Robert Beverley was a Virginia colonist.

Robert Beverley[1]

Robert - spelled Beverley - known as "Major Robert Beverley, the immigrant"[2]

Origin

Robert's death was recorded in the Christ Church Parish Register as "Majr Robert Beverley of Yorkshire" (p 32)[3]

According to Emory Evans, writing for the Encyclopedia Virginia, the Saint Mary Lowgate Parish Record at Hull, Yorkshire, England has revealed details about the Beverley family.[2] Robert Beverley was christened there on January 3, 1635. Robert was the eldest of eight, four sons and four daughters, born to Peter Beverly and Susanna (Hollis/Hollice) Beverley of Hull, Yorkshire, England.[2]

The old English family, Beverley, were given monastery lands for their Royalist support.[4] These lands were situated at the town of Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, which was hotly contended during the English Civil War.[4] In fact, Robert is reported to have said "that his heart had been filled from his youth up with loyalty to his King."[4]

Immigrated

Robert immigrated about 1663, settled in Middlesex County.[4]

Marriages

Robert married two or three times.[2][5] According to Emory G. Evans, writing for the Encyclopedia Virginia, the newly found Saint Mary Lowgate Parish Record at Hull, Yorkshire, reveals that Robert had a brief first marriage in England.[2]

  • He married before 1662 at the parish of Saint Mary Lowgate, Hull, as his first, to
    Elizabeth Unknown.[2] She died May 9, 1663, two days after the christening of their only child, Peter.[2]
  • He married c. March 1665/6 at Northumberland (later Middlesex) County, Virginia, as his 2nd, and probably as her 2nd, to Mary (Unknown) Keeble (b c. Feb 1637/8, d 1 Jun 1678)[5] who was probably the widow of George Keeble.[6] Her name has variously supposed to be: Maria Carter, Mary Carter, Mary Whitby, Mary Keeble, and Margaret (Mary) Boyd.[6]

Note: Patricia Hatcher, writing for the American Ancestors Journal in 2012, calls her only "Mary" (see Mary's profile)[5] The inscription on her tomb says, "Mrs. Mary Beverly, wife of Major Robert Beverly, mother of nine sons & three daughters ...[5] Most likely there were Keeble children including: Walter, George, Mary, and Margaret[6] combined with Beverley children for the total of twelve.

  • He married on 28 March 1678/9 at Christ Church Parish, Middlesex County, Virginia (p 18),[7] as his 3rd, and as her 1st, to Katherine (Hone), sister of Judith (Hone) Armistead (b c. 1659), daughter of Theophilus Hone (see Katherine's profile).[5] John Robinson, Bishop of Bristol, England, submitted testimony to the College of Heralds that his brother, Christopher Robinson, had married, as his 2nd wife, "Katherine, daur: of Theophilus Hone of Jamestown in Virginia, Relict of Major Robert Beverley."[5]

Robert and Katherine had at least three children together, possibly more.[5]

Children

Children of Robert and Elizabeth:[2]

  1. Peter Beverly, christened May 7, 1663, Hull, Yorkshire, England; mar Elizabeth Peyton[8]

Children of Robert and Mary:[6][8]

  1. Robert Beverley, Jr b c. 1673, Middlesex Co.; mar Ursula Byrd[8]
  2. Henry "Harry" Beverley, b c. 1675, Middlesex Co.;mar Elizabeth Smith, daughter and heiress of Robert Smith of "Brandon," Middlesex Co (p 173).[9]
  3. John Beverley, b c. 1675
  4. Mary Beverley, b c. 1677; mar before June 1694 William Jones of King and Queen[9]

Note: An interesting entry in The Parish Register of Christ Church ..., Christenings, reports "William the Illegitimate Sone of Hannah Majo' Beverleys maid Jan' 8th 1681/2" (pg 13).[3] To clarify the date, this is listed between a christening "17th Novemb' 1681" and one on "June 4th, 1682."[3] This seems to be a different child than the one of the same name, William, who was born a year earlier and attributed to his wife, Katherine.

Child of Robert and his servant, Hannah (Pg 13):[3]

  1. William Beverley bpt 8 Jan 1681/2

Children of Robert and Katherine (Hone):

  1. William Beverley bpt 4 January 1680/01 (p 16)[3], d 1702; mar Judith (Wormeley) Griffin, widow of Corbin Griffin, and she mar 2nd to Christopher Robinson.[9]
  2. Catherine Beverley, b c. 1685; m John Robinson, son of Christopher Robinson
  3. Thomas Beverley died 20 Sept 1686 (pp 7, 31)[3] without issue.[9]
  4. Christopher Beverley chr 19 Mar 1686/7 (the day of his father's burial), bpt. Feb 18, 1686[/7?][9]

Eldest son Peter Beverley was in 1687 guardian of his brother, John Beverley.[9] Sons Harry, John and Robert were educated at England as evidenced by an invoice from Perry and Lane for "entertaining and accommodating them."[9]

On April 4, 1704, Harry gave bond as guardian of Christopher Beverley.[9]

The children above are the only known children of Robert Beverley. Some also claim this as a child, without evidence or citation:[citation needed]

Servants

On 6 July 1674, Walter Harris, 11 years of age, arrived in Middlesex County, Virginia as a servant to "Capt. Robert Beverly."[10]

On 3 January 1680/1, "Richard Bonner servant to Maj. Robert Beverley coming into this country in the ship Recovery is adjudged 17 years of age."[10]

John Hunten was buried at Christ Church Parish on 23 Feb 1682/3 (p 8).[3]

John Dawd, "Cooper and Servant" died at Christ Church Parish on 17 September 1686 (p 7).[3]

Richard Dewes of Yorkshire, overseer, was buried on 11 November 1686 at Christ Church (p 31).[3]

Property and Offices

In 1670, Robert Beverley was elected clerk for the House of Burgesses; he held that office until Bacon's Rebellion in 1676. He also served as a justice at Middlesex County, Virginia in 1673, "and perhaps earlier."[4]

1676 - Bacon's Rebellion

During Bacon's Rebellion, Robert was a staunch supporter of Gov. Berkeley.[4] Beverley was so effective in commanding the governor's troops that, on November 13, 1676, Berkeley made him commander of all his troops, and they were successful.[4] For his loyal service during Bacon's Rebellion, Gov. Berkeley appointed Beverley to the Council.[4]

The king's commissioners arrived in Virginia to assist the governor, but their actions were seen as intrusive and controlling.[4] Robert Beverley became a central figure in the struggle between the loyal Burgesses and the king's representatives.[4] In late 1677, Robert Beverley and Col. Edward Hill were identified as resistors and removed from their offices.[4]

In May 1682, Beverely was held prisoner, but escaped. After some months of cat and mouse, in May 1684, Beverley was found guilty of high misdemeanors. Despite his prior disagreements with Gov Berkley, in 1685, Robert Beverley was once again elected as clerk of the Assembly. King James II blamed Beverley for the disruption in his colony and declared him unfit to hold any office.[11]

Death and Legacy

Robert's will was written on 26 August 1686, and he died on 15 March 1686[/7] (p 29).[7]

Maj. Robert Beverley "of Yorkshire" was buried on 19 March 1686/7 at Christ Church, Middlesex County, Virginia (pp 29, 32).[3][5]

The will of Robert Beverley was transcribed in The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, in July 1895. A copy is accessible here.[12] A transcription is also available in Records of Colonial Gloucester County, Virginia.[13]

Research Notes

Children - John Beverley

According to Stanard, writing for The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography in Oct 1895, children of Robert and Mary were: Peter, Robert, Harry, and Mary, and the children of Robert and Katherine were: William, John, Thomas, and Christopher.

The discrepancy is Stanard's placement of John's birth after Robert's marriage to Katherine in 1679 (p 18).[3] We know that John was born about 1675, because he was an orphan aged 13 years, on 2 April 1688. John Beverley chose his eldest brother, Peter Beverley, as his guardian. John, under the guardianship of his brother, was in England prior to October, 1694, as at that date the executors of Christopher Robinson, executor de bonis non of Maj. Robert Beverley render an account which includes an item of 40 pounds paid to Perry and Lane of London, merchants, for entertaining and accommodating Maj. Robert Beverley’s sons, Harry, John and Robert.[9] Therefore, John must have been a son of Mary.

Major Robert Beverly/Beverley b ca 1635 d 1687 had four wives: 1) md bef 1656-1663 England, Elizabeth Armistead (mother of Thomas and Peter); (2 bef 1 Apr 1663-1666 Jamestown, VA, Margaret Boyd (mother Thomas (2), Christopher, Abigail); (3 Mary Carter, widow of George Keeble (mother by Robert Beverley: 9 sons [of which Harry Beverley was my ancestor] and 3 dau., in marriage 12 y 2mns until she died 1 Jun 1678 Middlesex, Va.); (4. 28 Mar 1679,Va Catherine Armistead (Mrs. Hone).

So wife #3 Margaret Boyd is confused [in error] on web, pedigrees and her dates with #3 MARY CARTER BEVERLEY which church memorial has survived. Unfortunately only Mary Carter Beverley children KDM has: 1) Peter Beverley, 2nd (or 4th) Robert Jr., 3) Henry or Harry (3rd son), 4) N.N., 5?)

Thomas Elliott’s land sold to Robert Beverley in 1672 for Beverley’s plantation home (now called Prospect / Greys Point Plantation based on detailed information in the 2004 request to register a portion of the property with the National Register of Historic Places - link above) is within about 3,000 feet of the likely location of Patrick Miller’s-my 7th great grandfather (1620 Scotland - circa 1675 Middlesex Co., VA) land parcels Patrick purchased in the 1650’s (about 800 acres total). Patrick Miller and Thomas Elliott likely knew each other given they were born only 12 years apart and owned land within a few thousand feet apart. Patrick Miller (1620-c.1675) and Robert Beverley-95 (circa1635-1687) surely knew each other given they lived a few thousand feet apart. Patrick Miller arrived in Virginia by 1653 (year of his 1st land patent in now Middlesex Co., VA) and Robert Berverly immigrated to Virginia about ten years later (circa 1663).

The entrance of what is more recently called Greys Point Plantation off now Hwy 3 (just east of Hummel Air Field) is only a couple thousand feet above now called Millers Road (Hwy. 686) whose name likely was taken by Patrick Miller’s surname or one of Patrick Miller’s descendants known to have lived in this area in the 1600’s/1700’s.

Thomas Elliott was born in Kirk Deighton, Wetherby, England about 60 miles (via roadways) northwest of Hull, England where Robert Beverley was born (in or near Hull). Hull is on the Humber Bay off the North Sea, and Kirk Deighton is on a river that flows down to the Humber Bay.

Thomas Elliott (July, 1632 - circa 1718 Middlesex Co., VA) was the father and grandfather of the two Robert Elliott’s who were involved with Patrick Miller’s son and grandson’s wills (wills of John Miller in 1742 and Christopher Miller in 1755; my 6th and 5th great grandfathers). I do not kown if Thomas Elliott lived on the what is now called Greys Point Plantation given he would have only been 40 years old (many years prior to Thomas’ death) when he sold the property to Robert Beverley.

When the last of Robert Beverley’s heirs sold the property in 1748 to James Scrosby and it was sold by James’ son, John Scrosby to John Rome in 1789 it is described as “Greys Point Plantation and Old Ordinary”. So previous owners of the property (maybe as far back as Robert Beverley or Thomas Elliott?) had an Ordinary on the property. A number of my Miller’s are documented as owning taverns/ordinaries and stores. Items sold in the stores such as farm implements, clothing, kitchen ware, etc. mostly manufactured in England/Scotland were traded with planters for their tobacco to be shipped back to England and Glasgow, Scotland. The extremely successful Scottish store barter system for planter’s tobacco resulted in more tobacco being shipped to Glasgow than all of England by 1770.

Robert Beverley’s 1686 will can be found at: https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/viewer/122545/?offset=3#page=147&viewer=picture&o=search&n=0&q=Elliot

Major Robert Beverley-95 (c. 1635 Beverley, Yorkshire, England - 1687 Middlesex Co., VA; Christ Church Parish). Beverley is in/near Hull, England on the north side of Humber Bay on the North Sea. The fact he notes “my Brother Col. John Armistead" in his 1686 will seems to indicate that one of his wives with unknown surnames was an Armistead (Elizabeth or Mary). “Brother Col. John Armistead” is likely Col. John Armistead-4 (c. 1635 Elizabeth City Co., VA - after 3/18/1697 Gloucester Co., VA-Kingston Parish).

Col. John Armistead-4 did have a sister named Mary Armistead-64 (b-16450. No husband is listed for her on WikiTree.

Major Robert Beverley-95’s son, William Beverley-15 married Judith Wormeley (William died soon after the marriage). Judith Wormeley’s mother (Frances Armistead; c. 1642-1685) was the sister of Col. John Armistead-4. I am not sure if the brother of a person's son’s wife’s mother would be referred to as “Brother” in the late 1600’s. However this does indicate that there were connections between the family of Robert Beverley-95 and the family of Col. John Armistead-4; so one of Robert Beverley’s wives could have been an Armistead of this same family.

Judith Wormeley’s mother, Frances Armistead-13’s husband prior to Christopher Wormeley was Anthony Elliott-403 (c. 1610 Kirk Deighton, Yorkshire, England - 1665 likely in now Middlesex Co., VA). Anthony Elliott-403 is the grandfather of Robert Elliott-10714 (1668-c.1744 Middlesex Co., VA) who likely was the Robert Elliot (or his son of the same name) who witness my 6th great grandfather’s (John Miller; c. 1665-1742) will. His son, Robert Elliott-17068 [Jr.] was involved with my 5th great grandfather’s (Christopher Miller; c. 1708 - c. 1757) will. One of Christopher Miller’s properties joined Robert Elliott-17068 properties at the official tobacco inspection warehouse called Kemps Warehouse.

Kirk Deighton is located on the head waters of the River Ouse which flows into the Humber Bay about 60 miles to the west of Hull, England (where the Beverley family originates). I am beinging to narrow in on where my Scottish Miller Virginia merchants originated in Southern Scotland and northeast England. My Miller’s who arrived in Virginia in the early/mid 1600’s had a number of connections to several merchant families in southern Scotland and the upper 20 percent of England in the 1500’s and 1600’s such as the Armistead’s; Elliot’s/Elliott’s; Anderson’s; and Wilson’s.

Thanks for finding and posting about his will Jim!

As for "my Brother Col. John Armistead" - Armistead-4 is married to Judith Hone, and the Robert's profile text says Judith is the sister of his wife Katherine Hone - his wife at the time of the will - so it's probably "brother" in the sense of "brother-in-law" (his wife's sister's husband). And Katherine's profile includes text from her next husband's will that refers to "my loving sister, Mrs. Judith Armistead".

I think it's possible that daughter Mary married William Jones (after his 1686 marriage ended) and was widowed by him 1694. Which would have left her free to marry Salvator Muscoe. But their children (listed on Salvator's page) were born 1710-1718... she would have been about 45 in 1718 (Mary m Jones has birth year of 1672; Mary m Salvator has born June 28, 1678).
