Bethiah GEDNEY md Andrew Lynn MANSFIELD
I has been awhile since anyone posted info on Bethiah.
Try website:www://google.books.com then search by family & individual names.
What I have
John Gedney Sr (1603-1688) immigrated 5/10/1637 with his 25 year old Wife [thus b ca 1612], Sarah "Mary" Bartholomew on the ship MARY ANNE of Yarmouth [England].John was listed as a weaver of Norwich, England.With them at immigration were 4 children: Bethiah b 1629, Lydia b 1630/31, Hannah b 1634 & John Jr b 1637(2 months old).All PROBABLY born in Norwich, England.
After arriving in Salem, Essex, MA, they had Mary b 1638, Bartholomew [Sr] b 1640, Eleazer [Sr] b 1641/2, Sarah 1644, and Elijah "Eli" b 1648.
Sarah Mary Gedney died abt 1648 [perhaps during or as a result of childbirth of Eli b 1648].
After her death he married Katherine "Callie" Clarke, widow of William Clarke, who had owned the 'Ship Tavern' and Clarke's Farm in Salem, Essex, MA.Upon the sudden death of William in 1647, the operation of the tavern (ordinary) was awarded to 'Callie'.After her marriage to John Gedney Sr, he gained control of both the tavern and farm.
Willam & "Callie" Clarke are my 9th great-grandparents by way of their daughter, Sarah who married Capt George [sr] Davis in the early 1640's
John Sr & Sarah Mary Gedney are my husband's 9th great-grandparents by way of their daughter Bethia (1629-1671) and her husband Sgt Andrew Lynn Mansfield (1623-1683)
In the 1684 WILL of John Gedney (see posting #60)
John refers to a *Bethiah Hutchinson, living with him & says she is the D/O Joseph Hutchinson.(Thus not John's daughter Bethia)
