Biography

The parents of this Thomas Beeson are presently unknown. Please read the Disambiguation Notice above. Also, please note that links to the Beeston line are proven false, the Beeston line died out (see short discussion at the boards.ancestry link in Sources), and were probably made simply to link to a Surety Baron via the link noted by Michael Stills in Comments in right Comments below the profile.

Name also found as Besson, Beason, Bezon, Beson^[1]

Thomas Besson was married to Anne Pecke on 5 November 1635 at the church of St Mary de Castro, Leicester. ^{[2] [3]}

Accordingly, his birth date has been re-estimated to about 1610, as has Anne Pecke's.

Research Notes

It appears due to dates (and a lack of documentation) that there is likely a missing generation between this Thomas and the man Edward presently attached as son. It has been suggested we would be looking for a Thomson, son of this profile, who married a Mary and had the son Edward.

Another Thomas Besson was married on 18 February 1635/6 at Barkby, Leicestershire, to Isabelle Jelly. That Thomas Besson was from Thrussington, which strongly suggests that this one was not. Accordingly that birth location has been detached. Clearly, that Thomas and Isabelle would not have been the parents of this Thomas Besson.

There is a Thomas Beeson bap 22 Mar 1628 Baddiley, Cheshire. Father is Richard^[4] but Cheshire seems unlikely given known records of son Edward.

Thrussington, Leicestershire (the location generally seen as place of birth) records prior to 1660 don't seem to be available electronically from the PRO and records after 1660 now appear to be a paid service providing printed copies of parish registers (or an in person visit). (See Note Above)

Regarding son Edward's birth, "The records of the parish of Thrussington in Leicestershire show that Edward Beeson, son of Thomas and Ann Beeson, was christened there February 24, 1660." Source^[5] states: Louis Jones, Richmond, IN , generously provided copies of his research, done at the Company of Genealogists in London. (This is highly unlikely, given the recorded date of their marriage as 1635. ~~ Hacker-831)

The marriage record appears in various searches of indexes but with the date reading 1635. Transcription error or not the correct marriage record?
