the daughter of Albert Beckett (my great-great-grandfather)

the son of Thomas Washington Beckett (my great-great-great-grandfather)

the son of Josiah Beckett (my great-great-great-great-grandfather)

the son of Richard Beckett (my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather)

the son of John Beckett (my great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather)

the son of Humphrey Beckett (my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather)

the son of Henry Beckett (my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather)

the son of Oliver Beckett (my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather)

the son of Thomas Beckett(?). (my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather ?)

As far back as the 1500s.

P.S. There are a lot of Humphrey Becketts.
