BEALS.

1. THOMAS' BEALS, as he spelled his last name, lived in S., from 1791 to 1798, at 21, nearly on the spot where Hon. D. W. Rugg now lives. We can- not trace the ancestry of Mr. Beals (or Beels, as the name was often written). He m., Apr. 23, 1792, Charlotte, daughter of Timothy Root and Prudence De Wolf (or Dolph, as the name is usually improperly written) b., Dec. 5, 1773, in Westford, Mass., (according to the manuscript Gilsum records, not Westfield, as Hayward's Gilsum has it). Her mother married John Dimick, Jr., hence Charlotte is called Charlotte Dimick in the marriage list. We do not know what became of this family after leaving S. They had two ch. in S. ; I. Francis", b., Jan. 28, 1793; 2. Samuel“, b., Nov. 11, 1794; both b. at 21.
