Biography
John Beamond, 23, and William Beamond, 27, enrolled together 15 April 1635 and sailed from the London Customs House on the ship, Elizabeth, under William Stagg, Master, bound for New England[1] with eighty or more souls. The records of the London Customs House afford information as to the eighty passengers and show that the ship left England legally; all passengers having been examined touching their conformity to the discipline of the English State Church; all had taken oath of allegiance and supremacy, and there were no subsidy men. Among their fellow passengers were ancestors of Levi Parsons Morton of New York, Senator Isaac Chapman Bates of Massachusetts, and Senator Henry Alden Richardson of Delaware.[1]
He settled first with his relative, William, at Salem, Essex Co., Massachusetts and was granted five acres of land there, 30 Mar 1640.[2]
In August 1643, his name appears on the list of men able to bear arms in Scituate, Plymouth Colony, but this may be another man of the same name.[2]
The following year he was in Boston purchasing on 14 June 1644, from Jonathan Brewster, certain books which had formed part of Elder William Brewster's library.[2]
He died sometime in 1645/6, leaving a widow and one son, also John. The records of the Salem Quarterly Court show that the widow married a John Tucker, and the son, John, was then placed under the guardianship of Daniel Rea of Salem in July 1647.[2][3]
Research Notes
Beaumont-1130 and Stafford-1844 have been removed as John Beamon's parents (as well as the South Yorkshire birth place) as there is no evidence that the two families are actually connected.
The Coat of Arms has been removed there is no evidence that either of the men were armigerous.
In trying to find the parents for John and William Beamond the best starting point would be Bridgnorth in Shropshire, where they apparently took their oaths[4] before the magistrates prior to emigrating. There was an Edmund Beamond baptising children in the first two decades of the 1600s in Burford, Shropshire, fifteen miles SW of Bridgnorth. At the same time, there was a Christopher Beamond baptising his children ten miles to the east at Wolverhampton, Staffordshire. However in neither case was there a John or a William among the children. The only Beamonds having John and William at the right time are halfway across the country in Bedfordshire (100 miles to the east). This John is born at exactly the right time. And this William is also at the correct time, born in a village ten miles east of where the John Beamond was born. They have different father's though. However there is no record of them being brothers and they may well have been cousins travelling together. Certainly when John dies young, William is not entrusted with his young son.
Please see the following G2G discussion as to his possible parentage.
The Beaman-Clarke Genealogy, without any justification, places the PGM John as brother of migrants Simon Beaman (bef.1627-1676) and Gamaliel (Beamon) Beaman (abt.1623-1678),[5] which matches the names given here, though the brother Gamaliel shown here is not the same Gamaliel.

Cheers, Jo, England Project Managed Profiles Team coordinator
John only had one child, also John, please do not add others without evidence.
Sadly, I doubt if we're going to find more evidence. Personally I am happy that, having found a William and a John related to each other and both with birth dates that match exactly the ages given when they sailed, these are the correct links. There certainly aren't any other candidates about. And neither of them are found marrying or dying in England.
However I want to give people a chance to squeal first. My one doubt is that William does not use his father or mother's name for his known children. That would've been the absolute clincher.

Can someone put some time into checking the parents? Their profile says they had sons John and William. Can we disprove them?
Objections to disconnecting the parents?
The coat of arms etc. should probably also be removed, as not belonging.
I will add the project box, as well as source Great Migration.
