Notes from Walter Beal of Winston-Salem, NC:
"Thaddeus lived in what is now Montgomery County Maryland. On July 3,
1776 he was commissioned 2nd Lieut. in the Frederick County Militia. On
August 7th, he was in Captain Burgess' Company, Lower District of
Frederick County. In September he was Brigade Major for General Rezin
Beall (a distant cousin) at Flying Camp, Maryland. Thaddeus was listed on
October 2nd as 2nd Lieut. Montgomery County Militia, and was shown as
1st Lieut. in the 29th Battalion on January 21, 1777. He was Captain,
Lower Battalion, Maryland Line on September 12th.
Thaddeus moved to Guilford County, North Carolina, where on 18 Aug 1784 he purchased 400 acres from Henry C Davis for 100 pounds, which
he sold on 23 Aug 1785 to Thomas Landwith for 100 pounds after
obtaining 800 acres of land grants. These land grants were given at the
rate of 50 shillings per 100 acres. Thaddeus received the following Grants:
8 Nov 1784 Grant #1078 for 500 acres and #962 for 300 acres; 6 May
1787 Grant # 1415 for 300 acres; and 16 May 1787 Grants #1234, 1267,
and 1315 for 300 acres each.
He sold 243 acres of this land on 10 March 1788 and sold the remaining land in five transactions beginning 12 July 1791, and ending 21 November 1791, after which he must have made his move to Georgia. The 1790 Census showed him in Guilford County with a family of 1 man, 4 boys, 6 females, and 12 slaves. Since there are a large number of marriages between Bealls and Dents, it should be noted that much of Thaddeus's land lay next to that of William Dent. There was also a Peter Dent in Guilford County in the late 1700's.. Thaddeus served on a Guilford County jury during the May 29, 1787 court session.
Thaddeus's sons Frederick, Thaddeus, and William settled in Franklin County, Georgia, where Frederick was Clerk of Ordinary (Probate) Judge from 24 July 1799 through 1825. But it appears that Thaddeus settled in Warren County. A three page inventory of his estate dated 5 July 1808, with a total worth of $4,989.42 1/2 was found in the court house in Warrenton. He is also listed on a DAR Plaque at the court house, naming the Rev. soldiers buried in Warren County. The DAR lists his death as 1815, which must be incorrect in view of the inventory of his estate."
Thaddeus Beall:
From the book: Alexander Beall_1649-1744 Pf Maryland One Line of Descent in America by William Hunter McLean
"Thaddeus and Amelia were born in Prince George's County, Maryland, before the formation of Frederick County. Records of deeds executed by Thaddeus indicate that he and Amelia lived as "Planters" in that part of Frederick County which became Montgomery County in 1776. Thus, they resided in the same general area as their parents.
Thaddeus Beall was a member of the Continental Army early in 1776, perhaps before. Published materials report Thaddeus as 'Private in Capt. Edward Burgess' Co.; 1st Lieut., Capt., Major on Gen. Resin Beall's Staff. Flying Camp, Md. troops. His military service is conclusively documented in correspondence of the Maryland Council of Safety as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Company of Captain Edward burgess on Wednesday, July 3, 1776
By November 20, 1779, a Montgomery County deed recites them to be 'of Guilford County, North Carolina.' pg 28
Thaddeus and Amelia Beall with moves to North Carolina and then Georgia generated a spirit that would carry their descendants as pioneers into Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and even to California soon after the Mexican War.
William Dent, the husband of Verlinda Beall, sister of Amelia and a Maryland associate of Thaddeus, accompanied or preceded Thaddeus to North Carolina, William Dent was the deputy Surveyor of Guilford County, North Carolina, is so recorded with Thaddeus as his 'sworn chain carrier,' and was also a neighboring land owner to Thaddeus'. pg 29
The 1790 census of Guilford County demonstrates Thaddeus had become very prosperous. 'Also, surveyors and their scarce instruments were in very great demand, the profession being highly respected and richly rewarded.'
Sometimes around 1794, Thaddeus moved his family accompanied by his adult sons, into unsettled, virgin county then in Greene County, Georgia. His footprints for the next ten years are obscure but after formation of Hancock County from Green County, records of his family are identifiable. Records are also found in Olgelethorpe County and in Warren County, where the family resided at Thaddeus' death." pg 30

"The following have helped define the relationships for Thomas of Samuel, Jr. of John and his descendants. Proof that Thomas' (of Col. Samuel) daughter Elizabeth married Aza/Asa Beall. Josiah is brother of Verlinda Beall who married her cousin Thomas. Will of Josiah Beall, Probate Records 1790-1850, wills Book A: Josiah Beall, p. 70 Dec. 11, 1804 -to nephew and neices, the children of Thomas Beall of Samuel and Verlinda, named: John Brooke Beall; Josiah Beall; Isaac Beall; Ann Beatty, the wife of John Conrad Beatty; Eliza Beall, the wife of Aza Beall; Lucy English, the wife of James English; Priscilla Beall; and Eleanor Beall deceased, therefore her children William Beall Beatty, Thomas Beall Beatty, Otho.. Beatty, Lewis Beatty and Sonia Beatty.
B-ALEX-232 Josias Beall, b.1715- "Heterick (I:33) says unable to locate references to children other than Verlinda and Josiah." Proof of other children- Lucy:(she names Thomas of Col Samuel and Verlinda's children as well as her brother Josiah, above) Lucy is the sister of Josiah and Verlinda, children of Josiah (1715-1768):
Will of Lucy Beall, Allegany Co. Probate Records 1790-1850, will Book A:
Lucy Beall, 5/23/1799 to brother Josiah give all the following negroes to wit one negro woman named Catherine with all the following children: Jeremiah, Adam, James, Samuel, Joshua, Sazais and Isaac to him his heairs and assign forever; to Priscilla Beall, daughter of my sister Verlinda Beall, deceased give negro woman Phillis; to Lucy Beall, daughter of my sister Verlinda Beall, deceased give negro woman Peg; to Ann Beall, daughter of my sister Verlinda Beall, deceased give negro woman Aucie; to Ann Juliett Beall, daughter of Asa and Elizabeth Beall, one negro girl Nance; to Lucy, Ann, Elizabeth, and Pricilla daughters of my sister Verlinda Beall, deceased, I give all my apparel; to Lewissa Elinor Beatty, daughter of John Carrol Beatty, one negro girl, V...? to brother Josiah furniture..." Also mentions Elizabeth as a daughter of her sister Verlinda and that Elizabeth married Asa.
Thaddeus: from Samuel Beall, Jr.s's Will in Washington Co, Jan 10,1778:
"I hereby order and direct that my executors . . . do sell at public vendue to the highest bidder after giving three months notice in the Maryland and Pennsylvania Gazettes land called Gift land called Philadelphia . . . land called Berlin land called Christys Folly condemned in the name of Josiah Beall as nominal Sheriff for my use, to be conveyed by Thaddeus Beall, his son and heir . . .
Walter and Richard: identified as a sons in the administrators bond of Thaddeus. Proof that Priscilla, daughter of Thomas of Samuel of Ninian didn't marry Walter Slicer, but in fact Priscilla, daughter of Thomas of Samuel of John did.
Will from Richard Beall son of Asa and Elizabeth, Will in Allegany County:
"to my nephew Richard, son of my brother Thomas Beall, $500 in trust for his education; to daughter Verlinda McKaig Beall (not of age yet); free my negro woman Clarissa when she is 30 years as well as her child Talbot as well as all other children she may have when they are 30; to my aunt Priscilla Slicer, the house; to Reverend Samuel H. McDonald, minister of the Presbyterian Church, lot 99 in Cumberland, to my brother Alpheus Beall and my brother-in-law Samuel Eckles, all the rest of my estate" (Note: Priscilla Slicer is sister to his mother Elizabeth Beall) PS: Still looking for primary sources to prove Henry Tomlinson Beall was the son of Isaac and Rebecca Tomlinson. He is administrator of Isaac's estate, but no relationship is mentioned. (He was born the year after his grandfather, Thomas of Samuel, bequeathed Isaac's children with the bulk of his estate)
