Just a few thoughts on Thomas 1. Have you looked at Ohio land records. I have found wonderful information there. Some read like wills. Have you checked out that Sunderland name? It might be Thomas 1's mother's name. John might be Thomas' father's name. Just things I would check out. You said once more. Hope you aren't giving up. Hardly anyone ever answers my queries but hope springs eternal. Is anyone keeping a database of Bealls?

The naming of their Maryland plantations also attested to their Scottish heritage. The Scottish spelling was "Bell" and was so= used in early Maryland records. Why "a" was inserted is unknown, but= after the first generation Beall was consistently used by all member= s of the family. = The Scottish research was conducted by the late Alexander Graha= m Bell who invented the telephone and phonograph, although he was not = a scion of the Fifeshire. = REF: Research by Alexander Graham Beall at the Library of Congress; Parish Register of St. Andrew's, Fifeshire, Registration House, Edinburgh. = P added info on the town of Bladensburg: first, a correction - Riversdale belonged to Charles Calvert, not Edward... the following, and the earlier post are from a book that I do not remember the name of, but copied the following: "J. Ninian Beall, in an article for the MD Hist. Magazine, claimed that Bladensburg..." ... was originally Bealltown, and that John Beall of Alexander [1688-1742] and his wife Verlinda Magruder [1690-1745] owned the tract called "Black Ash" or "Black Oak" long before it received the name of Bladensburg. As early as 1728 John Beall Sr was selling lots in the town, on the North Branch.. [of the Anacostia] and claims the General Assembly in 1742 set aside an area about 1/2 mile below "Beall Town" known as "Garrisons Landing" to be the new town called Bladensburgh. Originally Ninian owned the land on which Bladensburg stands, but when his dau. Rebecca m. Charles Calvert, Ninian Beall gave this land to them as a wedding gift. They called the area "Charles and Rebecca." At the time of the 1742 purchase, the tract belonged to Miss Elizabeth Calvert, whose family renamed the tract the Garrison - this Miss Calvert m. her cousin Benedict Calvert in 1748. 1750 she had 7800 acres, adding 7600 more in 1751. J. Ninian Beall owned extensive land near and around Bladensburg, but the town records never show his name. Nearby is the Bladensburg Dueling Grounds. In 1814 Edward Hopkins of MD d. here as a result of duelling, and nearly 50 other vengeful disagreements were settled, some agreeably and without bloodshed, others fatally. In 1819 Gen. Armistead questioned Col John M McCarty's right to vote in VA; the latter immediately challenged the former to a duel. The terms were muskets with buckshot at ten feet. Armistead d. instantly & McCarty recovered from a severe wrist wound, but never answered the psychological penalty of bitter penitance. The most notorious of those conflicts occurred in 1820 between notables of the US Navy - James Barron & Stephen Decatur, with Decatur being mortally wounded. found the name of the book- "Port of Bladensburg." This area also had been called "Scotland" at one time.

I found this on the web-- can not find the URL -- does anybody recognize it??Candee Notes NOTE: Most researchers do NOT believe that the Mary shown here is his daughter! Ninian Beall "came as an indentured Cromwellian Prisoner, served thirty-five years, lived to be 92, was six feet, 7 inches tall.... His thrift and perseverance made him an outstanding character of his day. He lived at `Fife Large', near what is now Georgetown, D.C." Georgetown is named for his youngest son, George. "The Beall family were people who stood pioneer life with fine physique...." - "Register of Maryland's Heraldic Families," Alice Norris Parran (Balt.: H.G.Roebuck & Son), p. 59. Ninian was Burgess, 1684; gave land for Presbyterian Church and presented it a silver Communion Service. Mary is not on the list of his known children! Largo, his birthplace, is on a lovely bay along the Firth of Forth NE of Edinburgh, Scotland. The surname Beal(l) or Bell is said to derive from ancient Druid priests known as "Na Belich" or the priests of Baal. There were 18 Beal, Beale and Bell immigrants to Maryland before 1700, and various Ninians, mostly from Scotland. Ninian was a devout Presbyterian and helped begin the congregation in Calvert County, MD - he sent to Scotland for a pastor and in 1685 the Rev. Nathaniel Taylor and his congregation arrived (about 25 families, believed to include Mary and Sarah Beall/Bell). They were given land in present-day Prince George's County. Sarah m. into the Magruder family, which was close to Ninian. The Presbyterian settlement is now New Scotland, MD.

Here is the last of the Beall marriages until 1847. I noticed that the last marriage ended with Beale--- there may be other spellings of Beall that I did not copy. If you know of any more- can you let us know. Also would like to correspond with others who are related to these BEALL women.

Does anyone have a documented ascending line from Harvey Beal, who maried Sarah Loveless 03 Jan 1830, Pickaway Co., OH? He had other spouses Rebecca White, Nancy June Taylor and Naomi Waller. Thanks, Ron Yielding

I copied the following from History of Allegany County, Maryland, by James W. Thomas, LL.D. and Judge T. J. C. Williams Volume I Baltimore, 1969 Page 444-446 Thomas Beall of Samuel, the Founder of Cumberland. "Thomas Beall of Samuel, founder of the city of Cumberland, Maryland, was born in July, 1744. He was the son of Col. Samuel Beall, and his wife Eleanor Brooke, the great granddaughter of Gov. Robert Brooke, of Maryland. Col. Samuel Beall was the son of John Beall, the son of Alexander Beall, who came to Maryland from Scotland in 1666. The mother of Col. Samuel Beall was Verlinda Beall, the granddaughter of Col. Ninian Beall ( of whom see further). Col. Samuel Beall was a man of great distinction in his day and generation. He lived in that part of Frederick county which is now Washington county, Maryland. He was several times the sheriff of Frederick County, was a member of the Committee of Correspondence and a Justice of the County Court of Frederick, and one of the twelve whose names the Daughters of the American Revolution have honored with a tablet in the Frederick County Court House he was chairman of the Committee of Safety of Washington County, Colonel of the 2nd battalion, and member of convention which formed the first Constitution of Maryland." Thomas Beall of Samuel was a captain of one of the Rifle companies which was engaged in the regiment of Col. Moses Rawlings, which took part in all the engagements around New York during the American Revolution, and which did such effect work. He served throughout the entire war, serving the last three years in the western department. An interesting affidavit of his, as the captain of his company, may be found in manuscript in the Manuscript Division of the Congressional Library. Shortly after the close of the war Captain Thomas Beall moved to the site of Fort Cumberland, purchased the necessary land and laid out the town of Cumberland. Many of the streets, he named after men prominent in the Civil and Military History of Maryland, such as Baltimore, Washington, Lee, Green, Smallwood, Paca, Beall, Jefferson, Pulaski. The town as laid out by him consisted of about five hundred lots, four of which, near the center of the town, he dedicated for county purposes, known now as Court House Square. Captain Thomas Beall married a cousin, Verlinda Beall, and had a daughter, Elizabeth Beall, who married her cousin Asa Beall , the son of Richard Beall, the brother of Captain Thomas Beall of Samuel. Asa Beall was the Clerk of Allegany county for twenty-eight years, and from this marriage came that branch of the Beall family to which the late Alpheus B. Beall belonged. Captain Thomas Beall of Samuel died in 1823, as appears from the following notice in the Maryland Advocate, published in Cumberland at the time: 'Died on Tuesday, the 25th, Captain Thomas Beall of Samuel, at an advanced age.' He was a participator in the struggles of the Revolution and proprietor of the town of Cumberland. Captain Beall had several other of his relatives who followed him to Cumberland, among them his two great nephews, Gustavus Beall, who was a prominent citizen of Allegany county for more than forty years, and Thomas Heugh Beall, the sons of Col. Thomas Brooke Beall, who left a large number of descendants. Gustavus Beall married Rachael, daughter of Benjamin Tomlinson of Allegany county, They had eleven children who, by intermarriage with the Eckles, Hedges, Gephart, Deford and Firy families, constitute a very large connection living in this and other parts of the United States. Thomas Heugh Beall, the brother of Gustavus, married a Miss Cheston of Philadelphia, and while they had only four children, they in turn left a large progeny, among them that progressive and enterprising and public spirited citizen of Cumberland, the late William Riland Beall, and his wife Rachael Beall, of such happy memory, and who had eight children. Another relative of Captain Thomas Beall of Samuel, who lived in Cumberland, was his great-niece Margaret Ann Williams, the wife of Leonard Holliday Johns, She was the daughter of Harriet Beall, the daughter of Brooke Beall, the brother of Captain Thomas Beall and his wife Margaret Johns, 2nd rector of Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Cumberland; Sarah Johns, the wife of Robert Read and mother of the Honorable William J. Read, formerly of Cumberland, and of Col. Thomas Johns, of the U. S. A., who married Mary Martha Magruder, and who were the parents of the mother of Thomas Johns Anderson, lawyer and United States Commissioner of this city.

Harvey Bean b. 19 Feb 1810, RossCo., OH; d.16 Jan 1887, Tippecanoe Co., IN. Son of Philip Beah and Mary Pryor. I am search for these ascending Beal and Pryor lines. Can anyone help me with documented connections? Thanks, Ron Yielding Palm Springs, CA.

-- [ From: Jackson H. Day * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] -- Re: New World Book of Bealls. "Carolyn Day" lives at the same address in Bath with Halberts and sends out folksy letters promoting the World Book of Days. With all the names of people writing the same letter to their respective families, it must be quite a houseful--or is it just one person? Jack Day

>.I just got a brochure from a publisher in Bath, Ohio,< To All... Save your money. The Eastman Newsletter ran a series of articles on Halberts two or three years ago. They have been in trouble with the Post Office for fraudulant advertising and are at it again with very carefully written mailouts. Basically what you get is a listing of every Beall, (or Baskin, or Kraus, or ...) in the U.S. Also there is some general background on people through history with the same name, but no genealogical content at all. In fact, the info concerning the area where the Eastman's settled, he says, is not even true. Also, the "leather grained cover" or however it's worded is, I believe, cardboard or something with a "grain" embossed into it. (It's been a while since I read the article). There seems to be a rash of these mailings lately, since I've been asked twice already in person. My rule of thumb: send your money to Bath, and you'll wind up taking one. (OK, it's late, but it seemed funny at the time) Steve Kraus

Hey, guys...I just got a brochure from a publisher in Bath, Ohio, for "The New World Book of Bealls" for $34.50. they say there are 4121 Bealls worldwide. the book is supposed to have 31 rare immigration records of Bealls, original ships manifests etc. etc.. fro Bealls dating back to 1638. What say you, are books like this worth buying? Thanks for your comments.
