November 29, 2011. Comment Jack Dudley - The Will of
William Beasley who died in 1832 said his wife was Lydia.
The Will does not mention the names of the children. However it may be
because they were too young. This may be the parents of Lydia Beasley
Ansell. She would
have had a Brother. His name was Henry born 1817.
