Biography
Marmaduke Beckwith, Knt., 3rd Baronet, was the second son of Roger Beckwith, Baronet, and his second wife, Elizabeth Jennings.[1][2][3][4][5] He was baptised at Ripon Cathedral, Yorkshire on 23 January 1687/8: the baptism record says his father was of Bondgate (in Ripon), and this suggests that Marmaduke may have been born there.[6][7]
Marmaduke's father fatally shot himself on 6th December 1700.[3] It is unknown when Marmaduke emigrated to Virginia, but he is thought to have settled in Richmond County, Virginia between 1700[8] and 1708,[9] when he was appointed clerk of the court of Richmond County, Virginia. Marmaduke remained in the role of county clerk until about 1740[3] or possibly until 1748.[10] He likely received a reference from his uncle, Sir Edmund Jennings, Attorney-General of Virginia, to help him get this position.
Marmaduke's brother, Roger, had succeeded their father as baronet.[1] Roger died in 1743 (like his father, Roger also shot himself)[2] and left no surviving issue, so Marmaduke succeeded Roger as baronet as he was the only surviving brother and male heir.[1][5]
Marriage and Children
Marmaduke married Elizabeth Brockenbrough, daughter of William Brockenbrough and Mary Newman[3][11] and widow of Thomas Dickenson of Richmond, who died in 1714/5. Marmaduke and Elizabeth married about 1716.[12] The couple had four sons and four daughters:
- Tarpley,[3] born 2 October 1718 in North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia.[13][14] died 7 November 1748[11]
- Jonathan, Knt., 4th Baronet,[1][3][5] was born 14 November 1720,[15] died 6 December 1796; married Rebecca Barnes[16][11]
- Marmaduke,[3] married Sybil Elsie;[11] Marmaduke was living in Virginia in 1771[1]
- Roger,[3] who married Winifred Miskell.[11] He was named by Marmaduke as a son in a deed of gift of slaves dated 21 May 1779.[17] See research note, below.
- Elizabeth (Betty), born 15 August 1723[18] and died 7 April 1726[16][13][11]
- Margaret, who married Joseph Morton.[3][19][20] She was born 27 July 1725[16][13] or 29 July 1725[11][21]
- Mary, who married Lawrence Butler,[3] was born 12 June 1727[16][13][22] and died 3 December 1755[11]
- another Elizabeth,[3] named by Marmaduke as a daughter in a deed of 6 November 1732 giving three slaves in trust for his daughters Margaret, Mary and Elizabeth[23]
Lands
Lands at Aldburgh (near Masham, in the North Riding of Yorkshire) and Walburn (near Downholme, North Riding of Yorkshire) were held by the Beckwith family.[24][25] In 1711 Marmaduke's brother Roger, Marmaduke and their wives came to an agreement with James Mickleton and Thomas Norton relating to the manors of Walburn and Aldbrough (Aldburgh).[26] The exact nature of this agreement is uncertain: the manors were not sold out of the Beckwith family until 1755.[24][25]
Death
Administration of Marmaduke's estate was granted to his son Jonathan by a court in Richmond County, Virginia on 6 November 1780, so he died before then, probably in that year.[27] An inventory of his estate was returned to the Richmond County, Virginia court in July 1790.[28]
The Beckwith Baronetcy became either extinct or dormant on the death of Marmaduke's son, Jonathan, the fourth Baronet.[5]
Research Notes
An Earlier Marmaduke Beckwith
This Marmaduke was apparently a second of the name. An earlier Marmaduke, "son of Sir Roger, baronett" is found in 1686: "Marmaduke Beckwith, Burial 31 Dec 1686, Yorkshire, North Riding, Masham: St Mary, Burial person abode: Aldburgh"[29]
Daughter Penelope
Richardson and others state that Marmaduke and Elizabeth had a daughter named Penelope, wife of Alexander Walker,[3][11] but no evidence has been found to substantiate that connection. It is more likely that Penelope was a daughter of Marmaduke's son, Jonathan.
The Index to Marriages of Old Rappahannock and Essex Counties, Virginia, 1655-1900 names the Penelope who married Alexander Walker as the daughter of Marmaduke's son Jonathan.[30] Further, a lawsuit filed 9 June 1799 between Alexander Walker and Penelope his wife and Jennings Beckwith gives some additional information on Penelope: Jennings and Penelope were siblings and children of Sir Jonathan Beckwith who had died in December 1796; Alexander and Penelope were married in 1797; the lawsuit was abated in October 1799 due to the death of Penelope. Sir Marmaduke, Penelope's grandfather, gave Penelope and her sister, Elizabeth "two negroes" by deed dated 4 June 1764. During their minority, their father, Jonathan took the negroes as guardian. Elizabeth married Thomas Jones and died in 1777 without issue.[31]
Daughter Rebecca
A 1904 article in The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography mentions another daughter, Rebecca, said to have married John Bellfield.[32] No sourcing is given. The same is said in a not very reliable 1891 book on the Beckwiths[33] which appears to be the source for an entry in the American Biographical-Genealogical Index for a Rebecca Belfield (Beckwith), said to have been born 1730-1739.[34] Rebecca, wife of Major John Bellfield is also named as a daughter of Marmaduke and Elizabeth in Virginia Heraldica[16] - which is likely the source for the above.
According to Marriages of the Northern Neck of Virginia, U.S., 1649-1800, John Bellfield is said to have married Mary Beckwith, daughter of Roger Beckwith and Winifred Miskell, and granddaughter of the Sir Marmaduke Beckwith of this profile and his wife Elizabeth.[35] The American Biographical-Genealogical Index gives John Bellfield a birth date of 1750:[36] this is not a reliable source, but if the birth date of 1750 is right, it is unlikely John Bellfield would have married a daughter of Marmaduke.

Through his mother, Elizabeth Jennings, he is a descendant of Magna Carta Surety Barons Saher de Quincy, John de Lacy, Gilbert de Clare and Richard de Clare in trails that were project approved/badged in May 2015 by the Magna Carta Project. Badged trails to William d'Aubigny and Robert de Ros were connected later.

1.) Elizabeth Beckwith, daughter, in 1732: "I have found a record that shows that Marmaduke had another daughter named Elizabeth, still alive in 1732: See the attached abstract from a Richmond County “account book” that shows Marmaduke giving “my three daughters Margaret, Mary and Elizabeth” each a slave. The order that the daughters are named implies their chronological order. Margaret is seven, Mary is five. We would expect Elizabeth to be about three (1729). Unfortunately, the parish register does not show any entries for Marmaduke’s family after 1727, though this document shows Marmaduke was still living in North Farnham Parish in 1732. This account book record shows that all three daughters are under age 14, or born after 1718."
2.) Roger Beckwith, son, proven. 21 May 1779. Sir Marmaduke Beckwith, Baronett, of Lunenburg Parish, Richmond County, Va., to my son Roger of the parish and county aforesaid, deed of gift, slaves Willowby, Mary, and Will, reserving the their use during my lifetime.

I believe there is a daughter of Marmaduke Beckwith that is missing from the profile - Rebecca. I believe she married George Brown (Browne-2153). I have some pretty good information on her that I would like to share: Note: Some published genealogies claim that Rebecca Beckwith married Maj. John Belfield (1751-1792), but Marriages of the Northern Neck of Virginia 1649-1800 show that Maj. John Belfield married Mary Beckwith, daughter of Roger Beckwith and Winifred Miskell. This Rebecca Beckwith would have been abt. 22 years OLDER than Maj. John Belfield, making that supposed union unlikely.
Sir Marmaduke Beckwith made a deed of gift to Mary Brown (daughter of George Brown) in Fauquier Co, Virginia. Her brother was named Marmaduke Brown...

This profile needs an overhaul by the Magna Carta Project. I cannot guarantee when that will be done (there is a long list of profiles needing an overhaul by the Project), but the evidence on what children Marmaduke had can be looked at further when that is undertaken. If anyone can find firm primary evidence earlier, great!

The Belfield connection is likely wrong. First step is to make sure she exists as part of Marmaduke's family.

Marriages of the Northern Neck of Virginia suggests that John Bellfield’s wife was a granddaughter of Marmaduke's. Chronologically, that makes much more sense. I have covered this in the notes I have now added.
