BEAL John, m. by 22 April 1736, Virlinda, , dau. of Sarah Magruder, widow, of PG Co. (MDAD 13:31). The above entry has me stumped and I was hoping someone out there could educate me. I have that John Beall married Verlinda Magruder, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth(Beall) Magruder in 1712 in Prince Geo. County, Maryland-- their first child, Samuel Beall Jr. was born in 1713. The way I read this entry from the Maryland Marriages on the web site of Maryland archives <A HREF="http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/refserv/stagser/ssu1500/html/ss i1527b.html">Beall Marriages</A> is that They were married by 1736---not in 1736. Does anyone have any information to help me with this contradiction. Candee
