Thomas "Beeson" marriage to Ann Swanton 3 August 1642 at Lavenham https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9BT-HQF7-7 There are also: Ann, daughter of Thomas "Beston" baptized 10 February 1642/3 at Lavenham https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9BT-HQ6G-P Ann, daughter of Thomas "Besen" buried 31 May 1646 at Lavenham https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9BT-HQ6L-G Thomas, son of Thomas Besson, baptized 12 January 1646/7 at Lavenham https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9BT-HQ6P-5 John, son of Thomas "Beeson" baptized 19 October 1650 at Lavenham https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9BT-HQ6P-Q In 1658 Thomas Besson claimed land in Maryland for transporting his family in 1649. Unless in claiming land he gave the wrong year and John died before the transportation, he would not be the Thomas of Lavenham. Also, if he is the Thomas in Virginia in 1638, he would have had to have gone back to England and married and had children born there to be the Thomas at Lavenham.

Yes, this family is a bit confusing. Maybe we can entice someone local to Lavenham to help. Thank you for all of your work on the Besson family.
