    Fredric Z. Saunders says (giving evidence) that:<ref></ref>

    There are several myths that have attributed Mary, wife of John POTTINGER,
    and Sarah, wife of Samuel MAGRUDER as being children of Ninian BEALL.
    While that has been disproved, in that the evidence shows that Ninian's
    daughter Mary married Andrew HAMILTON, the thought remains among some
    researchers that they were BEALL sisters, and relatives of Ninian. The
    couples were related in that Samuel MAGRUDER in his will call John POTTINGER
    his "brother" [brother-in-law].
