Eva,
The Zepheniah Beall I have was b.c.1722 PGCo. s/o James William Bell the
immigrant and his wife Sarah Peerce. In his father's will [MCW v.5:197]
he received pt. of "Allison's Park" and "Cooper". From his gmother Sarah
Coombs [Jourdan, Land Rec PGCo 1730-3, p.121] he received some personal
items along with his bros. However, he may have died before 1740 as he
wasn't mentioned in bro Robert's will of 22 Apr 1740 [PGCo.Wills,
Lib.no.1:298]. Or perhaps he had already left the MD area.

Suggest you put your query on as those folks have
done extensive research on the MD Bealls who went South.
