Gamaliel Beamont of Easthorpe, Essex, England (mentioned in the research notes here) was the vicar of that parish, son of Stephen Beamont the previous vicar. When he died in 1641, Gamaliel's will indicated that he was married but had no children. (I'm in the process of transcribing it EDIT: It is here). The Easthorpe register is extant from 1572 and is very legible. I will create that family group to show they are a separate non-migrating family.
In the meantime, what is to be done with the probably fictitious Gamaliel the father of this profile? He was probably created as an interim generation so that Helen Knightsford wasn't giving birth to him in her 50s. I'm happy to take this to G2G for a wider discussion. The G2G discussion for the other (now disconnected) migrant, Simon Beamon is here

Also - there is no evidence that his spouse Sarah was a Clark at all - the reference in Emily Wooden's book is incorrect as that Sarah Clark married someone else.
Anderson does say Sarah_____ But there is good evidence for Clark. See her profile: shoot- I take that back. I just looked at it again and realized I misinterpreted what I was reading. I will change it.
