      Zachariah Beall's tombstone in Mt. Bethel Cemetery in Harmony, Iredell County, NC. records his linage:

      Zachariah Beall
      son of Samuel Beall, Sr.
      son of Ninian Beall, Jr.,
      son of Ninian Beall Sr. of Scotland.

      Zach's stone is right beside Rebecca Beall's [his wife] tombstone, I have photos.

      was fortunate to meet two fine people, Dr. Curtis Abell and his wife Pat Abell who live close to Harmony, Iredell County, North Carolina and they agreed to go to the Mt. Bethel Methodist Cemetery and take photos of the graves of our forefathers.

      The Beall's and Gaither's moved to North Carolina from Maryland in the early 1800's for religious freedom. Zachiariah Beall and his wife Rebecca Tyson Beall traveled horseback with several of their children down along the trail at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains along an ancient Indian Trail now known as Interstate 81 and settled in an area occupied by Cherokee Indians.

      Dr. Drucilla Beall Gaither and two of her brothers were doctors... there's more that Eva Gaither Thornbury has shared with me that I'll get to later... but with without further ado... here's the key to the proof of our linage!

      Beall, Zachariah [Headstone front and reverse attached in jpeg]

      b. Jul. 17, 1742 d. Jun., 1817

      These headstones [and others] are also there:

      Beall, Rebecca Tyson
      b. 1752 d. Nov. 3, 1823

      Gaither, Dr Drucilla Beall
      b. Jan. 19, 1784 d. Sep. 29, 1872

      Gaither, John, Sr. [the 6th]
      b. 1766 d. Sep. 20, 1844

      The rest of the story:

      This fella is My Zachariah Beall who married Rebecca Tyson and their daughter Dr. Drucilla Beall [a twin] married John Gaither, and their son Asa Beall Friarson Gaither married Tabitha Caroline Howard and they had a daughter named Mary Elizabeth "Lizzie" Beall Gaither who married William C. Marable, and they had a son named Benjamin Beall Marable who married Gertrude "Gertie" Moore [a twin and daughter of Andrew Jackson Moore and Fransis Brandsford] and Ben and Gertie had a daughter named Eufaula Beall Marable who married Jesse Anderson Hood and they had a daughter named Drusilla Beall Hood who married Earl Samuel Vass, Jr, who had a daughter named Beverly Gail Vass who's emailin' a fella named Mike in Bulgaria!

      Here is a post and jpg photos [attached] of Zachariah and Rebecca's tombstones:

      The origional plaque that was on the back of Zachariah's tombstone was removed and copied when it was encased in another stone to prevent further crumbling of his origional headstone.

      The only William Beall that I know of in this family is the William Beall that married Ninian Beall, Jr.'s widow.
