Finally found geneological information from gr grandson of this civil war general. Though no Grant or Lee he is listed on several civil war web sites and is in the book Generals In Gray. (14) Brigadeer General William Nelson RECTOR BEALL (1825-1883) (28) Samuel TANNAHILL BEALL(1789-1840) (29) Sallie RECTOR(1794-1840) (56) Walter BEALL (1741-1810) (57) Rebecca TANAHILL(1751-?) (112) Colonel Samuel BEALL (1713-1778) (113) Eleanor BROOKE (1718-1778) (224)John BEALL (1688-1742) (225) Virlinda MAGRUDER (1693-1745) (448) Col. Ninian BEALL (1625-1717) ((449) Ruth MOORE (1648-?) He traces lineage back further , but after John BEALL the charts differs from those of Lisa Simms. He says he was told by his grandparents that he was descended from the Indian fighter Ninian Beall. Thanks to all of you who helped me find my "General Bell" Hope that the above info can be of some help to others. Linda
