The autobiographer cannot be trusted to tell all the truth, though he may tell nothing but the truth, and the Recording Angel never allows his book to leave his own hands. One, the person himself, the other, the Recording Angel. There are but two biographers who can tell the story of a man’s life. Once complete I plan to make this available in e-reader format for kindle etc, for easier consumption. Note: the text below is incomplete – I am still working on the Appendix section which includes the “Roll of Honor”, passages from source material and an Index. This book, being published over 96 years ago, is public domain, meaning the material is free to copy and use with out restriction. Originally converted via OCR and scrubbed for OCR errors and formatting by me. The text below is transcribed from the online Yale archive of the book. To date, I have found no evidence of that, so I would tend to believe that its possible de Malebisse was simply a land owner in York for any number of possible reasons.Īdditionally I have personally found no evidence of de Malebisse / Malbis / Maltby (or similar) in the archive of the Domesday Book itself, however this could be due to my lack of ability to read ancient English text □ I have however seen reference to the de Malebisse lineage an several other books on English lineages. While it seems likely this person existing and was indeed the likely progenitor, the author implies that de Malebisse granted lands as part of the invasion of England by William the Conqueror. The main doubt I have is with respect to the assertion that the progenitor of the lineage, Hugh de Malebisse, who was alive at the time of the Domesday book in the year 1066. However, after carefully reviewing the content, it is my belief that Paul’s intention was sincere and the book is an accurate document of what he believed to be true. I would note that like any large genealogical projects there is the high likelihood of inaccuracies in some parts of the book. The book documents a detailed genealogical record of descendants of the Beckwith (originally “de Malebisse”) male lineage from England to America. Posting this copy of “The Beckwiths”, a genealogical book from 1891 by Paul Beckwith.
