Name

Her maiden name was Beall. She married her first cousin, Basil Beall, thus becoming Arianna (Beall) Beall.

The spelling of her first name is uncertain. "Ariana" and "Arianna" are both found in the sources used. The spelling "Arey Ann" is found in her baptism record. In the abstract of the will of her father, John Beall, d. 1800, the spelling is "Ariana"^[1]; E. Heterick uses the spelling "Arianna." ^[2]

Arianna is listed as the third child of John Beall, b. 1728, and Mary Dent, b. ca 1731, d/o Peter Dent and Mary Brooke. Arianna is also included in the will of John Beall, d.1800. ^{[1] [2]}

The journey westward took place sometime after 1812, when she purchased land in Sharpsburg, and before 1833. "Ariana living in Cincinnati in 1833 according to nephew’s will." ^[1] It is uncertain which members of her family traveled with her on the journey westward.
