Hello, I'm in search of information on the two following Beal's. #1 Richard Beal married Eliza Merchant b.1820/21 in Kent Co., Ontario they removed to Mi. about 1839/40 with her parents James Sprowell and Olive (Davis) Merchant. Eliza had 4 sisters and 5 brothers. #2 Josiah G. Beal married 1855 in Sanilac Co., Mi. to Julia Merchant b.1838. The Merchant girls are sisters, are the Beal fellas brothers? The girls were both born in Kent Co., Ontario. Any info on either of these families would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Patti J. Merchant-Minier
