Notes	“Robert Bell (also written Beall and Beale), who is believed to be the son of Alexander Bell and Margaret Ramsay, was probably born in Scotland. Although no birth or christening records have been found which might verify that Alexander Bell and Margaret Ramsay had a son named Robert, an individual by that name was residing in Prince George's County, Maryland during the 1700's, and this individual was referred to as "brother" by Alexander Bell/Beall, a known son of Alexander Bell and Margaret Ramsay, in his will dated 16 January 1743/44. This will was subsequently probated in Prince George's County, Maryland on 6 September 1744.” “This relationship appears to be further supported by a deed which was dated 28 November 1728, in which Alexander's son and daughter-in-law, James and Mary (Edmonston) Beall, sold a 130 acre parcel of land called "Friend's Gift," being part of a larger tract called "James and Mary," to John Beall. This John is referred to by James as being the son of my "Uncle," Robert Bell/Beall. In a later deed, which was dated 7 April 1739, James (son of James) and Sophia Beall leased 100 acres of land, being part of the plantation called "Loan Head," to Robert and Margery Bell/Beall for 50 pounds for the term of their "natural lives." On 21 July 1739, Alexander's eldest son and daughter-in-law, William and Elizabeth (Magruder) Beall, sold a tract of land to James Beall, also a son of Robert Bell/Beall. This tract consisted of 128 acres of land which was called "The Farm."” “Although very few records exist which make any mention of Robert Bell/Beall, the above mentioned deed between James and Sophia Beall and Robert indicates that his wife was named Margery. In a deed-of-gift dated 13 May 1751, Robert gave his son and daughter-in-law, James and Margaret Beall, a number of household items and some livestock. On 9 October 1755, when James recorded this deed in Prince George's County, Robert was referred to as being deceased. The below named children have been determined through deed and probate records to be Robert Bell/Beall's.” [1]
