Just found this while wandering in my Beall stuff: Will of James Beall of Robert (Liber B., folio 139), in the Register of Wills Office, Rockville, Md. "I devise and bequeath to my beloved sons, Jeremiah and Zephaniah Beall, all that tract, 'The Resurvey on Enster Rectified and Divided, ' containing 416 acres, equally. My beloved wife, Margaret, to hold the dwelling place, which consists of four lots, the remainder of the original tract 'Enster,' 140 acres, 1st vacancy, 40 acres; part of 2d vacancy, 38 acres, and also a resurvey on 'Bachelor's Purchase' one part of Wm. Tee. My three daughters, Catherine Loveless, Margery Loveless, and Mary Sinter, with son, Daniel, to hold their mother's part, reserving the family burial ground. Sons Jere miah and Zephaniah Beall, executors. Testator, Thomas TURNER, Probated Aug. 14, 1783. Register of Wills." >Catherine Beall was the daughter of James Beall (1698-1793) and Margaret >Edmonston. The records I've seen (DAR; DAC; Gaither book; various Beall >books) indicate that she married my ancestor, Charles Lovelace. >For some reason, Lovelace researchers say that Charles married Catherine >Robey and his brother Isaac married Catherine Beall. Earlier this week, >I found a Robey book and they had Isaac married to Catherine Robey. In >other words, all sources but the Lovelaces seem to accept the Charles >Lovelace/Catherine Beall marriage as fact. Do any of you have >documentation on this? I need to know whether to research the Bealls or >the Robeys! Thanks in advance. >Karen
