* Regarding the lack of an 1860 census record:  I have manually reviewed all census entries for Richland, Beaver, Salem, Elk, and Licking Townships, Clarion County, PA, along with Richland Township, Venango County, PA.  No sign of the Jacob Beals family was found.  The census for Richland Twp. Clarion Co. contains only one Beals residence, that of William Beals [son of Jacob] and his wife Susana.  In Beaver Twp., we find another son, Jacob Beals, Jr. and his wife Clara.  In Salem Twp., we find a third son, Samuel Beal and his family, as well as the infamous Daniel Beals and his wife Elizabeth.  No Beals (or variants) in Elk & Licking Twps..  Richland Twp, Venango Co., has a David Beels w/ wife Margaret, as well as an Elizabeth Beels (37) working as a "domestic" in the home of a Mr. Coutter.
+
* The Clarion County Cemeteries transcription project of 1986, available through the Clarion County Historical Society shows a gravestone at Emanuel Lutheran Cemetery, Beaver City, transcribed as "Beals, Isaac, Son of S. & C. Beals."  It notes that the grave is near that of Catherine Beals.  This child is not noted in any other source that we are aware of.  In two trips to this cemetery  by E. W. Williams (1991  when stones were less weathered, & 2006 after much undergrowth was cleared away), transcriptions were made of a small stone that reads "Infant son of J & C Beals, died May 21 1860 aged 5 days."  This is believed to be a child of Jacob Beals, Jr. and wife Clara. It is wondered if the previous transcriber ( possibly a Girl Scout project for the Historical Society) mistook "Infant Son"  for "Isaac  Son".  The "J" & "C" are faint, easily misread, and the date could be 1850 or 1860. Neither of these dates works well for a child of Samuel & Catherine Beals; they weren't married until 1852, and they had another child born in 1860.

Source Notes

  • The Clarion County Cemeteries transcription project of 1986, available through the Clarion County Historical Society shows a gravestone at Emanuel Lutheran Cemetery, Beaver City, transcribed as "Beals, Isaac, Son of S. & C. Beals." It notes that the grave is near that of Catherine Beals. This child is not noted in any other source that we are aware of. In two trips to this cemetery by E. W. Williams (1991 when stones were less weathered, & 2006 after much undergrowth was cleared away), transcriptions were made of a small stone that reads "Infant son of J & C Beals, died May 21 1860 aged 5 days." This is believed to be a child of Jacob Beals, Jr. and wife Clara. It is wondered if the previous transcriber ( possibly a Girl Scout project for the Historical Society) mistook "Infant Son" for "Isaac Son". The "J" & "C" are faint, easily misread, and the date could be 1850 or 1860. Neither of these dates works well for a child of Samuel & Catherine Beals; they weren't married until 1852, and they had another child born in 1860.
