-*It may  be significant that a Daniel Biehl died in Lehigh County & is buried in the Fogelsville Union Cemetery.  He was born in 1808, so is of the same generation as our [[Jacob Beals]] (b.1806).  One could imagine this Daniel,(who possibly lived out his life, and certainly died, in Lehigh County), as possibly having an immigrant father also named Daniel. This older, conjectural Daniel would have been of the generation of the immigrant David Beels, and could have been his brother.  If an older Daniel immigrated first and settled in the Lehigh area,  his (brother) David could have been trying to follow his lead with the Lehigh County area as his hoped-for destination.  Daniel immigrated through the port of Baltimore, ( rather than Philadelphia which would make more sense if he were trying to reach Lehigh County), but we know he was a stow-away, and may have taken what opportunity made itself available as to port of entry.    David's son, [[Daniel Beels]], could concievably have been named for such an uncle.  We have no evidence that [[David Beels]] ever resided in Lehigh County. He could have visited there however, and finding land scarce by the early 1800's, proceeded on westward, to Center County, then to the Venango/Clarion counties border area.<br> <br> This leads to another possibility, that Daniel Biehl of Lehigh County (d. 1868) could have been the father of our [[Jacob Beals]], who is said to have been born in Berks Co., but presumably married in Lehigh County about 1828-29, resided there until between 1833and 1836), and then migrated to Clarion Co. by at least 1839.  If this were the case, (that Daniel Biehl of Lehigh was the father of Jacob Beal and the brother of David Beel), then [[Jacob Beals]] and [[Daniel Beels]] were cousins, and their sons who owned neighboring farms ([[James Francis Beals]] and [[David Beels]] the younger,) were 2nd cousins.  ''By time period and coincidence of locations this is all possible, but at this point, all is conjectural''.

 * Daniel Beals can be found in Richland Twp in the 1830 and 1840 census, with the correct age to be Daniel, b. 1792.  In 1850, Daniel and son David are present, still in Richland Twp, but now Clarion Co.

-* Page-by-page search of the entire census for Venango County in 1820 (all townships) revealed neither David or Daniel Beels or any name that might be mistaken for them.  Some of the neighbors of David Beal in 1810 are still present in 1820 in Richland Twp, but a whole new group is also present.  These include a number of Snyder families.  This is interesting since there is information that David Beels may have lived on property that eventually became the H"Harmon Snyder Place".
