Alexander had a brother named Robert and he was not the son of Thomas.As for the spelling,clerks,census-takers,etc. spelled phonetically at times, or as they saw fit.It's not unusual to see names spelled differently on the same page,even.I don't know of any documentation showing the Bealls were ordered to change the spelling of their name.
