Thank you for replying. :)

Some of the Carolina Beale's decend from the Virginia Beale's & I am interested in all my lines & where they came from.

My gg grandfather:
Joseph Riddick Beale
B:February 16, 1843 in Hertford County, North Carolina, USA
D:November 12, 1923 in Pendleton, Northampton County, North Carolina, USA


I've seen his name( Joseph ) spelled as Beale, Beal, & even Bede & his father as Beal & Beall. I've looked at each of these records & they have the same year, place, & household members, so I know I'm not mixing them up. But you know how past records are & the clerks who kept them, they left us a big mess. I love a good mystery though, especially when I can solve it.........eventually.
