BEALL Members of the Beall family, that is, Ninian, Thomas, Alexander, James and Robert, were natives of St. Andrew's Parish, Fifeshire, Scotland, where their births or baptisms are registered in the parish archives. The naming of their Maryland plantations also attested to their Scottish heritage. The Socttish Spelling was "Bell" and was so used in early Maryland records. why "a" was inserted is unknown, but after the first generation Beall was consistently used by all members of the family. The Scottish research was conducted by the late Alexander Graham Bell who invented the telephone and phonograph, although he was not a scion of the Fifeshire.
