I don't know if anyone's seen the searchable archive at the MD State Archives site yet, but it's a winner. http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/refserv/stagser/ssu1500/html/ssi1527a.html At the archive site, I've run across a David Beall who's unfamiliar to me: Hill, James, m. by Dec 1730, Jane, dau. of David Beall,Sr. (AALR IH&TI#1:67). JAMESON, John, m. by 1730, Eliza, dau. of David Beall (AALRIH&TI#1:77). If he's got daughters who are married by 1730, then he's probably born around 1700. I assume the AA in the index is Anne Arundel, but I'm not certain. Anybody know who he might be? Lisa Simms Beall Search : http://people.ne.mediaone.net/lsimms/beall0.html
