Hello,

I noticed that you are also a descendant of Beals family.

I finally decided to document my Quaker line and I ran into a
problem regarding the Beals and Bowater line...I was hoping you would
have the answer.

It seems that several researchers on the internet have a different
opinion on who were the parents of SARAH BOWATER wife of JOHN BEALS II.
At least two have her parents as THOMAS BOWATER and SARAH EDGE and
then a few more have the parents as JOHN BOWATER and FRANCES CORBETT.

Then the researchers that have JOHN and FRANCES CORBETT list the
parents of JOHN BEALS II as JOHN JACOB BEALS and MARY JANE CLAYTON and
the parents of JOHN JACOB are.....THOMAS BEALS AND SARAH EDGE!!!

I live in Roseburg, Oregon...Roseburg does not have a great deal
of Quaker information or research material available.

I hope you can help me out on this question.

Thanks so much, Lois Bell
