Notes for John Beal:
John Beal, the Centenarian and Descendants, by Bertha Beal Aldridge, c.1956, Victor, New York:
He live fifty years in England and fifty years in America.

History of the Town of Old Hingham, Vol. II, 1853 (reprinted in 1982):
John Beal the progenitor of the large family bearing his name, and dwelling in Hingham, Cohasset, Weymouth and Abington, came from the parish of Hingham in Foreshoe Hundred, in the county of Norfolk, England, which is situated about fourteen miles west-southwest of Norwich, the shire town, and about ninety-eight north-east of London., He came in a vessel called the "Diligente," of which John Martin was master, arriving at Boston on the tenth of August, 1638. Daniel Cushing, one of the early town clerks of Hingham, who also came to New England in the above named vessel, in a manuscript list of the early settlers of Hingham, which has fortunately been preserved, says of him: "John Bealle, shoe-maker, with his wife and 5 sons and 3 daughters and 2 servants, came from Old Hingham and settled in New Hingham."
Perhaps the inducement that led Mr. Beal to select Hingham as a place of abode was, that his wife, Nazareth, was daughter of Edmund Hobart, and consequently sister of Rev. Peter Hobart, the first minister of that town, who had chosen that place for his labors a few years previous. The five sons and three daughters of Mr. Beal who were brought over from England were, Martha, Mary, Sarah, John, Nathaniel, Jeremiah, Joshua and Caleb. Two other children, Rebecca and Jacob, were born in America.
Not long after his settlement at Hingham he became a landowner, as may be inferred from the following entry taken from the town's book of grants of land: "Given unto John Beal for a house lot, 6 acres of land butting upon the town street northward, and upon the common southward, bounded with the land of Jonas Austin eastward, and with the land of Thomas Hobart westward." The site of this home lot can easily be pointed out on the south side of the present South Street (which was the ancient Town Street), and west of Hersey Street, which was laid out through Mr. Austin's original lot. On the 13th of March succeeding his arrival, Mr. Beal was admitted to the freedom of the Massachusetts Colony, by taking the customary freeman's oath, which he did at the same time with several of his fellow townsmen; and in 1649, in company with Nicolas Jacob, he represented the town of Hingham in the General Court of the Colony.
Mr. Beal lived to a good old age; for under date of April 1st, 1688, Judge Sewall noted in his diary: "Father Beal of Hingham dies at 100," and David Hobart wrote under the same date: "My Uncle John Beal died suddenly."

FTM CD113, Savage's Geneal.Dict. of Early Settlers in New England, pg 406:
John, Hingham, a shoemaker from old Hingham Co., Norfolk, came with wife, five sons, three daughters and two servants in the Diligent, 1638, from London. Admitted Freeman 13 Mar. 1639, had Jacob, bapt. 2 Oct 1642, and no other children perhaps here, except Rebecca who d. unmarried aft Oct . 1657. He was a representative 1649. and his wife Nazareth d. 23 Sept. 1658, but he took second wife 10 Mar. 1659, Mary, widow of Nicholas Jacob, d. 1688 (as Sewall in his diary, sub. 1 Apr. mentions), in his 100th year, though perhaps the report may not have been exact.

FTM CD113, Abridge Compendium, by Frederick Virkus, pg 967:
BEAL (Beale, Beall, Beals), John (1588-1688), from Eng. in the "Diligente," to Hingham,
Mass., 1638; freeman, 1639; dep. Gen. Ct., 1649-59; m Nazareth Hobart (d 1658); m 2d, 1659, Mary,
widow of Nicholas Jacob.

RECORDS OF ONE LINE OF THE BEAL FAMILY IN ENGLAND
As Written and Permission Given
for Inclusion in This Genealogy
By
JOHN D. BEAL; JR.
Beal Family Genealogist
3013 Dupree Circle
Huntsville, Alabama 35801 (1983)
The History of Hingham, Massachusetts, published in 1893 by the Town has on pages 53 through 77 of Volume II, the Genealogy of the BEAL Family, as known in the year of publication.
Since 1893 much information has been found and it has been possible to correct the Genealogy of JOHN BEAL, the immigrant, and to extend his line in England to 1568.
A Mormon seeking his ancestry in Norfolk County, England, for inclusion in his Church records, found the baptismal date for JOHN BEAL in a small parish adjacent to Wymondham. The parish register included two marriages and the first name of the third wife and the baptismal date of his father's 19 children. These records were included in the 1976 LDS Computer File Index where I found them.
Clarence Almon Torrey listed extracts from the parish records of Wymondham in the American Genealogist (volume number not known). He showed the marriage of JOHN BEALES to Frances Ripley in Wymondham on 11 June 1616. His article was titled 'JOHN BEAL'S First Wife'.
Mr. Torrey also listed the marriage.of JOHN BEAL to NAZARETH TURNER in Hingham on 13 July 1630. NAZARETH (HOBART) TURNER was the widow of Robert Turner who was buried 7 April 1627 after a marriage of a few months. (Deaths were not recorded in parish registers but burials were as the latter was the responsibility of a clergyman).
It should be noted at this time that the BEAL Family name has been recorded in many variations in spelling. JOHN was baptized as BEALES in Wramplingham, married as BEALE in Wymondham and as BEAL in Hingham. His descendants in the States have been recorded as Beal, Beale, Beales,
Beals, Beel, Bell, Beall, Bealls, etc.
JOHN BEAL (l), the ancestor and progenitor of all those of the name of BEAL dwelling in Hingham, Cohasset, Scituate, Weymouth, Abington and other towns in the vicinity, was born in 1588, and came from the Parish of Hingham in Forehoe Hundred in the County of Norfolk, England, which is situated about 14 miles west-southwest of Norwich, the shire town, and about 98 miles northeast of London. He and his family came to America in the vessel called the "Diligent" of Ipswich, of which Mr. John Martin was Master, arriving at Boston 10 August 1638. There were 133 passengers on the "Diligent".
Daniel Cushing, one of the early town clerks of Hingham and who also came to New England in the above named vessel states in a preserved manuscript list of the early settlers of Hingham, that "John Beale, shoemaker, with his wife and five sons and three daughters and two servants, came from old Hingham and settled in new Hingham". It is assumed that one of the servants was a woman to help care for the children and the other was a nephew, John Beal, Jr., son of Edmund Beal who was a younger brother of JOHN BEAL (l), the shoemaker. John Beal, Jr., was probably an apprentice in the art of shoemaking. It was a common practice in England in the 1600's to apprentice sons and daughters to relatives to learn a trade or profession. Shoemaking was a paying profession in the 1600's and 1700's and John may well have chosen it. (There has been some confusion among genealogists and family historians about the John Beal who died in Hingham, Mass. in 1657. In his will which was probated on 28 July 1658, he infers that he was unmarried and made bequests to his father, who never came over to this country, and to his cousins, the children of JOHN BEAL (l). His father was Edmund Beal who is shown in the Parish Register of Hingham Norfolk County, England, as marrying Susan Wright on 14 December 1619.
Perhaps the inducement that led JOHN BEAL (l) to select Hingham, America. as a place of abode was the fact that his second wife, NAZARETH, was the daughter of EDMUND HOBART who had settled in America in 1633. Also her brother Reverend Peter Hobart had sailed to America and landed in September 1635.
In 1638, not long after his settlement at Hingham, JOHN BEAL (l) became a land holder, as may be inferred from the following entry taken from the town's book of grants of land: "Given unto JOHN BEAL for a house lot six acres of land butting upon the Town Street northward, and upon the Common southward, bounded with the land of Jonas Austin, (another record says Farrar Austin), eastward and with the land of Thomas Hobart westward.' The site of this home lot can easily be pointed out on the south side of the present South Street (which was the ancient Town Street) and west of Hersey Street, which was laid out through Mr. Austin's original lot.
On 13 March 1639 JOHN BEAL (l) was admitted a freeman of the Massachusetts Colony by taking the customary freeman's oath. He did this at the same time as several of his fellow townsmen. In 1649 in company with Mr. Nicholas Jacob, he represented the Town of Hingham in the General Court of the Colony. He was also a Representative in 1659.
His Wife NAZARETH died 23 September 1658 at Hingham, Massachusetts. On 10 March 1659, he married Mary the widow of his old friend, Nicholas Jacob, who had died on 5 June 1657. By this wife he had no children. She died 15 May 1681. David Hobart, NAZARETH'S nephew, continued his father's diary and recorded the event, although the town records state that, "Mary Beal, wife of JOHN BEAL, SR. (l), died on 15 June 1681."
JOHN BEAL (l) lived to a good old age for under date of 1 April 1688, one Judge Sewall noted in his diary, "Father Beal of Hingham died at age 100" and David Hobart wrote under the same date, "My Uncle John Beal died suddenly". (LDS records show JOHN BEAL to be 95 years of age as his documented date of christening was registered 8 May 1593).
A note from John D. Beal, Jr., Beal Genealogist, dated 2 March 1983, stated the following:
About 1850, the Town of Hingham widened Main Street opposite the "Old Ship Church" and discontinued the Cem. for our early settlers. The gravestones were given to descendants and the remains moved to a plot in the main Cem.. The town erected a pyramidal column and dedicated it to "Our Early Settlers." No record has been found of the inscriptions of the stones given away.

Notes for Frances Ripley:
Some family genealogist have Nathaniel's mother as John Beal's first wife Francis Ripley (vs. Nazareth Hobart) who was born or bapt. 4-15-1584 at Wramplingham, and who m. to John Beal on 6-11-1616 at W ymondham, Norfolk, England and who died (supposedly) 3-16-1630 at Wymondham. This would seem more likely as there are some who say John m. Nazareth (Hobart) Turner in July of 1630 at Hingham, Norfolk, England. See FTM CD113, Beal Gen. 1987. JBK
