Ann ( - ) Beamsley, wife of William Beamsley, was probably born about 1607, based on the birth of their eldest child. No record is found for Ann's last name at birth, according to Charles Robert Anderson.[1]

The immigration date given by Anderson for William Beamsley, husband of Ann, is 1632.[1][2] See William's profile for more information.

Ann married William Beamsley by 1632,[1][3] whether they married in England or America is unknown. They had six children, all born in Boston.[4] They might have been married by 1630 in England, as they are listed as husband and wife on the list of passengers of the Winthrop fleet.[5] William and Ann had the following children, all born in Boston:[1][6]
