Notes for Charity GRUBB
In "the Grubb Family of Pennsylvania and Delaware" by Gilbert Cope on page 5, under the head of children of John and Frances Grubb, one finds the following:
"4. Charity Grubb married before her father's death, Richard Beeson, son of Edward Beeson, of New Castle County, and later of Nottingham, on the borders of Maryland. They be came Friends, and in 1728 Nottingham Meeting gave her the endorsement of minister. Five years later they removed to Leacock, Lancaster County, and after a few years sojourn thers, went to Frederick Co., Virginia. In a letter to her sister, Phebe written 12th of 11 mo. 1742-3, Charity says: "My son William hath a daughter born the 30th of last month, and calls her name Welmett." This unusual name was doubtless given in remembrance of the ancestress in far away Cornwall and is strong evidence that Henry of Burlington, and John of New Castle County, were brothers. A memorandum, made a few years later, gives the children and grand-children of Richard and Charity Beeson as follows:
"John, married to Grace Varman, had a son, Nathaniel; Richard, married to Anne Brown, had Charith, Hannah, Richard, Messar, Jacob, Henry, John and Edward; Charity married to Mordecai Mendenhall had Richard, John, Thomas, Moses and Stephen; Phebe, married to John Harris, had Elizabeth, Charity, Richard, Phebe and Dinah; Edward, married to Martha--had Edward, Charity, Mary and Micajah; Benjamin was the father of Isaac, Benjamin, William, Francis and Richard. William had Welmet, Charity, and Rachel. Stephen was the father of Stephen, Micajah and Phebe."
All of the children of the sons, Benjamin and William, were probably not born when this memorandum was made. They moved from Hopewell, VA and settled in North Carolina 3-6-1751, and the records of the entire family of each are to be found in the Minutes of New Garden Quarterly Meeting, now at Guilford College, North Carolina, in Volume I. The complete family record of Benjamin Beeson (11-VI) is to be found in the first genealogy of this publication, land that of William (12-VII) in the Beeson Genealogy by Pervis H. Beeson.
