A copy of oil painting below is provided by George Wilson of Belfast, N. Ireland as a general rendition of ship design in 1841.
The copy of an oil painting below ostensibly depicts the good ship Speedwell docked in the harbor of New London, Connecticut. It is donated by John Quibble of Morgan, Wales.
NOTE: History suggests the Speedwell
first sailed with the Mayflower in 1620, but was forced to return
to England for repairs. In 1621 it sailed to Plymouth, MA and
then crossed the ocean several
times before 1650. Note; One version claimed the sailors sabotaged the ship out of
fear to get
out of their agreement to sail the ship to America.

Thomas Beebe was born about 1535 in Borough of Kettering, Northampton, England.
His grandson, John Beebe died 1650 during the crossing of the SS Speedwell. John had five sons and two daughters named in his will.
One of my wife's Beebe cousins has traced back a couple more generations before that; it's pretty much all on my WorldConnect page.

His bride, Leanah Van Ausdell was born in 1826 in Lawrence County Ohio.
Her parents were William and Polly (Hedrick) Van Ausdell, whom were both born in Ohio.

1851 Milton and Leanah located Shelby County and lived in Picune Twp. near Manteno, Iowa between 1851 and 1857 while he was sheriff.Although a wagon maker by trade, Milton was a successful Merchant, active in public affairs and the elected Sheriff of Shelby County for five years.

Georgianna V. (m George Williamson)
Cornelius A. (m Mary Williamson) (2gfather)
Kate I. (m Henry Urfer)
