Marmaduke Beckwith (d> 1670) married Maudlin Creed, d/o Raphael and Grace Creed and had issue Elizabeth, John and Grace. Maudlin remarried Edward Oliver, he died 1676 and she then married John Warren.

Two deeds of gift 7/7/1675 DB2, pg 88 show (1.) Grace Creed Warren (Raphael's widow remarried to Edward Warren) a gift to her granddaughter and godchild Grace Beckwith of a heifer. Male increase (calves) to go to Ed Oliver (her step-father.) She is then described as an orphan, underage and unmarried. (2.) is consecutive on the same page and is an identically worded gift from Elizabeth Creed Hogwood to her neice and godchild Elizabeth Beckwith, also an orphan, underage and unmarried. In both deeds, if either girl die before marriage or of age then the gift goes to the other sister.

3/6/1687, DB 4, pg 38 in Surry shows a gift from Elizabeth Beckwith, deceased, to goddaughter Elizabeth Lucas as carried out posthumously by William Lucas. This William is husband of Grace Beckwith.
So... Grace Beckwith is underage and unmarried in 1675, and married to William Lucas with a child named Elizabeth Lucas in 1687. Other children are documented as William, Charles, Hannah, Ann and Grace.
