"Last Monday died, in the 85th Year of his Age, .... the Hon.
Othniel Beale, President of his Majesty's Council, at which Board he had a
Seat for upwards of seventeen years past. He was born at Marblehead in New
England and had his Residence here upwards of Fifty-two years; during which
period, he served his Country, with Reputation, in many Public stations, was
an useful Member of the Community, and acquired a very considerable for
tune." (S. C. Gaz., March 29, 1773).
"According to the monument erected in St. Philip's church, (Dalcho, p. 124)
Colonel Beale was in his 84th not 85th year at the time of his death. [The monument erected by his son John was later destroyed in a fire]. He was
originally a sea captain. (Pub. of the Colonial Soc. of Mass. vol. xiii.) Hewatt,
in his History, gives a very interesting experience of his with an Algerian Rover,
about 1724. He was in command of the Charlestown he resigned on account of his age and indifferent health, and it is then stated
that he was "allowed to be one of the best Militia Officers in America." In
1742 he drew up plans for fortifying Charlestown against the expected attack
by the Spaniards. He married Katherine Gale in 1722, March 25, age 73.
His daughter Hannah married William Bull, later the Lt Gov."
He made several bequeaths in his will to "my son-in-law the Honorable William Bull" and to his daughter Hannah Bull.
