This PETER BEVERLEY of the City of Hull, a man of humble origin, m.
Susannah Hollis in 1634. He was elected a free Burgess of St. Mary's
Parish in the borough of Hull. He appears to have had a son, Robert
Beverley. Susannah Hollis seems to have been the daughter of Robert
Hollis who in November 1626, was a member of the Society of Merchant
adventurers of Hull, and in 1647, was assistant to the Governor of the
company.
FRANCES FAIRFAX: Ref. "THE BEVERLEY FAMILY OF VA, McGill, 1956, p.5:
In 1597, Robert Beverley of the Parish of Fiskerton in the Co. of
Nottingham, Gent., married Frances, dau of Henry Fairfax of Bilboro, Co.
of York, and in 1598 Henry Fairfax named his son-in-law Robert Beverley
trustee under his Will. In 1650, William Beverley, the grandson of
Robert Beverley, the Immigrant, went to ENG with his wife and his son and
dau and Mrs. Beverley's nephew, Robert Munford and Wm. Henry Fairfax, son
of Col. Wm. Fairfax of Belvoir of the Lord Fairfax family of VA. The
brief diary kept by William Beverley on this trip shows that they visited
the Fairfax home "Toulson" in Yorkshire and that they later went to the
city of Hull where they met a cousin, Mrs. Phoebe Beverley, and received
a letter from another, a William Beverley, then living in Norwich.
William Beverley (who made the trip to England as aforesaid) was named by
Lord Fairfax as one of the commissioners in VA in the great Northern Neck
land controversy and the association of the families appears to have been
very close, leading to the surmise that Major Robert Beverley may have
descended from the Robert Beverley who married Frances Fairfax."
