Misc. Notes
Col Ninian Beall accumulated a great deal of land including what is now Georgetown, D.C. His son George settled here and built a large house on N. St. and it is believed that he gave his name to Georgetown, which was on his property. (Joshua Dorsey Warfield, The Founders of Anne Arundell and Howard Counties MD (1905) p. 101)47338
Pg 314-317 The Legislature, by act of May 15, 1751, authorized five commissioners to lay out and erect a town, and empowered them to purchase sixty acres, part of the tracts of land belonging to George Beall and George Gordon, and to survey the same into eighty lots, to be erected into a town, and to be called Georgetown. For the advantage of the town and for the encouragement of the back inhabitants, the commissioners were authorized to hold two fairs annually for three successive days, during which everyone attending the fair should be free from arrest, except for felony or breach of the peace. The first meeting of the commissioners was held on the 18th of September, 1751, when they appointed Alexander Beall clerk and surveyor, and Joseph Beall coroner. The owners of the site refused to sell. A jury was summoned and the property condemned; the land was appraised, the owners receiving two hundred and eighty pounds currency. The survey and plat were completed February 27, 1752, when the lots were numbered, and the streets and lanes named. Messrs. Beall and Gordon were allowed the first choice of lots.73624
The Brooke Family of Whitchurch, Hampshire, England Pg 3351100
By an act of May 15, 1751, the Legislature of MD provided for laying out a town on the Potomac River, above Rock Creek. For this purpose part of George Beall’s land was taken, as well as part of that belonging to a Mr. Gordon. When, in spite of their refusal to sell, the land so taken was divided into lots, Colonel Beall and Mr. Gordon were allowed the privilege for first selecting two lots each as compensation for their lands. After a week’s reflection, George Beall sent the following answer:
“If I must part with my property by force, I had better save a little than be totally demolished. Rather than have none, I accept these lots, -- Nos 72 and 79--”
Ancestral Records Vol II53398 Pg 467 By an Act of May 15, 1751 the Legislature of MD provided for laying out a town on the Potomac Riv above Rock Creek, & a part of George Beall’s land was taken, divided into lots, he being allowed the privilege of 1st selecting 2 lots; he sent the following answer: “If I must part with my property by force, I had better have a little than be totally demolished. Rather than have none, I accept those lots 72, 79. I do hereby protest and declare that my acceptance of said lots, which is by force, shall not debar me from future redress from the Commissioners and others, if I can have the rights of a British subject. God save King George! George Beall.
