I am looking for any info on Morris BEALS/BEALE who lived in Currituck Co,NC.He married Julia DEVAUL/DUVAL. I believe they were born in the late 1700's. I have been told he may descend from one of the families in Maryland,but I am still trying to find his origin at this time. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Cindy Fregoe

Hi Everyone, Can anyone give me some info on Zadok Beall from Logan County Kentucky? He had a son Middleton and it looks like my Thomas was a son of Middleton, but which Middleton? The one who belonged to Zadok or to Robert & Hannah Beall? My Thomas is the one who married Martha Finch. Hope someone can help. Roberta Summers

Need Help! Pomp Beal had two sons : 1)George Washington Beal b Oct 13 1886 or 1888?, NC d Oct 12 1960, Catawba Co, NC married Bertha Lee Troutman. 2) Willis Beal married Alma ? Anyone have information on these people? Thanks, Lesa

I keep seeing a lot about Ninian Beall. I don't know if my Beals/Bales are related in any way to him. I've been so frustrated with this line! It's been so difficult to trace anything. I've only gotten back about 4 generations. I keep hitting brick walls. So, I stop working on it for a while and start working on other lines. I've found a ton on everything except the Beals/Bales. I'm sure that mine were Quakers because they lived in parts of the country where Quakers were very prevalent---until they moved to Illinois. I think that they were kicked out for marrying outside of the faith though and moved away. I know they came from TN, before that I don't know. My John Bales/Bayles/Beals/Bails/Bailes came to Indiana and married Roda Keller and then they moved to Shelby County, IL. Nancy

I just saw on the CBS evening news that there is a virus due to be released tomorrow (Sunday, July 26) that is meant to attack your hardware, rather than your software... it could cause you to need a new motherboard. They said that the major virus programs (Norton, Dr Solomon, Etc) will protect your computer from this virus, but they also said it would be a good idea not to log onto the internet tomorrow.

Has anyone found the portrait of Col. Ninian Beall. If you have please post so we all can find. Carolyn Kay Beall Darke

-- [ From: Jackson H. Day * EMC.Ver #3.1a INTERNATIONAL ] -- Diane, several days ago you posted a note about an Elizabeth Beall, daughter of Alexander, who married Michael Ashford Dowden, who in turn was b. 3 Sept 1737. Here is an Elizabeth who would fit. B-ALEX-211-7 Elizabeth Beall, b. 1744 of Captain Alexander Beall [c. 1712] inherits �20 in her father's will of 1759. This was of course a Maryland family. Dowden would have been 21 in 1758 . Elizabeth would have been 15 in 1759 when her father's will was written. Maybe he married her for her �20 when she was 16 in 1760? Jack Day

Hi to Lee, Sallie and everyone, The Magruders came with the marriage of Ninian Beall and Ruth Moore's daughter Sarah2 Beall, b.1656, d.1734 to Samuel Magruder. I personally am descended from Sarah's sister Jane Beall who married Archibald Edmonston. However, I have never before noticed a DOWDEN mixed in the BEALL family and wondered if anyone else had. I'm concentrating on DOWDENs right now and trying to create a database. Where are the BEALL databases online? I have used Linda Davies web site at: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/d/a/v/Linda-M-Davies/GENE2-0001.html but I didn't find any DOWDENs. Quite nice for the Ninian & Ruth (Moore) Beall family, however. Any help would be great.

Sallie, I have alot of Magruders and Offutts with my Beall line. Let me know who you are looking for, and I'll see if I have anything on them. Lee

Diana, Did you by any chance find any Magruders, among your Bealls?

Hi folk, I decided my BEALL lines were too prolific and overwhelming, so I decided to work on a more obscure family, the DOWDENs - and guess what? Found a BEALL marriage, of course. Elizabeth BEALL daughter of Alexander BEALL married Michael Ashford DOWDEN who was born 3 Sept 1737. The 1737 is the only date I have so far; the marriage was probably in MD. I know there were multiple Elizabeth's and multiple Alexander's, but is this enough to connect with anything you all have? Diane Hettrick Seattle dhettrick@earthlink.net

Hi Lisa, I hope you receive this letter today. I sent one yesterday and it was returned so decided to also sent one to the Beall list in case it doesn't go thru at your address. Thanks for answering my query. I went to your web page and tried to download the gedcom but nothing showed up. Am new to the computer so I am sure I did something wrong. Will spend today coping the info. How are you related to Thomas & Martha? am sure you have that on your webpage but I haven't found it yet. The Beall family is my husband and his gr. grandmother is Amanda Bell who was the daughter of Thomas & Martha. Amanda married Thomas Goben in Mason county. Do you know where in Mason county that Thomas & Martha are buried? I always thought they lived around Bath, Illinois so maybe they are buried at Bath. Yes, I have two family programs. The one I use all the time is Family Origins by Parsons. I also have the Family Tree Maker. Can't think of anything more at this time. Until later. Roberta Summers.

I am interested in making contact with anyone who has information regarding the Beall family from Bourbon County, Kentucky. Specifically, Nathaniel Beall, son of Archibald Beall. I have little information on these individuals - only that Nathaniel was married to Sarah Talbot of Grayson County, Virginia. I recently read that there was a Sarah Beall from Bourbon County, Ky. and I was wondering if there is any relation and if so, how they may be related. Thanks for any response in advance.

Hi Everyone, I am new to the list and I am seeking information on Thomas Beall/Bell and he was born abt. 1806 in Ky. On 7th. Jan 1828 he married Martha Finch in Logan Co. KY. Thomas & Martha moved their family from KY to Mason Co. Illinois. They had 7 children that I know of. After Martha died Thomas married Margaret Barnes 21 Dec 1847 in Mason Co. Illinois. Thomas & Margaret had 5 children that I know of. Did Thomas die in Mason Co. or did they move on? Did Martha die in Mason Co. or did she die on the trail from KY? Martha & Thomas children stayed in Mason Co. The family of Thomas & Martha changed the spelling to Bell but some of Thomas & Margaret children spell it Beal. Can anyone help with this family? Roberta Summers.

Giniwalton@aol.com sent me the following info on her relative: she wanted to share it with the Beall group. Rebecca Beall m. 1 Nov 1827 Thomas Jefferson Conner, Allegany Co. MD. She said she hoped this helps someone.

Rachel Bealle or Beal, daughter of Benjamin Beal, married Nicholas Dixon or Dickson, of Isle of Wight co., VA, and settled in Edgecombe county and Halifax county, NC, with him. Are the Bells of Bertie, Halifax, and Edgecombe, NC, the same family as the Bealles or Beals of Isle of Wight, VA? Megan Rose

-- [ From: Jackson H. Day * EMC.Ver #3.1a INTERNATIONAL ] -- Expanded recipient data: To: Pvmeistrel \ America On-Line: (PVMEISTREL) Rita, I tried to see what I could find on the Captain Thomas Beall family listed in the 1827 equity case, and I have very little beyond that generation. That case is the source for much of my information, so all I have is "living outside MD in 1827." There were a couple -- the Beatty group -- which were in Xenia, Greene Co. Ohio.
