There was once a dispute between the New London and Lyme people over the right to mow grass on debatable land. When the Lyme people came with a constable who began to read a warrant for the apprehension of another ensign, Sergeant Beebe interruped him crying "we care not a straw for your paper." There was a struggle between the two parties which did not result seriously to either side. In 1671-2, he was brought before the court, with many others in New London, "for an attempt to drive Mr. Matthew Griswold and Lieut. William Waller by violence off their lands, resistance to authority and assault." Very likely he had been for some time on the plantation of New London in the service of John Winthrop, the founder. There are records of several land purchases in 1651 and 1652 by John. In 1707, he deeded 31 acres to his son Benjamin. This deed was recorded 28 April 1714 but he was probably dead at that time. He was called a "Leather Dresser" in a deed dated 1660. In 1675, he was appointed Ensign by the general court. During King Philip's War in June 1676, he went on several expeditions against the Indians to Rhode Island, Taunton and beyond Westfield, MA on the way to Albany. On one of these expeditions, the company ascended the Connecticut River to Northampton, where they joined Major Talcot with supplies of which the army was in urgent need. In 1690, he was commissioned a lieutenant. Lt. John Beebe III and Abigail Yorke were married about 1659 in Stonington, New London County, Connecticut.423,1297,1301,1302
