  [S122] Genealogy. com, http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/beverly/829/. This is, of course, my husband's line; not mine. Currently teaching a genealogy class and what good luck that one of the fellows taking the class is also connected to the eluesive John. Most of us have been snared by John McGill's book where he gives John as a son of the second wife, Katherine Hone. No dates given and the assumption (I believe printed somewhere) that he "died young." * It appears that John was the son of Mary. 1688 April 2 (Middlesex Order Book 2 1680-1694,pg. 344) orphaned at age 13 [making him born in 1675; Maj. Robert md. Katherine Hone 28 Mar 1679], John chooses Peter Beverley as his guardian.He was in England, along with Peter (the eldest) as well as the other brothers Harry and Robert. 1690 Sep 1 (Middlesex Order Book 2,pg. 482) Robert Beverley (jr) is appointed John's guardian, 1693 Nov 13 (at age approx. 18) (Middlesex Order Book 2, pg. 657) 'Mr. John Beverley chooses Mr. William Elliott as his guardian."** WHY at this age would John need a guardian? Any comments? new information? etc.? If the above is correct then here would, I think, be the list of Major Robert Beverley's children by Mary: Peter b. 1668 d.1728 Robert (The Historian) b. 1673 d. 1722 JOHN b. 1675 (goes to NC) Harry b. --d. 1730 Mary b. -- m. 1694 Wm. Jones (K&Q co VA) Leaving children by Katherine: Williambapt. 1680 Thomas Christopher bapt. 1686 Catherine md. John Robinson Hopefully, more pieces of the puzzle will be put together over the next several weeks. Trevia Woster Beverly, Houston TX treviawbeverly@comcast.net [S48] Ancestry Link, http://person.ancestry.com/tree/75843053/person/36478919963/story. William Jones was born in 1675. He married Mary Beverley in June 1693 in Middlesex County, Virginia. They had one child during their marriage. He died in King and Queen County, Virginia. She had one son, James Jones.(1705-1745)Then Mary Beverly married John Langhorne; Daughter Lockey (1723-1782) married Thomas Tabb.(1719-1782) When Lockey Langhorne was born in 1723 in York County, Virginia, her father, John, was 28 and her mother, Mary, was 45. She married Thomas Tabb in 1739 in Charles City, Virginia. They had nine children in 17 years. She died in April 1782 in Cumberland, Virginia, at the age of 59.Mary was the 12th child in the Beverley home. Her mother died soon after her birth. To understand her marriage at age 41 to John Langhorne (who was 17 years younger), we need to know the three rules for marriage in colonial Virginia. 1: The elite families were very much into class structure so that intermarriage among the elites was a requirement. 2: Marriages to the widowed were no problem. 3: Money and real estate holdings counted hugely. As for elite status, John Langhorne?s grandfather, Capt. John Langhorne, and Mary?s father, Maj. Robert Beverley, had been close friends and colleagues, both owning vast tobacco plantations with fine homes in early Virginia. Together with William Byrd they had been responsible for fortifying the major rivers of the colony from attack. As for wealth and real estate, Mary had married William Jones III in 1694 when she was only 16. He had inherited large landholdings from his father, Capt. William Jones, who was a member of the House of Burgess. All this made her a desirable catch as a widow. Despite her age, Mary became the mother of three children: two successful sons, Maj. Maurice Langhorne II and Maj. William Langhorne, and one daughter, Lockey Langhorne, who was a sought after heiress with the highest social status and wealth to boot.- Sandra Powell44 ________________ Lockey Langhorne s the sole heir of John Langhorne, Maurice Langhorne (1670-1698) inherited a huge estate. Around 1690 he married Anne Cary of "The Forest". Anne Cary was the daughter of Capt. Henry Cary, a planter who was well known as the master builder of Williamsburg. The marriage of Maurice Langhorne to Anne Cary was a good one, for the Carys were one of the wealthiest and most influential families in the Virginia Colony. In 1695, Maurice and Anne Langhorne had their only child, whom they named John Langhorne. Within three short years Maurice Langhorne died, and young John was sent to "The Forest" to be raised by his maternal grandparents Henry and Judith Cary. Anne Cary Langhorne soon remarried, a member of another prominent Tidewater family, Benjamin Harrison III of Charles City County. Until John Langhorne III (1695-1767) reached his majority, the Harrison family operated Gambell plantation. For the next twenty years, John Langhorne would spend his days in the polite atmosphere of the Cary plantation. When in his early twenties however, John Langhorne III had become anxious for his own personal success. Thus in 1719, he took over Gambell and married Mary Beverley of Middlesex County. Mary Beverley was a granddaughter of Capt. John Langhorne's old friend and contemporary Maj. Robert Beverley. Throughout his long career, Hon. John Langhorne served as a Justice of the Peace, a member of the House of Burgesses, Sheriff of Warwick County, and Presiding Justice of Warwick County from 1749-1762. In addition to his numerous political duties, John Langhorne III continued to expand his land holdings by purchasing new plantations in Chesterfield County, and was also a highly successful merchant, continuing the tradition laid out by his fortune-founding grandfather some fifty years before. John Langhorne and Mary Beverley had three children who left issue. Their only daughter Lockey (named after Judith Lockey, the wife of Capt. Henry Cary and mother of Anne Cary) was successfully courted by Thomas Tabb. Lockey's considerable dowry helped to establish the Tabb family as members of the Tidewater elite. The elder son, Maj. Maurice Langhorne II (1719-1790) removed to Cumberland County to live near his cousin Col. Archibald Cary of "Ampthill" and his lovely wife, the former Mary Randolph of "Curles". This Maurice Langhorne bought thousands of acres in Cumberland and established himself as a great success in his own right.
