From: Archive
Magruder, C. C., 1911. Colonel Ninian Beall. Historical Papers of the Society of Colonia Wars in the District of CoIumbia, No. 6, Jan 27, 1911.
- Traditionally Colonel Beall was the father of twelve children. He mentions but three of them in his will by which he devised about two thousand eight hundred acres of land. Undoubtedly he had previously conveyed property to other sons and daughters upon their reaching age or marrying.
- Unfortunately the records of Calvert, in which county Colonel Beall lived until 1696, were destroyed by fire in 1882, so that it seems impracticable to secure all of their names. The most acceptable list includes John, Thomas, died unmarried in England, Ninian, married Elizabeth. Captain Charles, married Mary , Colonel George, married Elizabeth Brooke, Sarah, married Captain Samuel Magruder, Hester, married Colonel Joseph Belt, Jane, married Colonel Archibald Edmondstone, Mary, married Andrew Hambleton, Margery, married (firstly) Thomas Sprigg, 3d, and (secondly) Colonel Joseph Belt, her sister Hester's widower; Rachael, married Offutt, James.
