Joseph Cleghorn (note the spelling) Beal is reported as the third son of Joseph Beal and Elizabeth Cleghorn in "John Beal The Centenarian and Descendants" 1956 by Bertha Bortle Beal Aldridge.
Dates and locations agree with your information.
Married Polly Rice, dau of John and Luceba Blodgett Rice of Attica, Ohio, a millwright, on Mar. 26, 1849.
Fanny (again spelling difference) Luceba, born 1852, married Mar 20, 1878 George Washington Baker. I imagine you know the rest.
Fanny was an eighth generation descendant of John Beal, The Centenarian. A Puritan who fled to Hingham, Mass. in 1638.
