RB: I posted the "not Mary Keeble" when I first started doing genealogy. I don't have the info. with me, I have it
stored at the farm. I hope I am right, but Mary Keeble may
have been her 1st marriage name. I think the correct name
is Mary Carter Keeble Beverley. Keeble was a member of the
House of Burgesses near the time Robt. Beverly was. He
married Mary after Kebble died. I think Robt and Mary had
Peter, Robert, Jr. Mary, John and maybe another. She must have had 4 or 5 with Keeble. Robt. had 4 or 5 with Catherine Armistead ("Hone," her 2nd marriage) and only children at the time. It was Robt's 3rd marriage.
I read somewhere recently, Bacon burned down the Christs
Church. So that could be the reason she was buried under
the church, they put the new one over the top of graves or
just hers, I don't know if this is true or not. He did
have a lot of pull, and he was kin to Fairfax and a dis-
tant to Gov. Berkley.
It was a very tight click at that time, ea. men wanted to
marry rich, descendants to royalty, etc. If Mary Carter was her name, she was the descendant to the King Carter bunch, that was a rich land owner, one of the richest at that time.
Robt. was no different from the rest of the men, I am sure
Mary was left well provided in wealth. She was older than
Robt. also. Catherine Armistead was the sister of John and
a friend to Robt. Robt. and John had land together once.
They were in this click with the Byrds,
Carters, Shirleys, later the Lees, and many more. Then
when Robt. died, Catherine married another rich man,
Robinson that was in the Burgesses also. Robt. Jr. married
a Byrd. Peter and Robert were asigned to care for John, he
picked Robt. when he became of age. Robt. talked him into
selling him his inheirentance. John married and and moved
to Albermerle with his wifes famil, with her father giving
him a few hundred acres. They remained in NC, and had
John Jr. and a few others. John Jr. had a dau. named Ann
Beverley, she married Thomas Conner, a military man. Both
Johns were also. John Jr. was a capitan in the indian wars, burning down indian villages, their crops, etc. One
of the men in his company came to Nacogdoches, TX, he was
a Wm. Sparks, filed for a pension and by then John and
others could not verify he was every in the war for a
pension. The Co. refused his pension. That can be found on the internet by putting in something like Wm. Sparks pension in Nacogdoches Co., TX. It tells about their activities. Over the years he lost any proof. (My family married into a Sparks descendant of his
I can be reached at beverlyhuckestein@aol.com or the
bandbcon@yahoo.com either. It is a very interesting family
to search. I did find Robt. St. was related to every Royal
all over Europe thru his mother and jumping around in the
relations. The most interesting tale is abt. the desc. of Robt. Sr., a great grandparent I think, that stormed the nunnery and kidnapped a love. He was a Knight, with others and took her to the nearest church and married her. (I know my dau. always said to me, I wish a Knight in shiny armor would take me away like the fairy tale.) I found that on search also.
