Curt Sytsma, January 17, 1999 <curt.ellen@worldnet.att.net>.
Theories that Edith Gist (dau. of Richard Gist and Zipporah Murray) was a descendant of Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658, The Lord Protector of England; from the Hichen Brook CROMWELLs) are popular and pervasive, but unproven. Worse than unproven, they are debunked. It is most likely that Edith was a descendant of the Cromwell family of Malmesbury, England.

Edith md.
2) Joseph Williams, d. 1692; and
3) John BEECHER/BEACHER, d. 1694.
She had one child, Richard Gist.

1694 May 23;
Will of Edith BEACHER of Baltimore Co., Maryland, her brother, Richard Cromwell, and Thomas STALY, are to put her son Richard Gist in merchants school and look after her son until he is 21.
Signed Edith BEACHER.
Wit: Anna OLTON, Dan PALMER and Elinor x FLOYD.
(John Davis, Baltimore Co., Maryland, Deed Records, Vol. 1, p.44)

"[Edith] was the sister of Richard, William, and John Cromwell, early emigrants to the Province of Maryland. This relationship is shown in various deeds and wills.
In 1680, Edith witnessed the will of her brother, William Cromwell
(Balt. Co. Md. Original Wills, Box 1, Folder 29, Hall of Records, Annapolis).
The signature of Edith and her son, Richard, show that they spelled their family name as Gist. Different spellings in the records are due to mistakes of clerks."
- Dorsey book.
Some say the father of these siblings was Henry Cromwell Esq., others say Richard Cromwell.
