Notes
 Note |
JOHN BEALES, the tenth child of Edward Beales, was the one who brought the name (which he spelled "Beal") to North America. It wasn't until he had reached the age of 50 that he took up the challenge of leaving his homeland and became a pioneer in a strange new country. He came from Hingham, Norfolk Co. and arrived at Boston on the vessel "Diligent" on August 10, 1638. He brought with him his wife, Nazareth, five sons, three daughters and two servants. (One of the servants may have been his brother Edmond's son also named John). They settled in Hingham which is a few miles southeast of Boston. John was no doubt well aware of the new settlement. Ralph Smith had come from Hingham, Eng. in 1633 and founded Hingham, Mass. Additionally his wife's brother, Rev. Peter Hobart, was already settled there and was the first minister of the town. Not long after arrival John Beal became a landholder obtaining a grant of six acres for a house lot on what is now the south side of South Street west of Hersey Street. On the 13th of March, 1639, he was admitted to the freedom of Massachusetts Colony and thus became a "freeman". He was deputy to the general court in 1640 and 1659. He was a shoemaker, a trade that seems to have been passed down to succeeding generations. John Beal died at the age of 100. |
