Mark Kerr of Tokay Lodge1

(Brother-in-Law) Will27 January 1825Mark's brother-in-law, Robert Bell Booth, prepared his will dated 27 January 1825 in County Cavan, naming his six children and clarifying the order of their births: Mary (Bell Booth) Baker, wife of Robert Baker, Andrew Bell Booth, Reverend Richard Bell Booth, George Thomas Bell Booth, Jane Amelia (Bell Booth) Carmichael, wife of John Carmichael, Letitia Bell Booth and Margaret Bell Booth. He appointed Andrew Bell of Creevy and Mark Kerr of Tokay Lodge his trustees, and named his three sons, Andrew Bell Booth, Reverend Richard Bell Booth, George Thomas Bell Booth as his executors.

The Registry's copy of Robert's will was prepared without paragraphs and with little punctuation, so we have taken the liberty of separating the thoughts where we thought appropriate for ease of reading. Our transcription of the registry's copy follows:

In the name of God Amen, I Robert Bell Booth of Drumcarban in the County of Cavan, Esquire, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make, publish and declare this my last Will and Testament, revoking all former wills and testimonies in writing or otherwise. Imploring the Almighty through the merits and blood of Christ my Savior and Redeemer to receive my Soul into the Eternal Bliss and Glory, I direct my remains to be buried in my family burial ground in the Churchyard of Ballimaun in decent and becoming manner, trusting that my beloved sons, my executors, will conduct and commit my body to the earth. And as to such property as I am possessed of, I dispose of as follows:

I do hereby will, devise and bequeath all my real and freehold estates of and in the towns and lands of Bellsgrove, otherwise Aghacreevy, Corlislea, Drumcarban, Derrylane and Kevit, situate in the county of Cavan, and the lands of Mullaghmeen, situate in Westmeath, unto Andrew Bell of Creevy in the county of Longford and Mark Kerr of Tokay Lodge in the county of Dublin, Esquire, as trustees, and to the survivors of them, and to the heirs and assigns of such survivors, upon the trusts, and to and for the several uses, interests and purposes hereinafter expressed and declared, for and concerning the same, and to no other use, interest or purpose whatsoever.

And my will is that as to, for and concerning the lands of Bellsgrove, otherwise Aghacreevy, and the lands of Mullaghmeen in trust, to permit and suffer my eldest son Andrew, immediately after my decease, to enter into and have, hold, use and enjoy the same as his Estate for and during the term of his natural life, subject however to the payment of and chargeable with the debt of £300 sterling which he and I owe to Robert Parkes, together with the interest thereof, from my decease until paid, and also subject to the chief or ground rents thereof, with remainder of and in said lands and premises to the first and other sons, in seniority of age and priority of birth, and the lives male of such child or children of the said Andrew, lawfully to be begotten of the body of any wife he may hereafter marry, such marriage however to be by and with the consent of and approbation of my said trustees as hereinafter mentioned. The elder of such sons to always be preferred to the younger. And in case the said Andrew shall marry with the approbation of my trustees, or the survivors of them, and not otherwise, I do hereby authorize them and him to provide a competent jointure for such wife, chargeable on said lands. And should he hereafter have lawful issue more than one, my will is that the said Andrew shall have power, and I do hereby invest him with full power, to charge and encumber said lands for younger children with any sum reasonable and under the direction of my said trustees, or the survivor of them, such sum for younger children or female child not to exceed £2,000 sterling. And in case the said Andrew shall not have issue male lawfully begotten, or that having issue male and that he or they, or any of them, shall not attain the age of 21 years, then and in case such event or events shall happen, my will is that my said trustees, and the survivor of them, and the heirs and assigns of such survivors, shall permit and suffer my second son, the Reverend Richard Bell Booth, in case he should survive the said Andrew or his issue male lawfully to be begotten, to have, hold and enjoy the said lands of Bellsgrove, otherwise Aghacreevy, and Mullaghmeen, subject however to such jointure for any wife the said Andrew may marry and provision for the younger children or female issue of said Andrew of such marriage, should there be any, as shall or may on such marriage be agreed on. And also subject to such chief rents as payable thereout. And in case the said Andrew and Richard should both happen to die without lawful issue male, or that having lawful issue male and that he or they should die and not attain the age of 21 years, then upon trust to permit and suffer my youngest son George Thomas Bell Booth and his issue male to have, hold and enjoy said lands of Bellsgrove, otherwise Aghacreevy, and Mullaghmeen as aforesaid. And upon this further trust, that if all my said three sons shall happen to die without issue male, lawfully begotten, in such event the said lands of Bellsgrove and Mullaghmeen to go and descend to the heirs male of the Bell line of my family.

And as, to, for and concerning the lands of Corlislea, upon trust, that my said trustees shall immediately after my decease permit and suffer my second son the Reverend Richard Bell Booth to enter into and upon, and have, hold and enjoy the said lands of Corlislea as his Estate for and during the term of his natural life, subject however to the payment of, and chargeable with, the sum of £1,500 sterling with interest from my decease until paid, as hereafter mentioned, with remainder of and in said lands and premises to the first and other sons in seniority of age and priority of birth and the heirs male of such child or children of said Richard, lawfully to be begotten upon the body of any wife he may hereafter marry, such marriage however to be by and with the consent and approbation of my said trustees as hereafter mentioned. The elder of such sons and the issue male always to be preferred to the younger. And in case the said Richard shall marry with the approbation of my said trustees, or the survivor of them, and not otherwise, I do hereby authorize them and him to provide a competent jointure for such wife chargeable on said lands of Corlislea. And should he thereafter have lawful issue more than one or if only one, a daughter, my will is that the said Richard shall have the power, and I do hereby invest him with the power, to charge and encumber said lands for younger children with any sum reasonable, and under the direction of my said trustees or the survivor of them. Such sum for younger children or female child not to exceed the sum of £2,000 sterling. And in case the said Richard shall not have issue male lawfully begotten or that having issue male and that he or they or any of them shall not attain the age of 21 years then, and in such event or events, my will is that my said trustees shall, or the survivor, or the heirs and assigns of such survivor, may permit and suffer my sons Andrew and George Thomas, jointly if they both live, or the survivor if either should die in the meantime, and the issue male of such survivor, to have, hold and enjoy the lands of Corlislea, subject however first to the said sum of £1,500 sterling herein before and after mentioned and for such jointure for any wife the said Richard may marry and provision for the female issue or younger children of said Richard, should there be any, as shall or may on such marriage be agreed upon.

And as, to, for and concerning the lands of Drumcarban, Derrylane and Kevit, upon trust, that my said trustees shall immediately after my decease permit and suffer my third son, George Thomas Bell Booth, to enter into and upon and to have, hold and enjoy the said lands of Drumcarban, Derrylane and Kevit as his Estate for and during the term of his natural life, subject however to the payment of and chargeable with the sum of £500 sterling with interest from my decease until paid, as hereafter mentioned, with remainder to the first and other sons in seniority of age and priority of birth and the sons male of such child or children of said George Thomas Bell Booth lawfully to be begotten on the body of any wife he may hereafter marry, such marriage however to be by and with the consent and approbation of my said trustees, as here after mentioned. The eldest of such sons and their issue male always to be preferred to the younger. And in case the said George Thomas shall marry with approbation of my trustees or the survivor of them, and not otherwise, I do hereby authorize him and them to provide a competent jointure for such wife chargeable on the lands and should he thereafter have lawful issue more than one, or if only one, a daughter, my will is that the said George Thomas shall have power, and I do hereby invest him with power, to charge and encumber said lands for younger children with any sum reasonable and under the direction of my said trustees or the survivor of them, such sum for younger children or child not to exceed the sum of £1,500. And in case the said George Thomas shall not have issue male lawfully begotten or that having issue male and that he or they shall die and not attain the age of 21 years, then and in case such event or events shall happen, my will is that my said trustees and the survivor of them and the heirs and assigns of such survivor shall permit and suffer my sons Andrew and Richard jointly, should they both live, or the survivor, and should either die in the lifetime of said George and the issue male of such survivor to have, hold and enjoy the said lands of Drumcarban, Derrylane and Kevit, subject however first to the said sum of £500 herein and after mentioned, and such jointure for any wife the said George Thomas may marry and provision for the female issue or younger children of said George Thomas, should there be any, as shall on such marriage be agreed upon. And also subject to the head rent payable out of said lands of Kevit.

And it is my will and desire, and I do empower each of my three sons, Andrew, Richard and George Thomas, respectively, when in possession of the premises to make leases and grant all or any part of the premises they are respectively entitled to under this my will for any term not exceeding one life or 31 years when in possession not in reversion without fraud or fine, and at the best improved yearly rent that can be had for same from solvent tenants, and so as every such lease contains covenants against waste and that the tenant do execute a counterpart thereof.

I have herein before mentioned the sum of £1,500 as charged on the lands of Corlislea and the sum of £500 as a charge on Drumcarban, Derrylane and Kevit. I do now declare and my will is that said respective sums do stand charged on said lands, respectively, and be payable with interest from my death as aforesaid, and that said sums together with the sum of £2,000 sterling shall be equally divided by my trustees between my two daughters, Letitia and Margaret Bell Booth, so that the fortune or portion of each shall be £1,000 with interest payable to each on their respective marriages. I do however declare it is my will that in the meantime they, or either of them, shall only receive the interest at the rate of 6 percent per annum by half-yearly payments on the first of every six months after my decease, and in case either or both of my said daughters should happen to die before marriage, or be married without the consent and approbation of my said trustees, or the survivor of them, or the heirs or assigns of such survivor, and also the consent and approbation of the said Reverend Richard Bell Booth then, and either of those events so happening, the fortune or portion and all arrears of interest thereon of such, or either or both so remaining unmarried, or offending by marriage against the consent and approbation aforesaid, shall go to, and be ratably divided by my said trustees, and go between my said three sons, Andrew, Richard and George Thomas, or the survivors or survivor of them, and share and share alike. And such of my daughters so offending herein shall only have and receive a sum of £50 sterling instead of £1,000 as aforesaid.

Robert Baker is indebted to me by bond and warrant in the sum of £96 or thereabouts together with interest, and the same is secured by a deed between him and James Smyth of Cavan, Esquire, whereby an insurance is to be kept up that on the death of said Robert Baker said debt with his other debts will be paid. I bequeath said debt and all advantage therefrom to Mary, second daughter of said Robert Baker.

I order and direct, and I do hereby will and bequeath, the furniture of and belonging to two of my best chambers be reserved and handed over to my daughters, Letitia and Margaret, and it is my wish they should reside with my son George after closing their education and until their marriage, respectively, on an understanding to make some renumeration.

I do hereby devise and bequeath the remainder of my household furniture at Drumcarban and the farming utensils or implements of husbandry to my son George Thomas Bell Booth.

I do hereby order and direct that my executors shall, with all convenient speed after my decease, ascertain and collect as well, the debts due to me as those due by me. And for that purpose, immediately after my decease, to sell, dispose of or value my goods, chattels and personal property not herein before bequeathed or disposed of and, after payment of my debts, funeral expenses and £5 each to Jane McCabe and James Quin, should they be in my service at my decease, that the residue of such personal property and all other property not herein disposed of, be equally divided, share and share alike, between by beloved, dutiful and much respected children, Mary, wife of Robert Baker, Andrew, Richard, George Thomas, Jane Amelia, wife of John Carmichael, Letitia and Margaret Bell Booth and that same be paid them each, respectively, notwithstanding their coverture.

I do now nominate, constitute and appoint my sons Andrew, Richard and George Thomas Bell Booth executors of this my last will and testament and with the affection of a fond parent, I consign them to act in all things under this my will and more especially in forming any connection by marriage by, with, and under the consent and approbation of my good and faith worthy trustees who are uncles to each of them, respectively.

There is a bond debt due to me by Arthur Moneypenny, Esquire, amounting to £50 with interest. I hereby bequeath this sum to Mr. Moneypenny and I direct my executors to acquit and release the last-mentioned debt.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my name and seal this 27th day of January 1825.                    Signed… Robert B. Booth


The will was signed in the presence of three witnesses, William Carmichael, William Harris and Andrew Carmichael.

A copy transcribed from a copy of the original Will and Testament of Robert Bell Booth, Esquire, was taken by the Reverend Richard Bell Booth and compared in the presence of Andrew Bell Booth of Creevy who found it to be correct, signing his name as Andrew B. Booth, in agreement, on 31 December 1830 at Drumcarban.1 
Relationship Note*1825In the 1825 will of Robert Bell Booth of Drumcarban, County Cavan, Mark Kerr of Tokay Lodge was identified as an uncle of Robert's children which, if a literal description, would mean Mark was the husband of a sister of either Robert or his deceased wife, Jane Amelia Hinds, the mother of his children. We've not yet been able to determine the source of Mark's actual relationship to the family.1

Mother*Delilah Kettering3,1 b. 4 Mar 1814
Birth*14 October 1851Mary J. Kesling was born on 14 October 1851 in Indiana.1 
Name VariationHer full name was Mary Jane Kesling.1 
Marriage*1873She married, as her first husband, Jesse Hammer about 1873.4,1 
(Wife) Death18 June 1897Mary Jane became a widow when Jesse Hammer died on 18 June 1897 at age 65. His death left Mary with six children between the ages of 5 and 22 years.4 
Marriage*1898She married second, as his second wife, George Beebe, son of Philo Beebe and Laura Franklin, about 1898. They both had been widowed the year before and each had six children. George's three sons and three daughters were between the ages of 4 and 28 years, and Mary Jane's four sons and two daughters were between the ages of 6 and 24 years.1,5,6 
Census US 1900*12 June 1900Mary J. and George Beebe were enumerated on the 1900 census taken on 12 June 1900 in Oak Grove, Wasco County, Oregon. George was 64 years of age and a farmer, and Mary J. was 48 years of age. They rented their farm, had been married for 2 years, and Mary had given birth to nine children, six of whom were living.

(Sister-in-Law) Fratricide4 January 1911During a brutal and bloody fight between two of her husband's brothers, Hiram and Nelson Beebe, on 4 January 1911 in the front yard of a neighbor's home in Clackamas Heights, Oregon City, Clackamas County, Oregon, Hiram lost his life. There were no witnesses to the tragedy, and the report of Nelson Beebe, who was drunk when arrested, was all the information obtained by the authorities. A Portland, Oregon newspaper, under the headline, "Aged Brothers Battle with Ax and Club", published Nelson Beebe's explanation of the event, writing that he had received a $60 pension payment that morning and spent most of the day in an Oregon City saloon. At about 4 o'clock, he left for the home that he and his brother shared. He said that as soon as he opened the door of his house he was met by his brother with an ax in his hand, and that had started the fight. How long it lasted was not known. According to Nelson, his brother slashed him with the ax and, in self-defense, he used a club. The newspaper reported that the ax and the club were found in the yard that night, and that when the body of Hiram was found, his nose was smashed in and his body terribly bruised, indicating that the encounter was long and severe. After the fight ended, Nelson went to the home of a neighbor for help. He requested that his bleeding wounds be dressed and an Oregon City doctor was immediately called. Two neighborhood men who were the first ones to visit the scene of the tragedy, said they found Hiram's body still warm, and that there was blood all over the front yard, indicating the terrible struggle. At the County Jail that night Nelson said his brother started the trouble when he met him at the door with an ax in his hand, and on his attempt to cross the threshold dealt him a terrible blow. The newspaper reported that Nelson told several conflicting stories at the jail before going to sleep, and that when the two neighbors examined the house they found nothing disturbed. They reported that even the cat and dog were quietly sleeping in the corner. The newspaper article stated that Nelson and Hiram had lived in the vicinity for many years, were unmarried, and that Nelson had a daughter living in California. On the way to jail Nelson asked why Hiram had not been arrested, as he had started the trouble. It was said by the neighbors that Hiram suffered from a weak heart, but it was believed that his wounds were sufficient to have killed him.

Developments the day after the murder had taken place the night before were varied. Nelson Beebe, who was still being held in the County Jail, remained unaware that his brother, Hiram, had died, and was also unaware that he was about to be charged with the slaying of his brother with a club. According to the sheriff, Nelson believed he was in jail only to make certain there would be no more trouble. Later that afternoon the Coroner and a picked jury held an inquest over the body of Hiram Beebe and rendered the verdict: "That deceased came to his death from a blow on the head from some blunt instrument in the hands of a party or parties not known." Daylight had revealed evidence for the jury that showed more plainly the desperate character of the battle that was fought around the cottage in which the brothers lived The grass had been trodden down by many shifting changes, each made by one or the other of the men in an attempt to get a better footing or into a more advantageous position from which to continue the fight. The blood stains, too, showed that the fight had covered a wide area, and the heel and toe prints evidenced that the struggle had been one testing the very nerves of both combatants. A newspaper reported that Nelson Beebe, in his rambling talk, told of the many fights he had been in during his life, how he had never been whipped, how he had never been known to run, and that he seemed willing to stand on his record for bravery. The paper also predicted that, because the Grand Jury was currently in session, the District Attorney was likely to bring his case forward within a day or two, so it wouldn't be long before Nelson would know that he was charged with the murder of his brother.

The following day, on Friday, January 6, Nelson was arraigned on the charge of manslaughter. The newspaper reported that Beebe appeared very nervous and, upon his request that his hearing be scheduled as soon as possible, it was set for the following Monday morning. Nelson was returned to prison with bail set for $1,000. He repeated his statement that it was the first time he knew of Hiram's death and that, while he thought Hiram might have been seriously hurt, he thought from remarks dropped in his presence that Hiram was living and had a hand in Nelson being in prison.

Three months later, on Monday April 22, Nelson was discharged from custody because the Grand Jury found insufficient evidence or probable cause to formally charge him with the crime of manslaughter for the killing of his brother, Hiram, with a club the previous January. Nelson Beebe was 80 years old and Hiram, who was killed, was age 77. Nelson had always asserted than Hiram attacked him with an ax and that he used the club to defend himself. The paper reported that Nelson was a veteran of the Civil War and a pioneer plainsman, that both men had been married twice, that Hiram had no children and that his second wife was Mrs. Mary Cathro of Canemah, Oregon, and that Nelson had a daughter, Laura, of Red Bluff, California. It mentioned that George Beebe, a younger brother of the men, lived in Eastern Oregon and that a nephew, George, lived near Estacada.7,8,9,10 
(Wife) Death9 August 1911Mary Jane became a widow for the second time when George Beebe died on 9 August 1911 at age 75.5
