-- [ From: Jackson H. Day * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] -- Charlie Marck mentions Ann Pottinger and James Beall. As indicated by the two entries below from my database, Ann Pottinger was herself the daughter of Mary Beall, one of two sisters brought over from Scotland by their 'kinsman' Col. Ninian Beall. The James Beall whom Ann married was a grandson of Alexander Beall, Immigrant, who was also considered a 'kinsman' by Col. Ninian, but no particular relationship has been established. Some of the e-mail addresses listed as source in my material may no longer be operative; I didn't realize at first how much people change e-mail addresses. B-SIS-2. Mary Beall, b. Scotland 1660 (or 1658), d. PGC 1720. m. ca 1685 or 1686 John Pottenger, b. 17 Jul 1662, d. 7 Apr 1735 (Robert Sherwood (TXFP92A) Silver Spring) in Collington Branch, Queen Anne's Parish, MD (Bieber). She apparently came to PG Co, MD from Scotland. John Pottenger was son of Henry Potynger, b. 1629 and Sarah Stanton. Henry in turn was son of Richard II, son of Richard Potynger, son of John Potynger, b. ca 1540. (H. Anne Whiteman (RVWN63A) Northridge, CA) (John Pottinger also m. Elizabeth Magruder, dau of Alexander, b. Jan 1676/7. (Carolyn Collins (NVXJ48A) Indiana) (10 children) John Pottinger was associated with Major's Lott, PGC, which is mentioned in his will. It is estimated that a Sarah Bell and a Mary Bell appeared about this time in now Prince Georges County, and that they came with these above mentioned 25 families that came with the Rev. Nathaniel Taylor" Apparently Col. Ninian Beall help to finance Rev. Taylor's building of a church, giving him land in Upper Marlboro, and ordering a silver service. "The Rev. Taylor was fully equipped to carry out Ninian's desire, expressed in the deed for the lot, to wit: "For ye propagation of ye Gospel of Jesus Christ". Accounts which show Mary or sister Sarah as daughters of Ninian are in error. Children's names and dates from Beverly Kercheval, whose major source was Parran.
