William Beals

William Beals was born April 1, 1687 in Chester County, Pennsylvania. He married Rebecca Chambers. The marriage is recorded at the Nottingham Monthly Meeting on June 28, 1712.
Rebecca was the daughter of John Chambers of Chichester, Chester County, Pennsylvania.
Sometime in the late 1720s, William and his family moved to the upper part of Prince Georges County, Maryland and settled on Monocacy Creek then on the frontier. I have no further information on William and Rebecca except a notation that both had died before 1750.

(Note): William Beal is complained of in meeting that his "actions with her which is now his wife being uncomely, while at the same time an overseer." William Beal's acknowledgment of his fault was read and accepted at the Nottingham meeting and he was retained as a member but was not re-appointed to office.
