My 9th great-grandmother was Edith Cromwell, of the famous Cromwell
family of England, which includes Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England.
I am still trying to determine exactly where Edith fits in.
Information suggests she was the daughter of Richard Cromwell. Until I get her
parentage sorted out, I offer these tidbits on Edith Cromwell Gist Williams Beecher:
Colonial Families of the United States of America: Volume 7 ISSUE page 236:
She had brothers [p.236] William, John and Richard Cromwell, who settled
in Maryland, and was
thrice married, m. (secondly) to Joseph WILLIAMS, d. in 1692, and m. (thirdly) to John BEECHER,
d. in 1694. By Christopher GIST she only had one child.
Will: 23 May 1694 Baltimore Co., MD Deeds R.M. No. H.S. p. 510, Annapolis Emigration: Abt. 1679;
The will of Edith Cromwell Gist Williams Beecher dated 23 May, 1694, in Baltimore Co. Md Deeds
R.M. No. H.S. p. 510, Hall of Records, Annapolis: "Edith Beacher of Patapsco River, Baltimore County,
requests that brother Richard Cromwell and Mr. Thomas Staley for the confidence I repose
in their honesty as soon as I am dead may take into their custody and tutelage my son

account fitting for merchant business.
I desire that Mr. Richard Cromwell and Mr. Thomas Staley may also
look after all the estate which doth belong or appertain to my sonn Richard Gist both real and
personal till he comes of age twenty one years and then permit my son Richard to be possessed
of same. /s/ Edith Beacher."
