Biography

This adopted profile is possibly referring to undocumented accounts of a daughter of John Beasley 1685-1755 (Beasley-676) as noted below in a paragraph from John Beatty's "Some Beasley Families" document cited elsewhere. As Mr. Beatty state, this may be in reference to the fact that Winifred shows up in documents of the estate sale, but that is more likely referring to his wife Winifred. Therefore, I'm leaving this as an unattached profile:

ix. possibly WINIFRED BEASLEY, no record. She is often assigned as a daughter of John in various online sources since she was among the names of the purchasers at the 1755 estate sale, but a more likely interpretation of the record is that she was John’s widow of the same name. Several undocumented online genealogies assign John Barber as her spouse, but there is no direct or indirect evidence of their marriage. Her placement as a daughter must be considered conjectural and unproven.
