From a early Beals Genealogy book:
The Beals as a family were considered very stout and very attractive.
The earliest member of this particular family that I have records on is William Beals. Many researchers feel that this William from Yorkshire was the father of John Beals of Pennsylvania. I do not know. William Beals was born in about 1630 in Yorkshire, England and married there about 1650. I am not certain if he came to America or not, but several other Beals histories indicate that he came to America and died in Pennsylvania. There are other references to a Thomas Beals who died in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Both these men were from Yorkshire. A great many Quakers from Yorkshire came to settle in Fenwick's Colony in what is now Gloucester County, New Jersey located just across the Delaware from Philadelphia. I do not know which, if either, of these men were the father of John Beals, but since John Beals married Mary Clayton and the Claytons were from Yorkshire, though possibly from Sussex. I assume therefore the Beals were also from Yorkshire. There were many other Beals families found throughout England in the 1600s.
There was another Beales family from Worcestershire in the south of England. It was from this area that a number of Quakers came from to America. In fact there is a reference in the will of John Beals (1726) that refers to his 'kinswoman' Mary Davis of Philadelphia. Mary, probably a sister, married in Worcestershire. I simply do not know.
Another researcher, Roger Boone, feels that the John Beals who came to America was born in Wales. Worcestershire is just east of Wales, so this is quite possible.
The first person in our lineage that I have firm facts and records for is one John Beals (Senior), and it is with him that I begin this family history. The vast majority of the information that follows on the Beals family has been obtained from the Henshaw books and virtually all the details have come from Roger Boone of Springfield, Ohio,who has spent many years researching this fami
