2008 Facts relating to John Besbeech and his family were transcribed by Mrs. Elizabeth (French) Bartlett and published as "English Research" in the New England Historical and General (sic) Register during 1912 and 1913.

John Besbeech, the father of Thomas, lived in Biddenden. Anything definite concerning his connection with the old Kentish of Byxpitch or Besbeche is not known. The numberous refernces to this family in the different records spell the name variously, as, Byxpitch, Besbeche, Besbridge, Besbeech, Besbyche and other variations.

As a termination in the names of places, "Den" in old English meant "In a Valley" or "Near a Wood."

John's wife, Dorothy, was the sister of Walter Austin of Bethersden in Kent, and was the widow of Thomas Foster. She had several children by her first marriage, among them Richard Foster, who married Patience Bigge, the daughter of John and Rachael (Martin) Bigge of Tenderden.

John Bigge was a clothier of Cranbrook, Kent, and married in 1538. When he died in 1605, he left an estate of 700 pounds, Sterling. In 1635, after her husband's death, Patience (Bigge) Foster emigrated with her mother, Rachael, on the ship, "Elizabeth," to Dorchester, Mass.

In his will, John Besbeech called himself a "Yoeman." The people of Kent were largely small landholders and had been so from the time of the Danish Conquests.

From the Arch Deaconry, Canterbury, the records (Vol. 51-66), some pertaining to the will of John Besbeech made in 1608-1609 and probated March 8th, 1609-1610, were transcribed by Elizabeth (French) Bartlett and are as follows:

"Will of John Besbeech of Biddenden in the County of Kent, Yeoman, June 28th, 7 James. To be buried in the Parish Churchyard of Biddenden.
"To my wife, Dorothy, a cow, half my corn, all my leases and a bedstead which standeth in the house where Richard Foster, her son, now dwelleth.
"To Richard Foster and Patience, his wife, Thomas Foster and Elizabeth, his wife and Thomas Stocke and his wife, to each a gold ring, of vallue 10 s.
"To young John Beale, my Godchild, 20 s.
"The residue of my goods and chattels, unbequeathed, to my two sons, John Besbich and Thomas Besbeech, and them I make my executors.

"My Will Regarding My Lands.
"To my wife, Dorothy, for her dowry, 20 pounds a year out of my lands, but if she marry again, only 14 pounds.
"To my son John Besbich and his heirs, a messuage and lands in Hedcorne and Biddenden, which I lately purchased of Simon Chittenden in Biddenden at a place called Omenden, my wife to have out of said lands, 12 pounds, but only 9 pounds if she should marry again.
"To my son Thomas Besbich, and his heirs, a messuage and lands which I lately purchased of Robert Tayler of Holden, lying in Frittenden and Hedcorne and my messuage purchased of Anne White in Frittenden on the Den of Buckhurst. My wife to have 8 pounds out of said lands, but only 5 pounds if she marry again."

In "Churches of Kent" by Francis Grayling, 1913, there is a description of All Saints Church in Biddenden which is as follows:
"The tower an elegant specimen of the Kent type. Plan regular and the chancel longer than the aisles. The pillars and arches are of the 13th Century; the eastern nave arches have been tampered with; 14th Century windows. The chancel pillars and arches are of the 15th Century. Has a tower dated 1541 and a monument to Sir Thomas Mayne, 1566; the pulpit is of the 17th Century; registers began in 1538."

Saint Peter and Saint Paul Church in Hedson Hedcorn:
"Has a western tower; nave and chancel, each with a south aisle; the whole is of the 15th Century. The tower windows affect an earlier form. Has five bays in the nave; the northern window traceries retain fine old painted glass. The base of the screen remains; the font is with shields, angels and scrolls. Has a 15th Century tomb; registers began in 1560."

Saint Marys Church of Frittenden:
"Was rebuilt in 1848. R. E. Hussey has described the moulded brickwork. The tower is of the 15th Century. Baptism records date from 1558, marriages and burials from 1561."

Committee on English Research searched the Canterbury Arch Deaconry records Vols. 56 to 61 and the results same given in the New England Historical and General (sic) Register, transcribed by Elizabeth (Barrett) French and are as follows:
"Will of Dorothy Bestbeech of Biddenden, County Kent, widow, dated 27 Dec. 1619.
"To Thomas Foster's three children a pair of sheets each;
"To Phillipe dau. of my son John Besbeech, a pair of sheets;

"To my son Thomas Besbeech, all such household stuff of mine as he hath in his keeping, except my linen and all such rent as shall be due from him to me, except three pounds which he shall pay to my son Richar Foster.
"Residue of all my moveable goods and chattels, unbequeathed, to my son Richard Foster, whom I make my executor."

2036 Family lore has it that Elijah Bisbee died in West Windsor, Eaton, Michigan, where he was visiting with his son, John. Bisbee, Elijah (I44)
 
2037 Family lore has it that Elwin went to Alaska in search of gold. By 1910, he was settled on a farm along Beaver Creek in Fergus County, Montana. Two brothers, Wilson and Winfield, and two sisters, Julia and Arvilla, also had property along Beaver Creek. By 1920 his siblings moved to Chelan, Washington. Elwin stayed on in Montana, taking up a farm in Garfield County.

Elwin lived alone and never remarried. He made several trips by train back to Erie County to visit his children, his last being around 1920 when he presented his son-in-law, Dell Bisbee, with a violin he brought back with him from the Klondike. The family recalls his stories of stringing ropes between his sod-bank house, outhouse and barn, so he would not get lost and freeze to death in the blinding snow storms that are common to the area. Elwin told of how he had trouble sleeping one night, and in the morning awoke to find a rattle snake curled up beside him in bed. It was said that he lived 50 miles from the nearest town and a hundred miles from a railroad. He died shortly after returning to Montana, under what the family believed were mysterious circumstances. In November, 1921, he was found along the side of a road. The circumstances suggest that he had come down with pneumonia and fell off his horse while riding to get help. 
Hatch, Elwin West (I2292)
