- In Matthew Beckwith, Hartford Founder, the Society of the Descendants of the Founders of Hartford warns: "Genealogy not recommended: “The Beckwiths”, Paul Edmond Beckwith, Albany, 1891. This genealogy, which contains a totally fabricated English lineage, is filled with errors, has a son Benjamin2, who never existed, and was thoroughly debunked in “The American Genealogist” articles by Simeon Fox."

In 1931 my great-grandfather wrote (in Descendants of John_Smith_of_Lancaster, Mass.) that this this book was considered to be "a fraud throughout." If it was widely regarded as a fraud 90 years ago, why should we pretend that it is good?

This book by Paul Edmonds published in 1891 does not contain any sources for documenting any of the claims made by Mr. Beckwith. It has be found to be full of errors, or outright lies. No certified genealogist would use the information in this book without additional sources. I am a Beckwith descendant, and have checked with many genealogist and the Jametown Society. There is no record of a William Beckwith (or any Beckwith) or any Baskerville for that matter, living in Jamestown. (a William Beckwith, tailor) is listed on a ship to Jamestown, but no record of a William Beckwith living there, being married, or having a child in Jamestown. Records show the living, and those who died during the "starving" times, as well and the Census required by King James I, and no record of "Beckwith"
