    THE ORIGINS OF THE FAMILY OF CRAWLEY-BOEVEY

    Thomas Crawley was a merchant in London. He assumed the surname of Boevey, as a requirement to inherit the estate of Flaxley Abbey, given to him by the will of William Boevey, Esq. He became known as Thomas Crawley-Boevey. Until the 1800s, the eldest son inherited the estate and adopted the Crawley-Boevey surname. Younger sons and daughters used only the name Crawley.

    He married Susanna Lloyd. His oldest son Thomas also married a Susanna Lloyd. So there are two generations of Thomas Crawley-Boevey and Susannah Lloyd.

    Pedigree of Crawley-Boevey by A.C. Crawley-Boevey shows his birthdate as 1680.

    Excerpt from "A Bedfordshire Family" by William Austin:

    Thomas, eldest eldest surviving son of Thomas Crawley, was baptized 3rd May 1680, at St Dunstan's in the East. He married by licence (Vicar-General), on the 2nd February 1702, at Great St Bartholomew's, London, Susanna, daughter of John Lloyd and Susanna Hollier.

    We have mentioned that· his father, Thomas Crawley was the friend of William Boevey, Esq., of Flaxley Abbey, and that two of his children, namely, David and John, were beneficiaries of William Boevey and his sister, Mrs Cornelia Bateman.

    This Thomas Crawley lived to be a recipient of still greater favours from the family. The Boevey family came from Courtral in Flanders in 1573, and settled in St Dunstan's in the East. They acquired considerable wealth, and the above-named William Boevey purchased the estate of Flaxley Abbey, in the county of Gloucester, and married Catherine, daughter of John Riches.

    Catherine Boevey was a famous beauty, but was still more famous for her great benevolence and numerous benefactions. She also became interesting to later generations as the subject of Sir Richard Steele's essays, wherein he alludes to the relations between the more or less fictitious character, Sir Roger de Coverley, and the "Perverse Widow" (see 'Mr CrawleyBoevey's The Perverse Widow for an account of this lady), the widow being, it is said, Calherine Boevey, the widow of William Boevey.

    Mr Boevey died at the early age of thirty-five, leaving his estate and much wealth to his beautiful widow, who survived him till the 21st January 1726. Thomas Crawley was William Boevey's executor, and by the terms of Mr Boevey's will he succeeded to the estate of Flaxley Abbey upon the condition that he took the name of Boevey.

    By the will of Mrs Boevey he also received a pecuniary legacy of £500, her coach-horses, etc., and books which she gave to "my kind friend Thomas Crawley-Boevey."

    Thomas Crawley-Boevey was buried at Flaxley on 7th February 1741. His will was proved in the P.c.~. in February 1742 (46 Trenley). His wife predeceased him on the 17th July 1739. They had issue:-
