General Notes: Husband - Martin Bere

---

This family seems to have originated in the parish of Westcliffe, County of Kent, England, at a place called Bere's or Byer's Court. William de Bere, of Bere's Court, was bailiff of Dover about 1275, and one Nicholas de Bere held the manor of Bere's Court in the twentieth year of the reign of Henry III. Of this same family was Roger Byer, of Bere, who died in the reign of Mary. In 1542 his son John purchased the Horsman place in Dartford, which is said to have been “a mansion of some note.” In his will, dated 1572, John Beer founded four almshouses in Dartford, and devised his mansion to his eldest son, Henry. His grandson, Edward Beer, died unmarried in 1627, bequeathing Horsman Place to John Twistleton, of Drax.
The first ancestor to whom the American branch of the family can be authentically traced was Martin Bere or Beers, of Rochester, in the County of Kent, England, who was living in 1486.
