Biography

John was the son of Robert Beville and Mary Saunders. He was born on 6 January 1611/12,[1] probably in Huntingdonshire where his father lived, and was said to be 6 in 1618. His older brother Matthew died in his father's lifetime, leaving John his father's main heir.[2][3]

John married Mary Clement, daughter of John Clement (Rector of Chesterton and Woodston, Huntingdonshire) on 15 April 1638 at Chesterton.[2][3][4] They had two children:

In 1663 John was fined for keeping horses on common land without permission.[2][3]

John had property at Chesterton and Stanground, Huntingdonshire.[2][3] He is recorded in the Hearth Tax list for Stanground, Huntingdonshire in 1666, so he was alive then.[2][3]

This profile was re-reviewed for the Magna Carta Project by Michael Cayley on 4 November 2022.
John Beville appears in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Essex Beville to Magna Carta Surety Baron Geoffrey de Say (vol. I, pages 192-196 BEVILLE). This profile is also in another trail from Beville-27 to Richard de Clare that was identified by the Magna Carta Project. Both trails were project-approved/badged in November 2015 by Noland-165 and are outlined in the Magna Carta Trails section of the Gateway's profile.
See Base Camp for more information about Magna Carta trails. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".

According to several online family trees on more than one website, he also had a daughter named Joane Beville who married an Alexander Ray, who I believe to me my 10x great-grandparents.

Not sure if the sources are up to Wikitree standards, but here are the links.

Are there sources attached to those online trees?

There's an immigration list index attached to the main FamilySearch tree as a source

Hi Kae-Leah,

I looked at all the online trees you attached above. None of them are properly sourced. The immigration index you mentioned calls her Joan Ray and gives no indication of who her parents were. WikiTree has strict sourcing requirements, particularly for pre-1700 profiles, and we don't consider unsourced online trees to be valid sources. However, if legitimate sources were attached to those online trees, we would definitely give them consideration. So, from what I'm seeing, Joan's parents are unknown. There is a WikiTree profile for her here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/UNKNOWN-59799

Thanks, Traci

Hi! I'm not finding support for his marriage in Canterbury Cathedral. Do you have access to the 700 years... book cited? Does it give a citation?

Thanks!

I have changed the marriage location to Chesterton, Huntingdonshire. There is a transcript of the marriage record on Familysearch.

Verified this profile as being on a project-approved trail (from Beville-27 to Say-76 & Clare-651 (following "Magna Carta badged" profiles to those surety barons). The project account for the Magna Carta Project will be added as a manager later this month to meet WikiTree guidelines (see Help:Project-Managed_Profiles). Give me a holler if you have any questions. ~ Liz, Magna Carta project member
