Minister Thomas Beals - American Revolution Patriot Graves on Waymarking.com

A short biography of Rev. Beals : Rev. Beals was born in Pennsylvania in 1719, son of John & Sara (Bowater) Beals. He moved often, residing in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina during his days. He was wed in 1741 to Sarah Antram. In 1753, he entered the ministry, and met with many settlers, indians, and soldiers, particularly during the war. He died, close to where he now rests, a victim of an accident with a tree limb on horseback. Rev. Beals was laid to rest in a hollowed out trunk of a walnut tree. It wasn't until the mid to late 1800's that the present stone wall was erected around the site. In 1937, a marker was placed on his grave.
