_______________________ Robert Beverley, second son of Maj. Robert and Mary Beverley, was born in Middlesex County, Va. His father had emigrated from Yorkshire, England, about 1663 and had become a leading tobacco planter, attorney, and militia officer. Young Robert, schooled in England, inherited his father's plantation and 6,000 acres from two half brothers. He began public life as a scrivener for the secretary of state while studying law and Virginia politics. In 1697 he married Ursula Byrd, the 16-year-old daughter of William Byrd. She died in child-birth the next year, leaving an only son, William. Beverley never remarried.



Anne Ursula Byrd was nicknamed "Nutty" by her father. Ursula, along with her brother William and sister Susan, were sent from VA back to England for her education. They lived with their maternal grandparents, Warham & Susanna Horsmanden, in Essex, England.

Robert & Ursula (Horsmanden) Beverly, Jr.(1673 - 1722) were married in January, 1698, and to this union 1 child was born. Ursula died from giving birth to son, William Beverly (1698–1756), but left behind a long line of Beverlys in Virginia. Anne Douglas Beverly was the 5th great granddaughter of Ursula Byrd and was married to Harry Flood Byrd, Jr., Virginia Governor and Senator. Harry Flood Byrd, Jr. was the 5th great grandson of Col. William Byrd, I. Harry Flood Byrd Jr. was also a Virginia Senator.

Some years prior to the Civil War, the tomb of Usurla (Byrd) Beverly remained in the churchyard at Jamestown, almost intact. A visitor fortunately copied the epitaph and sent it to a newspaper, which preserved it for posterity: : "Here lyeth the body of Ursula Beverley late wife of Robert Beverley and daughter of ye Hon'ble Col. William Byrd, who departed this life the last day of October 1698, being much lamented of all that knew her. Aged 16 years, 11 months and 2 daies." This epitaph is shown in the profile picture, which is of the sign in the graveyard in Ursala's memory.

During the years immediately preceding the war, the tomb was mutilated, and about 1861 only a piece containing the arms was left. Dr. Frank Hall, a Confederate soldier, while doing sentry duty in the churchyard, made, on July I, 1861, a sketch of the fragment. We are indebted to Miss Jane Chapman Slaughter for the copy of the drawing. Go to the Media section to see it.
