George Beall was a wealthy landowner in Maryland and Georgetown in what is now Washington, D.C.. ^[7]

Beall's Levels and Rock of Dunbarton, part of his landholdings, were surveyed in 1752 as a possible site for George Town (now Georgetown). Maryland offered Beall two lots in the town, along with the "price of condemnation" (remuneration). Beall protested the proceedings, though ended up accepting two lots.

Monday, Jul 31, 1780.

George Beall's land, meaning the late Colo George Beall, and some years after, the late George Read also showed this deponent the sd tree and told him that it was the beginning tree of the late Colo George Beall's land named the Rock of Dumbarton. Signed - Samuel Magruder son of Ninian. John Clagett, aged 67 next Oct, at the stump above the mouth of Rock Creek Branch described in the foregoing depositions, deposes that when George Town was first laid out, the Commissioners for sd Town, the deponent being one of them, sent for Luke Bernard to show them the beginning of The Rock of Dumbarton, Colo Beall's land, when he showed the tree of which this is the stump afd, and to the best of his knowledge, John Dowden showed him and the other Commissioners the sd tree for the beginning of George Beall's land. Signed - John Clagett. Andrew Heugh, age 51 years last Jan, being one of the afd Commissioners, at the stump afd, says that about 30 years ago, when the deponent kept store at Rock Creek Warehouse for Messrs Robt. and Thomas Dunlop of Glasgow, merchants, the late Colo George Beall was often at the store with the deponent, that Thomas Edmonstone, his nephew, pretended to take up a piece of land at the mouth of Rock Creek Branch, deemed by every one about the place, to be Colo Beall's land. This seemed to give the Colo a good deal of concern and he showed this deponent a paper containing either what Luke Bernard did or would swear, relative to the beginning of his land, which the deponent well remembers was very positive, and that Barnard said in that paper, he had his knowledge of the beginning or bounds of the lands from a certain Jacky John Williams, many years before, and further, this deponent says that the late George Gordon showed him, some years after, a tree. He thinks this is the stump of it, meaning the stump afd, for the beginning tree of the Rock of Dumbarton. Signed - Andrew Heugh. The petitioners and proprietors, Messrs George and Thomas Beall are of the opinion the beginning of their land named the Rock of Dumbarton is sufficiently proved.

1800 Second Marriage to Elizabeth

George Beall (1729-1807), brother of Thomas, married first Anna and second Elizabeth. ^[22]

On 13 September 1800, George Beall, Jr married Elizabeth. Sources differ as to whether she was Elizabeth Magruder or Elizabeth Beall. Since she was aged 72 at the time, it is likely that one name or the other reflected a prior marriage.

Since Elizabeth would have been 72 on the date of their marriage, she is not the mother of George Beall's children.

Elizabeth Magruder

Fielder M. M. Beall shows him married as of 1748 to Elizabeth Magruder, daughter of Alexander Magruder (1707-1751) and his wife Ann Wade ^[4] Since George Beall had married Ann 3 years before, and there is no record of either a divorce or a scandal, this date is certainly in error, and the name and relationship is uncertain.

A descendant, Thomas Willing Balch ^[3] also asserts that Elizabeth Magruder, originally McGregor, was George's Beall's wife.

A number of popular genealogies which do not give sources, also show Elizabeth Magruder as the wife of George Beall and the mother of his children.

Elizabeth Beall

A Prince Georges County Marriage license shows George Beall married to Elizabeth Beall on 13 September 1800 in Prince George's County, Maryland. ^[23] The license is also cited by Heterick, and by Jourdan. ^[11] The license alone does not provide further details about either George or Elizabeth.

1800 Census

George Beall, Jr, died in Georgetown, Washington, DC on October 15, 1807.^[5]

The Will of Col. George Beall was written 11 Jun 1802 and proved 20 Oct 1807. ^[27] Reflecting the transition in the creation of the nation's capital, the will refers to "Washington Co., State of Columbia."

George Beall's will was written 11 June 1802 and proved 20 October 1807.

Children

George Beall, Jr.'s children were born between 1758 and 1771 to first wife Anne, who died in 1799. ^[11] Mistaking George's last wife for his first, Fielder Beall states "George and Elizabeth had nine children: George, Levin C, Erasmus, Thomas Brooke, Hezekiah, Elizabeth, John Brooke, Ann, and Richard." ^[4] but is in error; the children were Anne's.
