Marriage to Rebecca Beecraft taken from: Church Records, Maryland Marriages, 1634 - 1777, by Robert Barnes (1975). Parish records of All Hallows Parish in Arundel County, Maryland.
Anne Arundel County, Maryland, 1 AA = All Hallows Parish; copy made in 1888 by Lucy H. Harrison at MHS. Page 107 - Jacob Lasewell, married Rebecca Beecraft on 29 Oct. 1724, - 1 AA-332
Jacob Lasswell was married in about 1730 to Elizabeth Slater, a widow, thought to be the widow of George Slater, living nearby. Jacob Lasswell died before 1770.
The significance of the record found in Fairfax County (Virginia) Deed Book D. -83- PP. 236 - 238 - is that we now know that Jacob had at least four sons. There is no evidence of daughters.
The Elliott report concluded that Jacob Lasswell had only one stepson "Edward Slater (Heater)" and all of the later Laswells/Lasswell were the children of John Lasswell, 1698, and Margaret Lee. We now know that both John Lasswell, who married Margaret Lee, and Jacob Lasswell, who married Rebecca Beecraft and then the widow Elizabeth Slater, had Children.
Jacob appears to have had a stepson, Edward Slater, as indicated by a land transaction between Jacob and Edward in 1731. It states : Jacob Lasswell, of Hamilton Parish, Prince William County, Planter "For the love good will and affection which I have and do bear unto Edward Slater of the same Parish and County, 140 acres of land upon Goose Greek.
We also know from the findings of Patrick Mark Lasswell that Jacob was married twice (This was not known in the Elliott Report.) He first married Rebecca Beecraft on 29 October 1724 and was then married to the widow Elizabeth Slater (Sleater) by 1731.
We do not know when Rebecca died, or if she had any children. We now know that a John Lasswell was Jacob's second son, and that Andrew Lasswell was Jacob's fourth son. We can assume that Andrew's mother was Elizabeth, assuming the first child would more than likely been born in 1725; the second in 1727; the third in 1729; and the fourth in 1731. This is not always true, but is a reasonable presumption.
We also know that the first four sons were born before 1756 when the lease was recorded, and probably before 1755 when it was allegedly written.
