Hi folk, I decided my BEALL lines were too prolific and overwhelming, so I decided to work on a more obscure family, the DOWDENs - and guess what? Found a BEALL marriage, of course. Elizabeth BEALL daughter of Alexander BEALL married Michael Ashford DOWDEN who was born 3 Sept 1737. The 1737 is the only date I have so far; the marriage was probably in MD. I know there were multiple Elizabeth's and multiple Alexander's, but is this enough to connect with anything you all have? Diane Hettrick Seattle dhettrick@earthlink.net
