[[Jacob Beals]]

The name Beals is English, but many immigrant families Anglicized their names. This particular Beals surname is seen as Biehl originally, of German origin. The family intermarried with other German families who migrated to western PA at about the same time from the Lehigh Co.-Berks Co. border area of Pennsylvania. (See [[Michael Brey|Brey]], [[John Klein|Klein]]). In various records for this family the name is found spelled Beal, Beals, Beels, and Biehl.

Jacob Beals is the progenitor of our line, and although he lived in Pennsylvania, his place of birth is unknown. What is known of Jacob Beals comes from two chri
stening records, for a son and daughter born in Lehigh County Pennsylvania.
