Jethro Beal of Farringdon

[MacGrigor]

Hello,

Jethro's wife was Anne and the couple were christening children in Farringdon in the mid 1750s. Jethro was buried in Farringdon on the 19th of May 1781, with an estimated year of birth of around 1724. There was one Jethro Beal who was rector of Farringdon in the 1650s, so there's a good chance the two are related. I'm interested in a marriage or baptism for Jethro.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Adam
This is probably the marriage:
02 May 1749 Beal Jethro & Harrison Anne at Farringdon
And there are two baptisms so the first Jethro probably died:
12 Dec 1715 Son of Jethro Jethro & Eliz Beal at Farringdon
13 Apr 1724 Son of Jethro Jethro & Eliz Beal at Farringdon

That's great! Thanks so much! Is there anything you can find on Jethro Sr.?

Jethro seniors possible burial is on familysearch, maybe other information -have you looked there

I'll take a look now. I'm hoping it will trace back to the rector of Farringdon by the same name!

According to Google he was Oxford-educated, if I recall correctly.

Thanks Peter! This line of Jethros seems to be leading perfectly back to the Jethro Beal that was rector until his 1658 death. Is that where records stop, or can you dig any further back? I'm very grateful to you for all of this!
