Well, Virginia Tuttle, you've solved two questions I had -- (1) I wonder if Virginia Tuttle is still around and (2) who is this "gintut" at AOL! Good to hear from you, and in looking up my database I had come across the material you had previously sent. > Thanks for all the good Beall/Bell info. Jean Bell Martin and I are 1st > cousins and > working together to find parents of our Andrew J. Beall, b. 1815 (Ga. or > N.C.). With luck maybe you can find more cousins out of this query to share the load! > What makes you think that Thaddeus's son William was a General. Fielder M. M. Beall's work, Genealogy of the Beall Families in the United States of America refers on page 198 to General William Beall, b. 1790, of Carrol co., Ala. as thh 12th child of Thaddeus Beall, referred to on page 195-6, b. 1747. FMMB contains many errors, but he had a strong military interest and I'm inclined to trust the military data in his book. > Also Jean and I do not know if his brothers, William, James, and Elijah were > younger or older than Andrew. My guess of William's birthdate as being around 1787 is based on Andrew being the youngest. If the others were born after him, then William could have been born later. I guess we won't really know until we find birth dates for the brothers. > Andrew is the one who paid the taxes on the Ga. Lottery Land > (Floyd Co., Ga.). The land was sold in 1849 and the deed said the brothers > were > of Harris County, Ga. I went running to my local library when I discovered > the deed. > Guess what, none of these three were in Harris Co., Ga. in 1840 or 1850. I > feel if > we could find the brothers, we might find their parents. Thanks for your > help. I > have written to you in the past, also Roberta Hull, and Elise Jourdan, and > William > Beall of the Beall Assn. in Oregon. Thanks for your help and interest. > Virginia Tuttle > GinTut@aol.com Thank you. Good luck!
