Career
Upon the petition of Beasley and the other burgesses from Isle of Wight County (Major John Bond and Nicholas Smith), a Commission was established which resulted in Ragged Island and Terascoe Neck being transferred from Nansemond County (then Upper Norfolk County) to Isle of Wight County in 1656. Doctor Beazley also served as a Virginia state senator from Albermarle County and Greene County for four years in 1874–1877.
