Beach, Elizabeth

Notes:

He first appears in the records of New Haven, Connecticut, on 7-Jun-1643. It
is universally believed, based on a variety of circumstantial evidence, that
John Beach was the brother of Richard and Thomas Beach, both of whom also
settled in New Haven between 1639 and 1646. John later moved to Stratford,
Connecticut, c. 1660. He owned land in Wallingford, but does not seem to have
lived there himself.

Notes for MARY:
She was NOT, as some claim, Mary Staples, daughter of Thomas Staples. The
early New England genealogists confused John Beach(1) with his son, John
Beach, Jr.(2). It was the latter who married Hannah, the daughter of Thomas
Staples. Mary, the wife of John Beach(1), is mentioned only once - at the
birth of the youngest son Benjamin(2) - such that it is possible she was a
second wife. She is not named in the administration of her husband's estate,
and so probably died before him.
