"John Beals died late in 1726, when his will was proved in Chester Co., There is no record of Mary's death, although since John did not mention her in his will it seems certain that she predeceased him. Doubtless both are buried in the old Brick Meetinghouse Cem. in the hamlet of Calvert, Maryland, where they attended meeting." --Thomas Hamm

________________

His will was written on 12-17-1726

• 3-13-1706 Mary Bales appointed overseer of Nottingham Monthly Meeting.
• 1-13-1709 John Beal appointed overseer of Meeting.
• ....Notice differences in name spelling..probably by those who took minutes at the meetings.
