| Notes |
- When John, the sixth child of Edward Beales, brought the name to NorthAmerica he changed the spelling to "Beal". It wasn't until he hadreached the age of 50 that he took up the challenge of leaving hishomeland to become a pioneer in a strange new country. He came fromHingham, Norfolk Co. and arrived in Boston on the vessel "Diligent" onAugust 10, 1638. He brought with him his wife, Nazareth, five sons,three daughters and two servants. (One of the servants may have beenhis brother Edmond's son also named John). They settled in Hingham,Massachusetts which is a few miles southeast of Boston. John was nodoubt well aware of the new settlement. Ralph Smith had come fromHingham, Eng. in 1633 and founded Hingham, Mass. Additionally John'swife's parents and family had arrived in Charlestown, Mass. the sameyear and her brother, Rev. Peter Hobart was the first minister ofHingham.
Not long after arrival John Beal became a landholder obtaining a grantof six acres for a house lot on what is now the south side of SouthStreet west of Hersey Street. On the 13th of March, 1639 he wasadmitted to the freedom of Massachusetts Colony and thus became a"freeman". He was deputy to the general court in 1640 and 1659. Hewas a shoemaker, a trade that seems to have been passed down tosucceeding generations. John Beal died at the age of 100.
