8751 Thomas is listed as a widower in the 1900 census and their second son was born in 1891. WILSON, Bettie Malvina (I10229)
 
8752 Thomas lived in Weymouth until the autumn of 1695. By his father's will he was given his father's "dwelling house and outhousing, and many acres of land including two orchards, meadows, and pasture land."

Although one of the wealthiest citizens of Weymouth he did not distain the humble office of sexton of the meeting house, or in 1681 he is "allowed ƒ1, 10s for ringing the bell and sweeping the meeting house. The price for such service advanced in time, as we see by the fact that on March 13,1688 he agreed to ring the bell and sweep the meeting house for forty (40) shillings in money for the ensuing year.

On the March 4th, 1695 he was chosen by the town one of the three surveyors for the ensuing year, but he did not surve the full term of office, for latter in the year he sold much of his property in Weymouth and moved with his family to the eastern part of Taunton North Purchase, a large tract of land which included all that became the town of Easton, nearly all of Mansfield and about one-third of the town of Norton.

There were fifty-four (54) shares of this large tract which had been purchased of the Indians in 1668, mainly by Taunton men. Thomas Randall bought half of the fifty-first share and the land set apart to him was at what became Easton, it being located at South Easton, including what is called "the Green", but being chiefly east and north of it, the mill stream running throught it. On the north side of it he built his house, part of the land there being (at the time) owned by his descendants, and on the stream he and his son, Thomas, erected the first sawmill of the place, and the noise of its wheel made the sweetest possible music to the settlers who were so much in need of the lumber with which to erect their dwellings.

8756 Thomas' original surname was Beals. Later he changed it to Beales.

The first Friends minister of record to cross the Ohio River and preach in the limits of the Northwest Territory was Thomas Beals who was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania, in March 1719, the son of John and Sarah Bowater Beals. From John and Sarah descended a very large number of members of the now widely extended Yearly Meetings of Indiana, western, Iowa and Wilmington, as well as those west of the Mississippi River and to the Pacific coast. Among them are to be found a large number of outstanding ministers in the Society of Friends.

The Beals family moved from Pennsylvania and Maryland and later to Hopewell, near Winchester, Virginia. Thomas Beals moved with this family to North Carolina in 1748 or 1749 being then about twenty-nine years old, and first stopped at Cane Creek. Then, with his family, he moved to New Garden, North Carolina, which was frontier territory. In a very short time he was joined by some other families, and in the year 1753, being then about thirty-four years of age, he came forth in the ministry. How long he lived at New Garden we do not know but presume it was for several years. The next move he made was to Westfield, Surry County, North Carolina. Here he was instrumental in the development of a large meeting. He must have lived at New Garden and Westfield about thirty years, during which time he paid several lengthy visits to the Indians.


In the year 1775, twenty years before Wayne's Treaty with the Indians at Greenville, Ohio, Beals, accompanied by four Friends, started to pay a visit to the Shawnee Indians and some other tribes and, after passing a fort not far from Clinch Mountain in Virginia, they were arrested and carried back to the fort to be tried for their lives on the charge of being confederates with the hostile Indians. The officers, understanding that one of them was a preacher, required a sermon before they went in for trial. Beals thought it right to hold a meeting with the soldiers, which proved to be a highly favored season. A young man then in the fort was converted and, some time after, moved among Friends and became a member and, at a very advanced age, bore public testimony to the truth of the principles of which he was convinced at the fort. After this meeting was over the Friends were kindly entertained and were treed and at liberty to go on their journey. They crossed the Ohio River into what is now the state of Ohio and held many meetings with the Indians with satisfaction and returned home with much peace of mind. Thomas Beals told his friends that he saw with his spiritual eye the seed of Friends scattered all over that good land and that one day there would be the greatest gathering of Friends there of any place in the world and that his faith was strong in the belief that he would live to see Friends settle north of the Ohio River.

In 1781, Beals moved from Westfield, North Carolina, to Blue Stone, Giles County, Virginia, where he lived but a few years. While there, their sufferings were very great in many ways, not only from lack of the necessities of life, but their son-in-law, James Horton, was taken prisoner by the Indians and, from the most reliable information that could be obtained, was carried to old Chillicothe, near Frankfort, Ohio, and there put to death. This move to Blue Stone does not appear to have had the approval of Beals' friends, for Nathan Hunt states that they sent a committee to send him back to Westfield, North Carolina. The little meeting of twenty or thirty families was entirely broken up at Blue Stone.

In the year 1785, he moved to Lost Creek, Tennessee, and in 1793 he moved to Grayson County, Virginia, at which several places Nathan Hunt states that Thomas Beals set up meetings and says that he was very zealous for the support of the testimonies of Friends. In 1799, Beals, who had visited this country twenty four years before, now moved to Quaker Bottom, Ohio, along with other members of his family and in the spring of 1801 he moved to Salt Creek, near the present town of Adelphia.

On August 29, 1801, he died and was buried near Richmondale, Ross County, Ohio, in a coffin of regular shape, hollowed out of a solid white walnut tree by his ever faithful friend, Jesse Baldwin, and assisted by Enoch Cox and others, and covered by a part of the same tree, which was selected for the purpose by the deceased while living. The grave of Thomas Beals was recently Iodated and local Friends have erected an appropriate monument to his memory.

That he was piously inclined soon ap pears from this vote of the town of Bridgewater, which had the church nearest to them, the vote being taken in 1696, soon after their arrival in their new home: " Thomas Randall, William Manley, and their neighbors allowed to come here to meeting, and to make a horse-bridge over Cutting Cove River," now known as Quesett River in Easton.

8770 Topsfield's connection with the witchcraft delusion in Salem Village (Danvers) came about largely because of disputes over boundaries and ownership of land. With the belief in witchcraft being so strong, some disputes were settled by accusing an adversary of being a witch. Three Topsfield women were hanged, each insisting on being innocent. No person who confessed was executed. In 1992, on the 300th anniversary of these disgraceful events, the Topsfield Historical Society dedicated a simple monument on the Common to the three Topsfield victims: Mary Towne Esty, Sarah Wildes, and Elizabeth How.

Topsfield Historical Society

Mary was arrested as a witch on 21 April 1692 and kept in jail until 18 May 1692, when she was released. On 21 May 1692 a second warrant was procured. She was taken from her home at midnight and carried to Salem jail and placed in chains. She was tried, found guilty and sentenced to death for witchcraft. She was hanged with several others on 22 Sep 1692.
