"John Beekman of New York City and Some of His Descendants"
Mrs. L. Sprague DeCamp
NYGBR v81 p134
"Theophilus married Elizabeth Mathews, a daughter of Vincent Mathews "of
Cornwal Precinct, Orange County, Esq." In the latter's will, dated March
12, 1783 and proved June 21, 1784, he mentioned his first wife Catalina
Abeel and his second wife Elizabeth, both deceased, and children in this
order: Fletcher Mathews, James Mathews, Bridget Jones, David Mathews,
and Elizabeth Beekman. From the text it is inferred that his "late wife
Elizabeth" is mother only of daughter Elizabeth, wife of Theophilus
Beekman. This will, which was filed in Albany as well as New York, named
Theophilus executor."
