Not a known child of Colonel Ninian Beall

Sarah

• Birth: between 1666 - 1670, Calvert County, Maryland, USA

the theory that I believe is likely correct is one proposed by Peter McManus, that they are MILLS (not BEALLs), the daughters of William MILLS and wife Tabitha.

As to the wives of Samuel Magruder and John Pottenger: it is true that Sarah Bell and Mary Bell were transported to Maryland, though it seems unlikely that they were sisters since Mary came in 1660 and Sarah not till 1675. While it is possible that they were relatives of Col. Ninean Beall, the notion that they were his nieces is pure guesswork. Mary Bells/Bealls came to Maryland in Ninean's wake, and the relationships are mostly unknown. The idea that Samuel Magruder's wife Sarah was nee Beall probably originated with Samuel's having named a son Ninean Magruder, but that falls far short of proof. (Ninean is a not-uncommon Scots saint's name; Col. Ninean Beall was the most prominent Scots settler in Maryland and a close neighbor, and presumably friend, of the Magruders.) The idea that John Pottenger's wife Mary was nee Beall depends wholly on the assumption that Samuel Magruder married Sarah Beall, the known fact that Samuel Magruder and John Pottenger were brothers-in-law, and the speculation that Sarah and Mary Beall were sisters.
