2200 acres on the south side of one of the Great Branches of Mattaponi River. This 2200 acre patent was named Cleasby and appears as such in the records. Cleasby is an obvious reference to the ancestral home of the Robinson family in England. The Mattaponi River begins as four streams in what is Spotsylvania County, Virginia today. Each of the four streams is named Mat, Ta, Po and Ni. On July 7, 1741 John's son, William Robinson, purchased 500 acres of land from the Cleasby patent which was described as being in the fork of the river in St. George's Parish, Spotsylvania County, Virginia - this later purchase references the Cleasby Patent by name and date.

About Major Robert Beverley, of Jamestown
https://www.encyclopediavirginia.org/Beverley_Robert_bap_1635-1687
Robert Beverley, also known as Major Robert Beverley or as Robert Beverley the immigrant, served as clerk of the House of Burgesses from 1677 until his death in 1687 despite attempts by the Privy Council and various royal governors to displace him. Born in England, Beverley moved to Virginia after the death of his first wife. There, he served as surveyor of Middlesex County, justice of the peace, a church vestryman, a major in the militia, and, in 1676, acting attorney general. He became wealthy exporting tobacco and importing other goods, and during Bacon's Rebellion (1676), stoutly defended his friend the royal governor Sir William Berkeley. In 1677 he was elected clerk of the House but ran afoul of Berkeley's successor, to whom he refused to turn over the legislative journals. Beverley was arrested in 1682 and confined to jail for two years, charged with conspiring to destroy tobacco in order to inflate the crop's market price. After his release, he was elected to the House of Burgesses and reelected the House's clerk. He was accused to altering a bill after it was passed but he died before a trial could be held.
Beverley was the eldest of four sons and four daughters of Peter Beverley and Susannah Hollis (or Hollice) Beverley of Hull, Yorkshire, England. He was christened in Hull on January 3, 1635, in the parish of Saint Mary Lowgate. Nothing is known about his youth, but he was reasonably well educated, eventually learned something about the law, acquired the rudiments of surveying, and became well acquainted with commerce. Sometime before 1662 he married a woman named Elizabeth, whose maiden name is not known. Their only known child, Peter Beverley, was christened in Saint Mary Lowgate on May 7, 1663, two days before the burial of Elizabeth Beverley.
Robert Beverley moved to Virginia within a few months to start a new life. He settled in that portion of Lancaster County south of the Rappahannock River that in 1669 became Middlesex County. In March 1666 he married Mary Keeble, widow of a local planter, and he began accumulating land, eventually owning about twenty-eight thousand acres in four counties. He became surveyor of Middlesex County, and during the next twenty years he held other local offices, including justice of the peace, vestryman of Christ Church, and major in the militia. During the General Court session in March 1676 he was acting attorney general of the colony. His annual income from his public offices in 1683 was reportedly about £425.
Beverley's main source of income in the early years was commerce. He exported large quantities of his own and his neighbors' tobacco (more than thirty-five thousand pounds during the 1671–1672 season) and imported soap, nails, wrought iron, shoes, haberdashery, cloth, saddles, and other merchandise. He became one of the wealthiest men in that part of Virginia. After his death his personal property alone was worth £1,591, and the debts due to him were valued at about £2,200.
Beverley has often been referred to as Major Robert Beverley or as Robert Beverley the immigrant, to distinguish him from other Robert Beverleys of later generations. He and Mary Keeble Beverley had from four to six sons, of whom three survived childhood, and one daughter. Mary Keeble Beverley died in June 1678, and he married Katherine Hone on March 28, 1679. They had three sons and one daughter. Beverley sent his sons to England to be educated, and the three eldest among those who lived to adulthood, Peter Beverley, Robert Beverley (often referred to as Robert Beverley the historian), and Harry Beverley, made use of their educations and the advantages conferred by a wealthy and influential father to become important in their own right. They and their children made the Beverley family one of the most prominent in Virginia by the early years of the eighteenth century.
Beverley befriended Governor Sir William Berkeley, who probably assisted him in obtaining many of his large and valuable land grants. When Bacon's Rebellion broke out in 1676, Beverley unhesitatingly supported the governor and commanded one of the mounted units that the governor raised in his attempt to crush the rebellion. The royal commissioners later described Beverley as "a person very active & Serviceable in surprizinge & beatinge up of Quarters & Small guards about the Country." Beverley may have suffered damage to his own property as he claimed, but the commissioners also reported that he was "the only person that gott by those unhappy troubles, in Plunderinge (without distinction of honest mens Estates from others)."
For several years Beverley was a leader of the so-called Green Spring faction, political supporters of Berkeley who took their name from Berkeley's James City County residence. In February 1677 the House of Burgesses elected Beverley clerk of the House. That April, when Berkeley's successor Herbert Jeffreys demanded that Beverley turn over to him the legislative journals in his care, Beverley refused to do so without House authorization. The royal commissioners who had been sent to Virginia to quell the rebellion and inquire into its causes forcibly seized the records, and the Privy Council later barred Beverley from office for his attempt to obstruct the commissioners. Beverley nevertheless continued to serve as clerk of the House of Burgesses, even after Governor Thomas Culpeper arrived in Virginia with explicit instructions to displace him.
In May 1682 Beverley was charged with taking a prominent part in the plant-cutting riots in Middlesex and surrounding counties. The plant cutters destroyed portions of their own and their neighbors' tobacco crops in an attempt to create a shortage and raise prices. As a result of legislation he had authored the previous year ordering the creation of a town in each county from which tobacco had to be shipped on penalty of seizure, Beverley had acquired large amounts of tobacco and thus had a strong interest in limiting the amount of tobacco exported. He was arrested and confined until 1684, when he was tried before the General Court and found guilty of "high Misdemeanors" but not of treason. He received a pardon after he supplicated the bench "on his bended Knees." Beverley won election to the House of Burgesses the following year and on November 3, 1685, by a vote of nineteen to seventeen won reelection to the office of clerk.
Beverley and Governor Francis Howard, baron Howard of Effingham, became embroiled in another controversy over the clerkship, and Beverley was charged with altering a bill that had passed the House. On August 1, 1686, James II issued a command again barring Beverley from all civil offices and granting the governor the power of appointing the clerk of the House of Burgesses. Before another trial could be held on the new charges against him, Robert Beverley died at his home on March 15, 1687. He was buried four days later, on the same day that his last son was christened.

Robert Beverley married Frances Fairfax, daughter of Henry Fairfax and Dorothy Aske, in 1597 in Fiskerton Parish, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England. Frances Fairfax was born in 1576 in Billboro, Yorkshire, England and died about 1580 in Billboro, Yorkshire, England.

Frances Fairfax was born about 1576 in Billboro, Yorkshire England and married Robert Beverley of the Parish of Fisketon in the County of Nottingham in 1597. Robert Beverley was born about 1572 in Sleby, Yorkshire, England. In 1598 Henry Fairfax named his son-in-law Robert Beverley trustee under his Will. In 1650, William Beverley, the grandson of Robert Beverley and Frances Fairfax, the Immigrants, went to England with his wife and his son and daughter and Mrs. Beverley's nephew, Robert Munford and William Henry Fairfax, son of Col. Wm. Fairfax of Belvoir of the Lord Fairfax family of VA. The brief diary kept by William Beverley on this trip shows that they visited the Fairfax home "Toulson" in Yorkshire and that they later went to the city of Hull where they met a cousin, Mrs. Phoebe Beverley, and received a letter from another, a William Beverley, then living in Norwich. William Beverley (who made the trip to England as aforesaid) was named by Lord Fairfax as one of the commissioners in VA in the great Northern Neck land controversy and the association of the families appears to have been very close, leading to the surmise that Major Robert Beverley may have descended from the Robert Beverley who married Frances Fairfax. Frances Fairfax and Robert Beverley had the following children:
Peter Beverley was born about 1610 in City of Hull, York, England and died September 16, 1650 in Hull, York, England. Peter Beverley was a man of humble origin. He married Susannah Hollis in 1634 in Yorkshire, England . He was elected a free Burgess of St. Mary's Parish in the borough of Hull. Susannah Hollis was born 1613 in Hull, Yorkshire, England and is the daughter of Robert Hollis who in November 1626, was a member of the Society of Merchant adventurers of Hull, and in 1647, was assistant to the Governor of the company. Peter Beverley and Susannah Hollis are the parents of :
Major Robert Beverley was born about 1641 in Beverley, Yorkshire, England and died March 15, 1687 in Jamestown, Middlesex County, Virginia . He was christened between 1643 - 1645 St. Mary Logate, Hull, Yorkshire, England. He immigrated in 1663 from Yorkshire, England to Jamestown, Virginia and soon became prominent in the coloney. In 1670 He became Clerk of the House of Burgesses in Middlesex County, Virginia. He had acquired a good education for he was a lawyer and a surveyor and a tobacco grower. Then in 1673 he was made Justice of Middlesex County. He made plea in court in 1683 that "from the year 1668 to 1676, I served his Majesty in military and civil offices of trust with fidelity and approbation." Whether or not he had done any military service against the Indians or in colony prior to Bacon's Rebellion is not known but he acquired the title of Major in that controversy and showed marked qualities of leadership and decision. Robert Beverley was a hearty supporter of Governor Berkeley and Bacon named him in his proclamations as one of the "wicked and ernicious councellors aiders and assistors (of Berkeley) against the Commonality in these our Cruell Commotions". It will be recalled that Nathaniel Bacon was a young man of unquestionably great qualities as a leader and orator who after only about a year of residence in the colony, led an expedition against the Indians, defeated them, and then quarreled with Governor Berkeley and defeated him and burned Jamestown, and died of fever a few days thereafter. When Jamestown was burned, Governor Berkeley with such forces as he had, fled to the Eastern Shore, Accomack and Northampton Counties.Major Robert Beverley died March 19, 1687 Jamestown, Middlesex County, Virginia. At the time of his death, through patents and purchase, he had become the largest landowner to that date in Virginia, over 38,000 acres of land.

Mary Keeble was first married to George Keeble and bore him seven children before being widowed at age 29. She then married Robert Beverley and gave him five children before dying at age 41. Major Robert Beverley second married Catherine Hone Armistead March 28, 1679 in Christ Church, Middlesex County, Virginia. Catherine was born 1643 in Middlesex County, Virginia. Catherine gave Major Robert Beverley five children: 1. John Beverley 2. William Beverley 3. Thomas beverley 4. Christopher Beverley 5. Catherine Beverley.

He was Surveyor of King and Queen and King William counties from 1702 to 1714. He was burgess from 1705-06. Captain Harry Beverley Commanded the "Virgin" in 1716, which was captured by the Spanish man-of-war; he escaped and came to Virginia in 1717and was presiding Justice Spotsylvania County in 1720. Captain Harry Beverley married in 1700 to Elizabeth Smith. in Middlesex County, Virginia who was born 1678 in Brandon, Middlesex County, Virginia and died August 6, 1720 in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. Elizabeth was the only child and heiress of Robert Smith II who was born 1658 in Brandon, Middlesex County, Virginia and Elizabeth. She is the grand daughter of Major Genreal Robert Smith and Elizabeth Wormley.
