William Berkeley had, by his marriage with Margaret Paulet, several daughters, and a son John, who dissipated the family estate, except Beverstone, and died 16 October, 24 Elizabeth.

This John married Frances, daughter of Sir Nicholas Poynts, of Acton, Gloucestershire, and had issue:

1. John2, sold Beverstone Castle to Sir John Poyntz 1597, appointed to take charge of iron works in Virginia, May 11, 1621, vice Mr. Blewett, dead; killed in the Indian Massacre of 1622. He married Margaret, daughter of Sir John Snell;

2. Joan, Abbess at Brussels;

3. Katherine, married Thomas Symonds, a minister;

4. Margaret married Jasper Merricke, of Bevington.

This family information is based on The Berkeley Manuscripts

Therefore I’m detaching Alice Paulet & Lt. Edward Berkeley as children and will try to find their correct tree locations.
