BECKWITH
Marmaduke Beckwith, son of Sir Roger Beckwith and Elizabeth Jennings of Gloucester, England was an immigrant to Virginia before 1665 who settled in Richmond County. Marmaduke married Maudlin Creed . Their children were Elizabeth, Jonathan and Grace.
Their daughter, Grace Beckwith, married
William Lucas
.
An amusing 1765 legal dispute between
Marmaduke Beckwith, Clerk of Richmond County, and Thomas Jones, Clerk of
Northumberland County has been published in the William and Mary Quarterly,
Series 1, Vol. 23, pages 259-260. ( A copy is in the manuscript As I Have
Been Told.) This is credited to the immigrant Beckwith, but the dates are
too late. Perhaps the son Jonathan named a son for the grandfather.
