I, too, am interested in this family of Thomas Beal, Chatham Co., NC. His son Benjamin, may be the father of my Rhoda Creal Beal (I've seen it with both one L and two L's??). Does anyone have any further information on Benjamin, son of Thomas? I have two different sets of parents on him, depending on the number of L's, but Rhoda's birthplace has always been listed as Chatham Co. Joyce A. Hopkins jhop7134@aol.com
