  COLONEL GEORGE BEALL, youngest child of Ninian and Ruth (Moore) Beall,
  born at Upper Marlboro, in Prince George's County, MD, 1695, and died in
  Georgetown, D.C., March 15, 1780, aged 85.  His tomb is at Georgetown. 
  He was appointed a Major, September 21, 1776.  By an Act of May 15, 1751,
  the Legislature, of Maryland, provided for laying out a town on the
  Potomac River above Rock Creek, and a part of George Beall's land was
  taken, and divided into lots, he being allowed the privilege of first
  selecting two lots; he sent the following answer:
  "If I must part with my property by force, I had better have a
  little than be totally demolished.  Rather than have none, I accept these
  lots '72' '79'.  I do hereby protest and declare that my acceptance of
  said lots, which is by force, shall not debar me from future redress from
  the Commissioners and others, if I can have the rights of a British
  subject.  God save King George! George Beall."
  He married Elizabeth, the daughter of Thomas and Barbara (Dent) Brooke. 
  Among his many children there were three named "Thomas,", tow of whom
  died young.
