This is what I've accumulated so far. He is not my ancestor but he lived next door to a man whom I think is mine--William Beasley who patented land with Edward haelly/Hawley in 1665. Then there is a Dyas who marries a Beasley several generations later in Craven Co., NC.
POSSIBLE CHILDREN ARE THOMAS JR, WILLIAM, AND ISABELLA.
