In Reply to: Re: Was Charles Beaven's wife Mary actually Richard Marsham's step-daughter? by Todd Whitesides of 189

Its in Mary Louise Donnelly's "Beaven-Blanford-Clarkson-Mitchell, and Alllied Families of Maryland, Kentucky, U.S.A" Ennis, TX: Mary Louise Donnelly, 1997.

page. 2: "Martha, the first wife of Charles Beaven and the mother of all his children, died by 1688. By 12.8.1688, Charles Beaven married secondly Mary Marsham, the sister of Richard Marsham. On 12.8.1688 Mary Beaven, with Thomas Greenfield and Martha Greenfield, witnessed the will of Basil Waring, whose wife was Sarah Marsham, the daughter of Richard Marsham"

Donnelly's sited sources for this paragraph are:

W 6: 66-67, Calvert Co., MD (the W stands for either a Will or Warrant issued in Calvert County)

Here's a little background on Martha on the write up I did for Martha for my family - its from Donnelly's entry on Charles:

Lyonell Pauley made Charles his sole executor and was to receive all of his lands, goods, chattels both moveable and immoveable, after his debts were paid. His servant man William Anderson was to live with his executor until the crops were harvested and then was to be freed and to receive 100 acres of land. Nathan Smith received a tract of land, and Grace Deavers, the wife of Richard Deavers, received personality. On 10.2.1671 the Pauley estate was valued at 6639 pounds of tobacco. Martha, Captain Pauley’s wife, was not mentioned in the will or in any of the administrative accounts.

Charles married Martha after Pauley’s death and on 6.10.1672 sold to Nathan Smith 490 acres of land on the west side of the Chesapeake Bay between Lyons Creek and Herring Creek. Part of this acreage included “Beans and Bacon,” a part of “Dann” which Charles had received from Robert Paca “in his own right.” A thirty year mortgage was drawn up with the stipulation that the land was to become Nathan Smith’s or his heirs on 10.11.1703. This deed also stated that Charles was the lawful heir and executor of Lyonell Pauley. Robert Paca had given Pauley 80 acres of “Dann” when he married his daughter Martha and when Charles married her Paca gave him acreage of “Dann.”

In my book there was an order form to get the book from Donnelly. Her address is:

P.O. Box 97
Ennis, TX 75120
Phone: 972.875.6799

If you need anything else, just holler. I can always copy the pages out of the book and email or mail them to you.
