Joseph BEALL moved from Scotland to England: His son, John immigrated from England to America in 1730 and settled in New Jersey. He had three sons: One went to Candaa; one, Joseph BELL, went to Virginia; annd onne stayed in New Jersey. Onesimus BELL, our progenitor was born on Long Island, 1738, was captain in the French and INdian War and was a Lieut. with the New Jersey Troops in the Revolutionary War.
