David Beckwith was born 17th June 1791, in Messing Essex - the landlord of the Cock & Magpie, Stanford le Hope and also  of the Swan, on Horndon on the Hill at the same time, until his death in 1866 at the age of 75.

David and Elizabeth's son - my 3 x Great Grandfather was the Innkeeper following Rueben Cottee at the Swan in Maldon.  *+
