Brad, interesting stuff. From a quick glance at A2A, it seems that
the Beales came from "Barley" in Yorkshire where the Twistleton family
of baronets was based. FWIW, another online source suggests this is
"Barlow Hall near Selby"; from PROCAT it seems "Barley" was a manor.

material on A2A about the Beales of Barley?
There is also a Yorkshire Feet of Fines record from Trinity Term, 1601
in which Oliver Beale, gent, transfers property at in "Langracke and
Drax", so there clearly is a Drax connection.
