DETAILS MARYLAND-

The only ST. MARY'S, MD reference that I recall in approx 36 lineal feet of records accumulated over 28 years is:

Charles W. Beale (1845-1932) of Arden, NC ( brother of my great grandfather Edw. F. Beale of Phila) and his wife Maria did some Beale research circa 1901 in Virginia and Maryland. Maria states to EFB "These people also belonged in 1756 in St Mary's Co Maryland- where your uncle Robert Beale of Capitol Hill was married and some of them moved from St Mary's Maryland to Warrenton, VA and married the Lees."
The people Maria was referring to appear to be Charles L. Beale and John E. Beale whose names (according to Maria) appear on a $20,000 Willoughby Bond, the forfeiture of which cost George Beale his fortune when he came back from St. Croix. Evan's researcher found the 1827 Willoughby bond with John E. Beale's name on it, but no George Beale.
Maria also states; "some of them live at Remington, VA.-near Warrenton- and this confirms my previous conclusions- as that is where I found the Beales who heard their father often say that Truxtun Beale in Washington was their cousin”. Here she is referring to the BOSWELL family saying that Beale was a cousin.(see Scenario 1--VIRGINIA)
We note in the NEHGS research report of Aug 20, 08 mentions a BOSWELL- see DNA FINDINGS above : "V. 9, 1782-1786. This referred to a deed dated 2 Sep 1783 from James Boswell of Montgomery County to George Hargreaves of Charles County. A Thomas Beall of George County, justice of the peace for Montgomery County, was listed as a witness."
See Scenario 13- two brothers from Kent, one settled MA, "the other in Westmoreland county, Virginia, at a place named Bealeton, after the family." We note that Bealton is very near Remington and Warrenton, VA. These Beales claimed Edward F Beale (descended from George of St Croix), father of Truxtun Beale, was their relative.
DID THE BEALES FROM ST MARYS MOVE TO BEALTON/WARRENTON/REMINGTON AND THEN CLAIM TO BE RELATED TO EDWARD F BEALE/TRUXTUN BEALE?

Maryland- See M above for many details on GB III and his life in Washington, DC.The Maryland research tries to follow up on the suggestion made by EFB (west) in 1888 - see A - that the Beale family was descended from Ninian Beale from Scotland & Barbadoes. There are numerous Beale descendants from Ninian and his brothers, making this a complex process. KEY FINDINGS IN AN EFFORT TO ESTABLISH A NINIAN LINK :
a)- Catherine Duke (1704 - 1736 ) married in 1722 Ninian Beall (1696 - 1780 ). (see ltr to Brownyard dtd 11/1/87 front of file). We note in the Beale family records from Decatur House @ the Library of Congress that the Beale family is described as descending from John Beale of Maidstone England down through Thomas Beale of Chestnut Hill, VA to Thomas Beale who married Elizabeth Taverner, son John who married Catherine Duke, then son George who married Mary Murdoch. ( this version is similar to, but different from the EFB of Phila version of 1899 - see A ). WHY DID THE DECATUR HOUSE BEALES INSERT CATHERINE DUKE INTO THE FAMILY TREE ? Research shows that Ninian Beall & Catherine Duke had sons Richard, James, Ninian, Thomas, & Benjamin - no George. They lived in Prince George’s Co, MD. (see Gransee packet 11 July 1988).
b)- 1818- GB III buys land in DC from Gustavus Beall Jr, descended from the family of Alexander Beall (1649-1744) see ltr Brownyard 6/28/87.
c)- circa 1846- Col. Benjamin Lloyd Beall ( 1797-1863 -descended from Alexander 1649-1744) was stationed at Fort Tejon, CA with Edward F Beale (west)-see N. His daughter Elizabeth Beall (1827-1850) marries Theodore, the third son of David Porter and Evelina Anderson Porter of Greenbank, Chester, PA. As we have already noted in L, GB II’s daughter Elizabeth Ann Beale (born 1808) married William D Porter (1809-1864), son of David Porter of Greenbank. HERE WE HAVE A BEALE & BEALL MARRYING INTO THE SAME PORTER FAMILY OF GREENBANK.

The Maryland research came with another unusual finding. I learned that GB III bought his DC estate Bloomingdale from “a cousin by the name of Bradley, who came from the same part of Virginia that he did.” ( The Beale Family, by M. S. Chance, P. 25). My researcher found a deed in which William A. Bradley conveys to GB III in 1823 the 10 acres that became the Bloomingdale estate.(Brownyard 18 June 1987).I later discovered that William A. Bradley (born 1794- a contemporary of GB III)) was the son of Dr Phineas Bradley from Wilkes Barre, PA. Father & son moved to DC ca 1801.(ltr to Brownyard 6/28/87). ER- CHECK TO SEE IF BRADLEY FAMILY MARRIES ANY PENNA BEALES ??

EVAN'S EVALUATION OF MARYLAND AND WHY THE MARYLAND CONNECTION MIGHT WORK- THERE ARE NUMEROUS BEALES / BEALLS SPINNING OFF THE SCOTLAND BEALLS. GB III & EFB (WEST) ASSOCIATED WITH SOME OF THEM, SUGGESTING A RELATIONSHIP.
