Born on 31 July 1826 in Rockdale, Walton County, Georgia (refer to Biography of James Jesse Beall, written by son, Jesse Beall). Birth place and date shown on his 1899 application for Indigent Pension. Age also shown on 1880 census, District 736, for Douglas, Georgia. James Jesse died on 5 Apr 1901. Buried in Buchanan Cemetery, Haralson County, Georgia (see obituary article taken from The Tribune of Buchanan, Georgia on Friday, April 12, 1901). Siblings: [1] Margaret Elizabeth b abt. 1819, [2] Robert Augustus, [3] Eliza, [4] William, [5] Susan Millicent b 22 Dec 1824, [7] Josias Bradley b abt. 1829, [8] Egbert Benjamin b 4 Sep 1830, [9] Sarah Mary W. b 11 Mar 1834. James and his siblings are all mentioned in an article about Egbert Beall, included in A Memorial And Biographical History Of Navarro, Henderson, Anderson, Limestone, Freestone And Leon Counties, Texas; Lewis Publishing Company; 1893; Chicago.
On 29 Jan 1852, James married Sarah Matilda WATTS. Refer to Sarah's 1901 pension application. The couple also appears together in the 1860 and 1870 census (Campbell County, Georgia), 1880 census (Chapel Hill, Douglas County, Georgia), and 1900 census (Buchanan Town, Haralson County, Georgia).
Served as Captain, Company C, 19th Infantry Regiment, Georgia Volunteers, Colquit's Brigade, Hoke's Division, Anderson's Corps, Army of Northern Virginia. Organized 11 Jun 1861, and mustered into Confederate Service 2 August 1861. Refer to James' 1899 application for Indigent Pension, and Confederate Archives, Chap. 1, File 83, page 131).
James is listed with his mother "Sarah B. Bell", and three younger siblings in the 1850 census for District 10, Campbell County, Georgia. One could almost suppose that the “Sarah M W” on this census was the wife of James Jesse instead of his sister who married Osborne Spence; their initials and their ages are the same. That idea is disproved by sister Sarah M’s appearance on the 1860 and 1870 censuses with her husband, Osborne Spence.

Excerpt from VIRGINIA GENEALOGIES and BIOGRAPHIES, 1500's-1900s MARYLAND and VIRGINIA COLONIALS, VOL. I, BEALL, page 21:
>>John Beall, "Jr." [called "Jr." to distinguish him from his elder first cousin of the same name, John, "Sr.", son of Alexander Beall], was likely b. by c 1701-1702, Pr. Geo's Co.; d. intestate, Oct 28 1756 [Piscataway Parish Register, p. 297], Pr. Geo's Co.; m. probably c 1724, in Md., Elizabeth Fendall, dau. of Capt. John and Elizabeth [Hanson] Fendall, of Charles Co., Md. She d. testate, bef. Dec 19 1785.
>>Although his mother later contested his father's will, and demanded and received her dower thirds in the lands of her deceased husband, which cut into John's share [as well as that of some of the other children], by that will John, "Jr.", the eldest son, inherited over 550 a., called "Rover's Content", 78 a. called "Fife", all of "Good Luck" lying on the East side of the Cabin John Branch [264 a.], and 225 a. called "Drumaldree".
>>As heir-at-law [under the then English law of primogeniture], of his two brothers, Robert and Zephaniah, both of whom died young and unmarried, he also inherited the lands left to them by their father, which consisted of 649 a. of "Lay Hill", and 459 a. of "Allison's Park" [less their mother's 1/3 share] and 113 a. of "Cooper" [again, less the mother's 1/3 share]. He also apparently inherited from his father [although the latter did not mention the lands in his will], part of several other pieces of property, i.e. portions of "Bread and Cheese Hall", "Father's Gift", and 253 a. of "Beall's Reserve", as shown in the 1750 Debt Book for Pr. Geo's Co., infra.
9. James BEALL
Born ca 1652 in Scotland. Circumstantial evidence (not proof) suggests he is the same James Bell who was baptized on 5 Feb 1652 in St. Andrews Church, Fifeshire, Scotland. Witnesses were William and Janet Gourlays {see the St. Andrews Parish record}. James died ca. 10 Feb 1725 in Prince George County, Maryland. See “The Will of James Beall”, as redacted from Maryland Calendar of Wills: Volume 5, page 198. Siblings: [1] William, [2] Alexander, [4] Robert, [5] Andrew.
The actual St. Andrews Parish record of baptism shows that the child’s name was first written as “William”, then crossed out, with “James” written above it. Some researchers have therefore interpreted this person’s name as “James William Bell”. After taking a careful look at the baptism record, I rather think that the parish recorder began to write the name of a witness, William Gourlays, before the name of the child; realizing his mistake, he crossed out the “William”, and wrote “James” above it, making clear that the child was James, and not William. On the very next line, he writes the name of the witnesses, William and Janet Gourlays.
Ca. 1692 James married Sarah PEERCE in Prince George County, Maryland.
10. Alexander BELL
Known as The Brabener (weaver). Born ca. 1621 in Scotland. Died in Fifeshire, Scotland.
On 21 May 1646 Alexander married Margaret RAMSAY in St. Andrews Church, Fifeshire, Scotland. Jourdan mentions this couple as parents of "James Beall, bapt. 5 Feb 1652 Kingdom of Fife, Scotland" {refer to "Early Families of Southern Maryland", Vol. 6, p 271, by Elise Greenup Jourdan}.
