the property will go to Jeoffrey his youngest brother - I guess father knew that Christopher was a confirmed bachelor

Christopher will not become a Quaker, and I can find no record of a wedding, he does

stay in Honington, and died on March 27th 1696. in 1682 he will be a Churchwarden at the Honington Parish Church.

            Christopher is not blessed with great wealth, at the time of his death admin 16th June 1696. his estate was valued at £10. 15s. 0d. His assets were given to his brother Francis Beavington, of Shipston.

ELIZABETH BEVINGTON [Quaker] Born 6th July 1634 Quaker

            Elizabeth married John Greene on 15th May 1665, but it looks like John Greene married again to Elizabeth Weftley in 1671

MARGARET BEVINGTON [Quaker] Born 19th June 1636 married John Washborne 27th August 1669

            Jack V. Wood book "Some Rural Quakers" mentions John Washborne as a Banbury Quaker.

             Margaret is not mentioned in her fathers will.

SARAH BEVINGTON Born 13th March 1637 married Rob Neal 14 July 1652     Sarah is not mentioned in her father's will but her son is.

ALICE BEVINGTON Born 3rd November 1639 married John Crow 15 May 1674

            Alice was known as Alice of Eatington

FRANCIS BEVINGTON 4005 Born 26th March 1645. married Elizabeth Hautin 3rd October 1674

             Francis at the time of his father's death is 31 years of age, I am pretty sure that Francis's father is the godfather of Alice, Francis's eldest daughter.

            In 1696 Francis inherits the estate of his brother Christopher - only £10

MARY BEVINGTON [Quaker] Born 25th April 1647 she married Richard Tredwell of Sibford 22 Aug 1675 Sibford is in Oxfordshire I think, has a large Quaker population - a school maybe.

HANNAH BEVINGTON [Quaker] Born 11th March 1648

            Hannah was 28 years of age at the death of her father - she received £100

Hannah married Thomas William Noall (likely his name is Wall a W looks like a NO) married in the Friends Meeting House in Shipston on Stour on the 8th day of March 1687.

            Present at the wedding is William Beavington her brother.

            Mary Beavington her sister Jeffery Beavington her father - No it can't be her father, this is her brother, we have no record of his birth but we know he is alive in 1721, because his brother William will leave him 10 pounds in his will.            She will have at least 2 children, Jeffery and Robert

SAMUEL BEVINGTON 4006 Born 15th January 1650, Samuel married Mary

WILLIAM BEVINGTON 4007 [Quaker] Born 14th August 1642,. Quaker died 7th August 1721

             William married Mary Stanley in 1677, Mary died on 13 June 1694

            Ann, William's second wife died 7 Mar 1719            William is a tanner by trade.

     (From this time forward he will be known as 1642 William, for he has a very long family line in front of him).

On August 22nd 1642 the English Civil War started, in fact it was really 3 wars, the first between King Charles I and Parliament, allied with the Scottish Covenanters, lasted until 1646. The second, in which a Scottish Army fought for Charles I against Parliament took place in 1648, and the last, in which the Scots were led by Charles II as their king lasted from 1649 to 1651.

JEFFERY BEVINGTON Born about 1652- still alive after 1721

            Jeffery does not show in the Honington Church Records, but is the youngest son so about 1652 would appear to be a reasonable guess.

Ed note: After reading that will it is obvious that he has little to leave except the houses he has on lease, but his daughter Elizabeth would seem to be old enough to accept the job as executrix. - So how come in the next will by Susannah his wife she holds all the goods etc and Elizabeth is not even mentioned. - Did Elizabeth die?

            The Last Will and Testament of Susannah - refers to the cottages etc and she leaves everything more or less to her son in law Richard Stateham and Sarah his wife

 Editors Note: I had confusion here until I was told that Galfredus was Jeffery

Jeffery will inherit his fathers premises in Shipston on Stower together with his brother Samuel, Brother William get the use of the shoppe for a bob a year.

            To Richard Waring son of the said Joseph Waring £50 ------- to Mary Lamley of Bloxham in the county of Oxford widow £200 etc etc

            This lady is a very strong Quaker, much like her late husband I suspect, from all the money given in the will she was a wealthy lady.

            But the question why didn't she give money to her children ?

            Just no information on this family

Their children:

JEFFERY BEAVINGTON               30th January 1716

ELIZABETH BEAVINGTON                     2nd April 1718

ELIZABETH BEAVINGTON                      2nd February 1724

SAMUEL BEAVINGTON                23 January 1725

ANNA BEAVINGTON                    15th April 1728

            Editors Note, these children were born to [Galfredus] which I read is the alternative name for Jeffery, and they were born in Church of England, without any doubt Margaret is a Quaker, but it appears that none of the children survive according to the will, maybe that is so but! The children have become Beavingtons - so is there a mistake here - maybe one day we shall find out.

            June 21st 1994, on film number 0811750 - Quakers in the Cotswolds. part of the film deals with Broad Campden, and the major family involved is the Beavingtons of course. Maybe it will close a few gaps for me.
