-- [ From: Jackson H. Day * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] -- Greetings to other Beall researchers. I think I've gotten onto the Beall list finally. I still don't have much time for genealogy but hope I can help out occasionally. Lisa Simms has posted my database on the internet. I haven't had time to change it much since 1996, but anyone who wants a current copy is welcome to it--send me an email with your line of descent form a Beall (I stick these in the database in case there's a chance you may run into a cousin) and I'll give you my postal address. Send me a disk and SASE and I'll copy the database. It attempts to capture every bit of stuff I can find on Bealls in Maryland before 1800, and it's in Wordperfect 5.1 for DOS, which will import into most any Windows based PC program. Mac users are on your own! The DB now takes up just about a full 1.4 meg floppy. I put the DB together to try to find some trace of a connection between my ancestor and the rest of the Bealls. The entry for my earliest ancestor is below. Note the combination of William and Alexander--where have we heard that before? I'm surprised there's not a Ninian too. And none of them connect. Note also my codes -- G = Guess. Absolutely. The database is arranged by birthdate, so it's a place to hang the data. LESS reliable than "circa." B-WILLSIMP William Beall, b. G1720, father of Alexander Beall, Landowner, and therefore probably grandfather of William Simpson Beall. Presume not younger than age 21 when granted virgin property to clear, a task for younger men; not likely to be born later than 1734, which would make him 18 years old on the latest likely date for son Alexander's birth. Since Alexander was called on to transfer property immediately after William's death, assume death in 1763 and Alexander 21 at that time, or b. G1742. If William in turn was m. at age 21 & aged 22 when Alexander born, William b. G1720. m. G1741 at age 21. Oct 3 1753 receives warrant for 10 acres of land; surveyed Jan 10 1754 as Long Lookt For. "...For and in consideration that William Beall of Frederick County... hath due unto him 42 acres of land....ten acres part thereof by virtue of a warrant for that quantity granted him the third of October 1753... and for the remaining 32 acres has paid the sum of One Pound Twelve Shillings Sterling Caution for the same as appears in our land office and upon such conditions and terms as are expressed in our conditions of Plantation of our said Province bearing date five April 1684 remaining upon record in our Province together with such alterations as in them are made by our further Conditions bearing date Four December 1696 - together also with the alterations, etc...We do therefore grant unto William Beall... parcel of land called Long Lookt For Beginning at a white Oak standing near the head of a Branch called Mapple Branch, a draught of lower Bennetts Creek...containing forty two acres...and laid out for 42 acres of land to be held of Conigocheige Manor....William Beall his heirs and assignees for ever to be holden of us and our heirs as of our Manor of Conococheague in fee and common...by fealty only for all Manner of Services Yielding and paying therefore yearly unto us and our heirs at our Receipt at our City of Saint Mary's at the two most usual feasts in the year viz. the feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Michael Arch Angel by even and equal portions the rent of One Shilling Eight Pence Half Penny Sterling in silver or Gold and for a fine upon every alienation of the land or any part or parcel thereof one whole years rent in Silver or Gold or the full value thereof in such commodities as we and our heirs...etc....Seal Ten Janury 1754 The (Horatio Sharpe was Governor of Maryland Horatio Great Sharpe at this time.)
