John Beauchamp
(Abt 1592 - Aft 6 Jun 1653)
Ref.: "The Mayflower and Her Log from the Library of Congress"."John was a London merchant and member of the Plymouth Company. Was one of the financial adventurers who financed the Mayflower which came to America in 1620. This stock company was formed to supply the plantation in Plymouth, Mass. There were about 70 stockholders.
Some time ago in a book entitled "The Complete Book of Emigrants 1661-1669" by Peter Coldham I (Ann Van Dyke) found an entry dated 15 October, 1641 which said "Abraham Helsey of London , gent, age 56 and John Bewchampe, citizen and salter of London, aged 49, deposes that Thomas Weston of London became bound to Bewchampe for money on 29 March 1623..." This is an excerpt from a deposition on file at the Corporation of the City of London. The actual deposition ( very hard to read) says "...John Bewchampe...aged 49 or thereabouts..."
