Notes for Mathew BECKWITH
He was the first of his family to emigrate to New England, first appearing in Hartford, Connecticut in 1645 when he bought a homestead. A few years later he was at New London and Lyme, his land lying in the two towns, and provided well for all his sons. He was killed by a fall in the darkness of night over a ledge of rocks.
291 He was Elizabeth's first husband.
“My husband's earliest Beckwith ancestor is Matthew Beckwith. The family tree says he bought a lot in Hartford in 1615, but that is too early! Maybe it was supposed to be 1645. Then bought land in Lyme and New Long about 1651.”
