> Thanks alot guys. I was sure I had found my General Beall (Confederate > Soldier) who was cousin to Mary Pumphrey Sample (1840-1920 )of Jefferson > County , Ohio. Now you say there is a second General Beall. Does anyone > know how to find the Fielder Beall book? Thanks Linda > There are probably two dozen Generals Beall, and though his book has many errors, Fielder Beall's book is probably the best source on this because he was a military man and made sure he tracked this sort of information. The book itself is in many genealogical libraries. I'm fortunate that a friend made an enormous photocopy of it for me. The Beall Family Association in Oregon has published an index to it which is quite helpful; the original book does not have an index. Jack Day
