    3. Hi Bealls: My name is Dennis Bell and I'm descended, I'm 99 per cent sure, from Alexander Beall of Largo, Fife Scotland, ca. 1565. From the Bells who stayed behind in Largo after the Battle of Dunbar in 1650. In fact my grandfather and great grandfather were both born in Largo in the last century. I'm fascinated with Col. Ninian Beall, the seven-foot giant who ended up owning most of Georgetown. I wondering if anybody out there has a computerized picture of him that can be emailed to me. I'm particularly interested in finding some sort of detailed account of what happened to Ninian during and after the Battle of Dunbar, his march to Durham Cathedral, imprisonment there by the Cromwellians, deportation to Barbados a few months later. His time in the Caribbean and subsequent shipment to Maryland around 1657. I need all the help I can get. Many thanks. Dennis Bell Burnaby, BC Canada dennis@cafe.net
