The Beeson family can be traced back several more generations. Little else is known about Elizabeth Hunter and, like so many bits of info online, I am not yet aware of the original source for her maiden name. Perhaps it will appear in the Frederick County Friends Minutes.

Parents: Elizabeth's parents are unproven. She cannot be daughter of John Hunter and Margaret Albin because John Hunter's will list his daughter Elizabeth as "Elizabeth Steel." An Elizabeth Hunter married a Robert Steel and they died leaving two orphans before 1736, therefore I would deduce that this Elizabeth Steel is John and Margaret's daughter, not Elizabeth Hunter Beeson. Other user-submitted records say her father was Jacob Hunter, but John and Nicholas Hunter also appear. Her mother is given variously as Margaret Albin or Albans, Sarah Hill, and called Rebecca Hardy on the record that gives Nicholas Hunter as her father. I suspect, but am far from certain, that the Elizabeth Hunter who was the daughter of Nicholas and Rebecca is a different person.
Elizabeth, whose surname, dates and parents are uncertain, was probably born about 1718 and died after 2 Jul 1794 when she was mentioned in her husband's will.
She married Benjamin BEESON Sr, son of Richard BEESON and Charity GRUBB, on 14 Jun 1738 at Hopewell MM, Frederick County, VA; children (dob old style; surname BEESON):
