Saturday Surname -- Beadle of Salem, Massachusetts

Every Saturday for several years, I've been posting my surnames. Today, it is the early Beadle family of Salem, Massachusetts. While looking over my file on this family, I found conflicting spellings of Benjamin Beadle's wife's surname. Some books had Hammond, a few had Hammons. Fortunately, I had the York County, Maine Deeds CD, and was able to confirm the surname is Hammons. In addition, was able to take that family back another generation. The CD was given to me years ago by NEHGS after it was published, because I was a volunteer on that project, and received credit in print. My direct lines are in green.
