[Note: Although we cannot tell from the siblings listed which wife is the mother of which children, the 15 year gap between the first and second child of Capt. Charles Beall listed suggests that first wife Mary Walstead is the mother of the first child only (Ninian (3)). Also, when a younger child is given the same name as an older child, it is usually safe to assume that the older child had died, except here the author distinguishes between "Ninian the elder" and "Ninian the mariner".]
