About Capt. John Beardsley
A History of the Old Town of Stratford and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut :
3. Capt. John, son of William and Mary Beardsley, born in England in 1633, came to Stratford with his father in 1639. He m. Hannah , and bad his residence for several years at the south end of Stratford village, but ¡n 1668 he had a house at Pequonnock.f where he was among the earliest settlers. He was confirmed lieutenant of the train band in 1685, and captain of the first company in Stratfield, where he was a prominent member of the ecclesiastical society about 20 years. He died Nov. 19, 1718, aged 85 years. His will was dated Jan. 21, 1714-15, and proved Nov. 25, 1718, and the inventory of his estate was dated Dec. 3, 1718. His estate west of Peq_uoniiock river he gave one-third to his wife Hannah, one-third to John, son "of my brother Daniel," and one-third to John Fairchild, son of Alexander Fairchild. Of his other property he gave a considerable portion to, as he says, " My kinswoman, Deborah Fairchild, wife of Alexander Fairchild ;" and he had given her in 1704, five acres ol land, south of Golden Hill. The word kinswoman and kinsmnn was used in those days ¡n several instances of persons known to be nephews and nieces, and therefore it is concluded that Deborah, who m. Alexander Fairchild, was the daughter of his brother, Thomas Beardsley, of Stratford, who died in 1676. leaving several children, and that she was brought up by Capt. John Beardsley, and hence the reason for giving her and her son so much of his estate.
He liberated his slave by the following instrument: " Be it known unto all men by these presents that I, John Beardsley, in the county of Fairfield, farmer, have remised, released, acquitted and by these presents do for me, my heirs or assigns have freely and fully given my Negro man his time and freedom at my decease and have given him a dowry of my estate if he doth stand in need hereof, and have given him my horse that was called my wife's horse, as witness my hand this 25th day of December, 1717.
"John Beardsley, his mark."
He left a widow, Hannah, who died after him in the same year, but he left no children.
