[edit] NOT A DIRECT ANCESTOR

John Howard Beels is not in my direct ancestry. He is of the Beels family of Salem Twp., Clarion County, PA. We expect this family is connected to our direct line Beals family (see Jacob Beals page) but this has not been established. Descendants of John Howard Beels connect by marriage to our Kline line, and intermarry with the Heeter branch of our Wilson line.

David Beels married Margaret Campbell in about 1853. Its unknown when they adopted their only child, John Howard Beels; he was born in 1856, so possibly that year. We do not know the names of John Howard Beels' biological parents, nor where he was born.

We note that, as John Howard Beels was adopted, his descendants are not a genealogical link to the Beels ancestry in the usual sense. However, we maintain the line here for two reasons. We are interested in the Beels ancestry and expect eventually a connection will be found to our Beals direct line. Also, a descendants of John Howard Beels married a descendant of our direct line Klines. Another descendant married a Heeter, related to our direct line Wilsons.

In 1860 the David Beels family were living in Venango Co., possibly with Margaret Campbell's widowed mother.
By 1870 they were back in Clarion Co. and David's widowed father was living with them, so probably at the Beels Hill farm. Thus John Howard Beels grew up knowning two of his adoptive grandparents well, although the other two were no longer living.
By 1890 John Howard Beels was no longer living in his parents' home, but had married and was living next door, possibly in another house on the Beels Hill farm.
