-Born in [[Montgomery County, Maryland]] on December 3, 1769. At the age of fourteen Mr. Beall entered the office of Hon. Thos. [[Scott (surname)|Scott]], at one time a member of Congress, a gentleman of considerable note in the public affairs of [[Pennsylvania]]; he remained there until he was 21 years of age. In 1790 an expedition was fitted out and marched against the [[Indians]] at the heads of the two Miami rivers. The command of this corps was given to Gen. [[Harmar (surname)|Harmar]]. Mr. Beall served in this expedition as an officer in the Quartermaster's Department and was with the army when a severe action was fought between a detachment under Col. [[Hardin (surname)|Hardin]] and the [[Indians]] near [[Fort Wayne, Indiana]] in 1791.
-On General [[Wayne (surname)|Wayne's]] being appointed to the command of the [[Northwestern Army]], Mr. Beall received a commission as [[Ensign]] and after some time spent in the recruiting service, went to headquarters at [[Legionville]] on the Ohio River, near the present site of [[Enconomy]] in [[Beaver County, Pennsylvania]]. It was in this campaign which succeeded that Mr. Beall became acquainted with General William Henry [[Harrison (surname)|Harrison]] who later was [[President of the United States]]. Mr. Beall remained with the army until 1793 when he resigned and again returned to his friends in [[Pennsylvania]]. In 1801 he moved to [[Steubenville, Ohio]] then in 1803 to [[Lisbon]] where he lived until he came to [[Wooster, Ohio]] in 1815. While residing at [[New Lisbon]] he received the appointment of [[Clerk of the Supreme Court]] also the [[Common Pleas Court]]. Soon after this he was chosen [[Colonel]] of a regiment and a few years later was made a [[Brigadier General]]. The war of 1812 found him in that capacity. On the surrender of General [[Hull (surname)|Hull]] at [[Detroit, Michigan]] a general panic seized the people, many of them fleeing from their homes and seeking places of safety. He immediately organized a detachment and in a few days put himself at the head of several hundred men and marched to the support of the frontier inhabitants of [[Wayne County, Ohio|Wayne]] and [[Richland County, Ohio|Richland]] counties. After the war. General Beall returned home. In the spring of 1813 President [[Madison (surname)|Madison]] issued his proclamation for a special session of Congress and the seat for the northern district being vacant, General Beall was chosen to fill the vacancy. He serviced in Congress during that the succeeding session. The Office of Register of the land office for the [[Wooster Land District]] becoming vacant in 1814, General Beall was appointed and resigned his seat in Congress. It was then that he moved to [[Wooster, Ohio|Wooster]]. He retired from public office in 1824. At the great [[Whig Mass Convention]] at [[Columbus, Ohio]] on the 22nd of February, 1840 he was chosen to preside over its deliberations and was afterward chosen one of the electors of President and Vice-President and had the honor of casting his vote for his old friend an military associates, General [[Harrison (surname)|Harrison]]. His death occurred on February 20, 1842. General Beall was for many years a member of the [[First Presbyterian Church]].
