COLONIAL FAMILIES OF THE UNITED STATES DESCENDED FROM THE IMMIGRANTS Who Arrived Before 1700, Mostly from England and Scotland, and Tf?ho Are Now Represented by Citizens of the Following Names BELL BEAL BALE BEALE BEALL FROM DATA COLLECTED A.i."ID EDITED BY LrnuT.-CoLONEL FIELDER M. M. BEALL U.S. ARMY F. M. M. BEALL Lieut.-Colonel U. S. Army, Retired 1929 Introduction From state and county records and scraps of history collected here and there throughout the country indicate that the Bells and Bealls have figured extensively in the settlement and development of the nation. Many have been distinguished in the arts and science, in law and literature and in war and politics. We had one or more general officers in every war from the Revolution to and including the World War. We owe to ourselves, to our country and to posterity, the duty of collecting and publishing such information and records concerning the Bells and Bealls, as may become available. Pride: in family his­ tory should be encouraged and fostered, for it tend3 to strengthen the moral obligations, elevate the individual character, and l,roaden our patriotism. There were eighteen Beal, Beale and Bell immiitrants to the Province of Maryland before 1700, who left permanent descent to be considered. Many of these who spelled their names Bell, changed it to Beall soon after arrival. In many cases individuals have constructed reliable and valuable Bell and Beall lines, covering their own families, and then quietly filed their efforts away, not for a moment realizing that our great family is not only highly interested in, but is entitled to share with them, the knowledge and honors dcvclo,)Cd in their lines. This con­ dition should not be, for they collectively have not only nothing to be ashamed of but numerous virtues and many brilliant individuals to be proud of. The origin of the Bell Clan of Scotland does not seem to have been definitely recorded. Numerous data have seen collected and digested on the subject, which permits of satisfactory deductions. Previous to the Roman conquest Britain was inhabited by about forty tribes of people called the Cymri, or ancient Britons. Their origin is undetermined. Native legends indicate that they migrated from the East, and took possession of Britain in ancient times, long before the Christian Era. The names of their gods arc similar to those of ancient Phenicia and Babylon. 3 4 GENEALOGY OF THE BEALL FAMILIES The ri:ligion of the Cymri was Druidistical. The objects of their reverence were numerous, viz: Oak: trees, mistletoe, the hills, the rivers, the rocks, the sun or the fire-giver; and an imaginary god called Baal, Bel, Beil or Bell. Their priests were called Druids. Their places of worship did not consist of houses, but certain places in the hills formed by a circle of great stones. Many of the stone circles arc in existence today. The Romans found these Druid priests had great influence over the natives; so they tried to destroy the priests. They found that their directors and their chief meeting place were on the Isle of Mono or Anglesia, on the coast of Wales. They immc• diately killed the priests. and cut down their sacred trees. There were many other minor places of worship left after the chief one on Mono Isle had been dcetroycd, but their general authority had been destroyed, and finally disappeared when Christiani;y appeared. The Druids practiced human sacrifice. C:esar first invaded Britain in 55 B. C., and in 58 A. D. sent a Governor-General to control the Province. The Romans evacuated Britain 410 A. D. Saint Kcntigen and Saint Mungo· the Beloved, lit the torches of early Christianity in Britain, and began the destruction of paganism. Saint Ninian built his first church near Whithorn 391 A. D., and called it Candida Casa. Saint Patrick: commenced preaching in Ireland in 425 A. D. After the introduction of Christianity in Britain the Priests of Baal, Bel, Beil or Bell, finding their occupation gone, assembled, and for mutual protection, formed a clan called Baal, Bel, Beil or Bell. They located in Scotland on t!ie west coast. The first mention of the Bell Clan in Scotland's political history was in 1587, when the Bells arc put on the unruly lists of clans in the West Marshes. The literature of the early fifteenth century, and later, indicates that Scottish citizens by the name of Bell were separated into two classes, viz.: those who preserved the clannish form of government, and were referred to in political documents as the Clan Bell of the West Marshes. The other class we find scattered all through Scotland and Engl:md, paying little attention to clannish organiza­ tion, but successfully indulging in literary, scientific and military pur­ suits. These often, especially in England, changed their surname spelling from Bell to Beal and Beale. But the Bell relationship was IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 5 acknowledged; especially when a coat of arms is introduced, by using the Bell characters in the chevron. Bells Tower is mentioned in 1481 in an Act of Parliament. William Bell represented the Clan in Parliament in 1545-1547. In 1751 General Bell commanded Queen Mary's army in Sterling, after the capture of Dumbarton Castle. In some of the rural districts of Scotland the Fire Festival is today celebrated in May. This is a survival of the Fire Festivals practiced by the Druid priests, before the advent of Christianity. It was called the Festival Beltain, or Baa:tein or Bealltein. On the day of the festival the fires of the people were extinguished in the land. Then the Druid priests supplied the inhabitants with the Sa­ cred Fire of Baal, which the priests had kept continuously burning upon their altars.. (See the histories of Scotland by Jam_!!s Logan and John S. Kelsie.) As mentioned above, in 1587 the Bells of the West Marshes were on the lists of the unruly clans of Scotland. Many of them accepted the invitation of King James of England of about 1605, for Protestants to migrate to the Ulster Plantations in N Jrthern Ireland. These Plantations consisted of the Counties Tyrone, Donegal, Arm2gh, Cavan, Tennaugh and Derry, all attained by the English through conquest. King James invited immigrants from Engl:tnd and Scotland to occupy these desirable lands. Manr of the Bell Clan accepted. By 1725 more than 500 families of the Bell settlers had emigrated from Ireland to the American Colonies and flourished. According to the records of the Land Office, Annapolis, a large majority of the Bell immigrants to Maryland came over before 1700 from Scotland. Many of these Bells changed the spelling of their names from Bell to Beall and Beale. The first Bell immigrant who changed his name to Beall was John Bell of Saint Marys County on May 15, 1657. (See Md. Arcb., Vol. X, folios 505, 513, 514.) An incomplete survey of the Revolutionary ,var records shows that the- Bell, Beall and Beale citizens of the Pro,inces of Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina responded splendidly to the call to anns of 1776. The other provinces did just as well, but had fewer citi­ zens of the name in question. The records show North Carolina had 124, Virginia 134, and Maryland 188, who loved liberty and honor, and shouldered their rifles to back their love. There were many who 6 GENEALOGY OF THE BEALL FAMILIES enlisted in the militia of their counties, whose names failed to appear on the state records. The comrilation of the immigrants Beall and Beale and Beal and their descendants arc made up from many sources. The greatest care has been exercised. It has required much time and money to col• lcct and compile this record. It has been a great satisfaction to me to have been the humble compiler of a worlc that will be a source of · pride and plcasur.: to a great American family, who today claim 32,000 souls in these United States.

    Defining the Indigenous Cultural Landscape for The Nanjemoy and Mattawoman Creek Watersheds Prepared By: Scott M. Strickland Virginia R. Busby Julia A. King With Contributions From: Francis Gray • Diana Harley • Mervin Savoy • Piscataway Conoy Tribe of Maryland Mark Tayac • Piscataway Indian Nation Joan Watson • Piscataway Conoy Confederacy and Subtribes Rico Newman • Barry Wilson • Choptico Band of Piscataway Indians Hope Butler • Cedarville Band of Piscataway Indians Prepared For: The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Annapolis, Maryland St. Mary’s College of Maryland St. Mary’s City, Maryland November 2015 ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this project was to identify and represent the Indigenous Cultural Landscape for the Nanjemoy and Mattawoman creek watersheds on the north shore of the Potomac River in Charles and Prince George’s counties, Maryland. The project was undertaken as an initiative of the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay office, which supports and manages the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. One of the goals of the Captain John Smith Trail is to interpret Native life in the Middle Atlantic in the early years of colonization by Europeans. The Indigenous Cultural Landscape (ICL) concept, developed as an important tool for identifying Native landscapes, has been incorporated into the Smith Trail’s Comprehensive Management Plan in an effort to identify Native communities along the trail as they existed in the early17th century and as they exist today. Identifying ICLs along the Smith Trail serves land and cultural conservation, education, historic preservation, and economic development goals. Identifying ICLs empowers descendant indigenous communities to participate fully in achieving these goals.
  • Bladensburg Prehistoric Background

    Bladensburg Prehistoric Background

    Environmental Background and Native American Context for Bladensburg and the Anacostia River Carol A. Ebright (April 2011) Environmental Setting Bladensburg lies along the east bank of the Anacostia River at the confluence of the Northeast Branch and Northwest Branch of this stream. Formerly known as the East Branch of the Potomac River, the Anacostia River is the northernmost tidal tributary of the Potomac River. The Anacostia River has incised a pronounced valley into the Glen Burnie Rolling Uplands, within the embayed section of the Western Shore Coastal Plain physiographic province (Reger and Cleaves 2008). Quaternary and Tertiary stream terraces, and adjoining uplands provided well drained living surfaces for humans during prehistoric and historic times. The uplands rise as much as 300 feet above the water. The Anacostia River drainage system flows southwestward, roughly parallel to the Fall Line, entering the Potomac River on the east side of Washington, within the District of Columbia boundaries (Figure 1). Thin Coastal Plain strata meet the Piedmont bedrock at the Fall Line, approximately at Rock Creek in the District of Columbia, but thicken to more than 1,000 feet on the east side of the Anacostia River (Froelich and Hack 1975). Terraces of Quaternary age are well-developed in the Bladensburg vicinity (Glaser 2003), occurring under Kenilworth Avenue and Baltimore Avenue. The main stem of the Anacostia River lies in the Coastal Plain, but its Northwest Branch headwaters penetrate the inter-fingered boundary of the Piedmont province, and provided ready access to the lithic resources of the heavily metamorphosed interior foothills to the west.

  • This Land Is Whose Land?

    This Land Is Whose Land?

    This Land Is Whose Land? Author: Mary Davis, Anne Arundel County Public Schools Grade Level: Upper Elementary Duration: One 90 minute class (or two 1 hour classes) Overview: In the latter half of the 17 th century, the expanding colony of Maryland came into conflict with the Eastern Woodland Indian tribes who had been hunting and farming the region for almost 6,000 years. The conflict developed from competing views of land use. The Indians saw the land as the bearer of seasonal resources to be used when available and the English colonists saw it as a commodity to be bought and sold. When the Nanticoke tribe could no longer repel the incursions of colonists, they petitioned the Maryland Assembly to have lands granted to them for their exclusive use. The terms of the agreement and size of the lands granted were insufficient for the traditional lifeways of the Nanticoke, which led to further conflicts with their neighbors. In this lesson, the students will use a series of legal documents from the Maryland Assembly to trace the development of the conflict over land ownership. Content Standards: Era 1: Three Worlds Meet (Beginnings to 1620) Standard 2: How early European exploration and colonization resulted in cultural and ecological interactions among previously unconnected peoples Historical Thinking Standards: Standard 3: Historical Analysis and Interpretation C. Analyze cause­and­effect relationships and multiple causation, including the importance of the individual, the influence of ideas, and the role of chance. Lesson Objectives: ­Students will read primary source documents about relationships between colonial Maryland and nearby Native American tribes.

THE FOUNDERS OF MARYLAND. PEEFACE. Every year, the citizens of ancient Padua crowd the costly church, dedicated to their townsman, the Italian Saint Anthony, and hang upon its walls, or around the shrine, sketches in oil, or water colors, commemorative of important events in their lives. One of the many good results of the centennial year of the American Republic j is the taking down from the garrets, the neglected portraits of our forefathers, the removal of the stains and dust, the substitution of new frames, for those battered and worm eaten, and in remembering their labors for posterity. With the aid of manuscripts, brought to light during the last decade, and access to the papers of the British Kecord Office, we can now portray more accurately, and hang in a better light, the Founders of Maryland. The object of this little book, is to state facts, which had become obscured or forgotten, concern- 6 Preface. ing the first European settlers on the shores of the Potomac River, and Chesapeake Bay. Bearing in mind, the sentiment of Hieronymus " in a letter to Epiphanius : Malem aliena vere- cunde dicere, quam jura imprudenter ingerere," I have recorded facts, gleaned from the manuscript Provincial Records at the capital of Maryland, and other documents of the Provincial period, rather than obtruded my own opinions.
