Essex / John Beckwith, Braintree.

I have a family will signed in 1749 in Braintree and witnessed by a John Beckwith.  A Google search - "John Beckwith" Braintree - will bring up mention of various John Beckwiths, including those on SEAX - Essex Archives, Ancestry trees, etc.

I believe Thomas Branwhite and Mary Polley (nee Garrett) were my 4x gt grandparents.  I am a descendant of their daughter Mary Ann who married William Shave in Bocking in 1813. 

Mary Garrett's first husband may have been the Isaac Polley who died in Bocking in 1775.

I was delighted to read that Thomas Branwhite probably came from Lavenham as I could find no earlier trace of him in Essex although, being a beginner, I thought I might have missed something!
