[Colonel] Ninian Beall (b. 1625, d. 15 Jan 1717)

Ninian Beall (son of James B Beall and Anne Marie Calvert)^{2247, 2248, 2249, 2250, 2251, 2252, 2253} was born 1625 in Dumbarton, Fifeshire, Scotland, Gb^{2254, 2255, 2256, 2257, 2258, 2259, 2260}, and died 15 Jan 1717 in Prince George, Prince Georges, Maryland^{2261, 2262, 2263, 2264, 2265, 2266, 2267}. He married Ruth Polly Moore on Bet. 1663 - 1667 in Prince George's Co.,MD^{2268, 2269}, daughter of Golden Richard Barrister Moore and Jane Champney Hollingsworth.

Notes for Ninian Beall:
[The Family History.FTW]

[Our Family.FTW]

Far off in sunlit places, Sad are the Scottish faces,
Yearning to feel the Kiss of sweet Scottish rain.
Where tropic skies are beaming, Love sets the heart a-dreaming,
Longing and dreaming for the homeland again.
Towering in gallant fame, Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour, Land of the shining heather,
Land of my heart for ever, Scotland the brave!

The most widely circulated Beall family story is, of course the story of the original Beall on this continent, Colonel Ninian Beall, who was captured in the Battle of Dunbar, an ill-fated religio-political war in Scotland in 1650, and was sent, along with 149 other Highlanders, into virtual slavery in Barbados. Scottish song and literature is in fact full of references to these Highlanders, whom certain interests in Scotland at the time tried to eliminate from the Isles.

I have always thought that Ninian's story is an inspiring tale of how a man can lose everything, but then turn around to regain even more, build a life to admire, and contribute greatly to history and society.
