The founder of the Beall family in America was Ninian Beall (1625-1717) who came from Largo, a seaside resort in County Fife, Scotland (near Edinburgh). Originally spelled Bealle, now Beall. Ninian Bealle and relatives were Covenanters and their zeal caused them to be mixed up in the killing of Bishop Montgomery. Ninian Bealle emigrated in 1655 to Calvert Co., Maryland, (S.E. of Washington D.C. along Chesapeake Bay). All Beall’s in America are his descendants. Scharf’s History of Maryland calls him Col. Beall. He became Commander in Chief of all the Maryland forces in the war against the Susquehannock Indians. This history also states that Col. Beall, about 1678, induced Presbyterians to settle in and around the locality where the cities of Georgetown and Washington now are.
Ninian Beall lived to see the establishment of the first American Presbytery. He gave a half acre for the erection of a church. He worked with the Presbyterian leaders of his time. (See Presbyterian Review Vol. 9, 1888 pgs. 380—387). He gave a silver service to the Patuxent Church. Two chalices and a tankard remain at Hyattsville.
