A copy of oil painting below is provided by George Wilson of
Belfast, N. Ireland as a general rendition of ship design in 1841.
The copy of an oil painting below ostensibly depicts the good ship
Speedwell docked in the harbor of New London, Connecticut. It
is donated by John
Quibble of Morgan, Wales.
NOTE: History suggests the Speedwell sailed with the Mayflower in
1620, but was forced to returned to England for repairs.
In 1821 it sailed in 1621 to Plymouth, MA and then crossed the
ocean several times before 1650.
Note; One version claimed the sailors sabotaged the ship out of fear
to get out of their agreement to sail the ship to
America.

More about Thomas Beebe and

Information kindly provided by Jim Kyle.
Thomas Beebe was born about 1535 in Borough of Kettering,
Northampton, England.
His grandson, John Beebe died 1650 during the crossing of the SS
Speedwell. John had five sons and two daughters named in his
will.
One of my wife's Beebe cousins has traced back a couple more
generations before that; it's pretty much all on my WorldConnect
page.

1850 Milton came from Geauga County, Ohio, to Iowa near Keokuk,
Lee County, Iowa in 1849.
Enumerated 1850 census in Montrose Township he was newly married
and a wagon maker.
His bride, Leanah Van Ausdell was born in 1826 in Lawrence County
Ohio.
Her parents were William and Polly (Hedrick) Van Ausdell, whom
were both born in Ohio.
Was the surname Van Ausdell Dutch? |

1851 Milton and Leanah located Shelby County and lived in
Picune Twp. near Manteno, Iowa. Between 1851 and 1857 Milton was the
first elected county sheriff.
Although a wagon maker by trade, Milton was a successful Merchant,
active in public affairs and the elected Sheriff of Shelby County for
five years.
Five children were born between 1851 and 1860:
Luella G, (m Isaac Fouts).
Georgianna V. (m George
Williamson)
Cornelius A. (m Mary Williamson)
(2gfather)

Mary M. (m Marion
Hawley) |

They left Iowa in 1857 so Kate and Mary were born in MO or KS,
between 1858 and 1865.
In 1857 Milton's sister Enira of Council Bluffs with husband
Robert Dunning also moved to Wyandotte Co. Find Dunning family data
here.
Grandma Williamson Beebe and Grandma Beebe Pruitt told me Milton
was robbed and murdered on his way home from the Civil War. May have
been about 1865.
1866 The widow Leanah with five children returned to Shelby
County, Iowa. Here the Williamson and Beebe families connect by
marriage. |

In the joint Williamson/Beebe bio Chauncey Williamson came to the
Council Bluffs, Iowa area.
In 1869 his wife Elizabeth died at age 39 years.
In 1872 Chauncey wed the Widow Beebe.
Essentially The Beebe and Williamson children grew up in the
Williamson household. Several of the Beebe and Williamson kids married
each other.
Cornelius Alvero Beebe married Mary Elizabeth Williamson.
Estimated date of marriage 1884 and the place the LDS Church in Manteno,
Shelby Co. Iowa. Elizabeth would have been 20 years old then.
Their first child was Milton who was born in Shelby County.
Milton finally married very late in life, at about the age of 60. There
were no children from that union. The remaining children were born in
Belton, MO.
