  Biographical Note	John Beeby was called second son in his father’s will in 1622. In an Indenture (162/361) 0n 17/11/Charles 5th year (1631) John Bebye of Broughton (and his wife Rebecca) sold land in Great Addington to his elder brother James of Islip, both referred to as sons of John Bebye, deceased. John died 18 May 1650 while on his way to America. He left five sons and two daughters. He left England in April or May 1650 and was accompanied by his five children. Two sons, John and Samuel, preceded him to America and his daughter Hannah and wife Rebecca probably died before he started. His will was written and signed on shipboard on the day he died, at which time his eldest son was twenty-two and his youngest child eight. He appointed William Lewis and John Cole executors of his will. The immigrants reach their destination in the latter days of May 1650 and it is probable that the ship reached a port in the neighborhood of Cape Ann, MA. for it is recorded the Rev. Mr. Blinman administered to the spiritual interests of this Colony and that hr, with a party including the Beebes, had moved to New London, CT by March 1651,where they were prominent in the early settlement of that place. Note: Many sources give birth dates of John and Rebecca’s children which are really the dates they were baptized in England. Rebecca: She was of Broughton, Northamptonshire, England and was the sister of Samuel and Rev. Nathaniel Ladd of Broughton. In the will of Samuel Ladd, dated 23Sep 1634 'To sister Rebecca Beebe, 5 pounds. To her son Samuel, my grandson, 5pounds. To each of her other children, viz.: to John, Thomas, Rebecca, 10 shillings, being 1 pound, 10 shillings in all.' This account is compiled by Alan D. Henry, 1199 Ashland Dr., Temperance, MI. 48182.
