-- [ From: Jackson H. Day * EMC.Ver #3.1a INTERNATIONAL ] -- Jean, I looked at the information you sent regarding Andrew J, orphan of a William Beall, and decided that if he was the youngest son, his father was probably married in 1808 and born about 1787, and if he was the oldest son, his father was probably married in 1814 and born about 1793. Then I looked in the 1780-1800 portion of my database of Maryland Bealls. I discovered that I already had an entry about this William, sent by a Virginia C. Tuttle in Marietta, Georgia. You may already know her: UPSONGA William Beall, b. G1787, m. G1808, d. ca 1818-1820, leaving son Andrew J. an orphan. Great-great-great granddaughter of William: Virginia C. Tuttle, 761 Prince Ave, Marietta, GA 30062 1. William, b. G1809 2. James, b. G1811 3. Elijah, b. G1813 4. Andrew J., b. 13 Apr 1815 (+) Doing a search on Williams in the same time period, I also found the following. This is a later entry, but is still possible. I have no other information, but if he was a General he should have left some tracks somewhere. The code tells me that he is in the mainstream of descendants of Alexander Beall, Immigrant, (B-ALEX-2), son of Alexander of Scotland (B-ALEX). There were also other Williams who were contemporary: William of Nathan went to Kentucky, William of Philip to Jefferson Co, Ohio, General William of Thaddeus to Guilford Co, NC, William of Evan to Carolina. B-ALEX-232-112 General William Beall, b. 20 Feb 1793/5, of General Frederick [1768] d. 22 Aug 1851. Lived Georgia. Do let me know how the research turns out!
