Dear Brad,

You have more lines via Joan Beaufort to Edward III, but I have also lines
via Edmund of Langley (once) and Lionel of Antwerp (twice).

Subject: Descents From Edward III For Sir Marmaduke Beckwith, 3rd Baronet


> Sir Marmaduke Beckwith, 3rd Baronet, of Aldborough, Yorkshire
> (1687-1780), who became a settler in the colony of Virginia, may be
> the gateway ancestor to America with the most descents from Edward
> III. There are at least 10 from Joan Beaufort alone, with a very
> probable 11th one from her (Line K below), as well as possibly others
> (I need to track down more information on the Gascoignes of Sedbury -
> Line D below). Remarkably, though Sir Marmaduke Beckwith appears in
> PA3 (p. 413), none of his Edward III descents are given in that book.
> For anyone interested in this gateway, they are given below. I know
> from Leo's database that at least one Edward III descent is given in

> The only source cited in PA3 for Sir Marmaduke Beckwith is
