George Beall

George Beall, Jr. (February 26, 1729 – October 15, 1807)[1] was a wealthy landowner in Maryland and Georgetown in what is now Washington, D.C.

George's grandfather, Ninian Beall, among other political and military service, was a member of the Grand Committee of Twenty at the Protestant Associators' Convention of 1689-1692, the executive council of the colony during the absence of control by the Calvert Family.

[3] Beall's Levels and Rock of Dumbarton, part of his landholdings, were surveyed in 1752 as a possible site for George Town (now Georgetown).

Maryland offered Beall two lots in the town, along with the "price of condemnation" (remuneration).

Around 1870, he was moved to the Presbyterian Burying Ground, (now Volta Park) in Georgetown.
