Alexander Veal (1798-1882) parents

Classification: Query
Looking for a Alexander Veal born 1798 and died 1882. He was born in Virgina, then moved to Georgia. He served in the War of 1812. It is belived my 4th great grandmother had relations with this man and fathered her 7 children. She is presumed to have taken care of his first wife till her death then married Alexander.

Anyways I am looking for any information anyways one regarding who his parents were. Many many trees have different parents with different last names. Seems he could have come from a "Veale", "Bale", "Baeles", etc. Anyways nothing seems really accurate and doesnt seem many people are searching this line. Any help would go a long way.
