Biography

Registered Beardsley - Beardslee Study Member #8022

John Beardsley is a descendant of the immigrants William Beardsley and Mary Harvie.

John Beardsley is a descendant of the immigrant William Beardsley. Testing currently indicates that William's male lineage belongs to Y DNA haplogroup I-L1483, Analysis of a FTDNA Big Y test.

John Beardsley is a member of the Beardsley Name Study Project.

My paternal linage is traced to William Beardsley and his wife Mary Harvie who immigrated to the American continent in 1635 aboard the ship Planter. My branch had been broken from the tree, and I've spent 30+ years researching and reconnecting.

My maternal lineage is traced to John Wolcott and his wife Mary Wrentmore. John immigrated to the American continent in 1634 aboard the ship Recovery. The Wolcott family has always maintained a strong tradition of preserving their history.

There are, of course, many more families whose surnames are part of my ancestral heritage. I honor and cherish them all.

I am the Project Administrator for the Beardsley / Beardslee surname project at ftdna. See the About Us Page & Beardsley/Beardslee - Y-DNA Classic Chart. If you are interested in exploring the Beardsley family's shared genetic information please consider joining.
