Debbie in MI Alexander & Elizabeth's son James was dec'd by 16 Jan 1743, when Alexander made his will. There was an Archibald Beall in Bourbon Co, KY who was a surveyor, and surveyed a tract in Fayette Co, KY for another anc of mine, Arnold Custer, in 1784. Signed as Archibald E. Beall. I believe I saw this Archibald's will in Paris, KY. I think I concluded that he had not served in MD in Rev War. He had a substantial estate as I remember. He may well have gone south as a young man, before Rev War. Militia and Cont Line sources from VA, Carolinas, GA may fill in some gaps there. He rec'd enough education to survey. There was an Archibald Beall in GA who rec'd a land warrant for service. Charlie
