Josias Bradley (Brad) Beall (May 22, 1797 March 27, 1836) married (January 27, 1818 Warren County, Georgia) Sarah Brinkley Butt (February 20, 1799 August 6, 1876). The following is a list of the children of Josias Bradley (Brad) Beall and Sarah Brinkley Butt Beall:

B. Susan Millicent Beall (December 22, 1824 September 18, 1907) married (November 26, 1846 - Campbell County, Georgia) John McClure (February 25, 1816 April 1, 1896).
John McClure was born in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. He was the third child of William and Elizabeth McMillan McClure. At the time of his birth, Johns parents and grandparents had been living in the area of the North and South Pacolet Rivers for over 40 years. His grandfather, John Graves McClure, had even served during the time of the American Revolution as a young volunteer from the northern section of Spartanburg County. The members of the McClure family had farmed the rich bottom lands of the Pacolets for as long as they had lived in the area. He moved with his family to Campbell County, Georgia in 1832. John was 16 years of age at the time.
John McClure served as a private in Captain James Words Company, Georgia Mounted Militia in the Cherokee Indian Wars from April 3, 1838 through July 3, 1838. He enlisted at New Echota, Georgia and was discharged from duty at the same location. John McClure made an application for a pension based on his service in the Cherokee Indian Wars on August 22, 1892.
On November 26, 1846, John McClure married Susan Millicent Beall. Rev. Henry Paulett preformed the marriage ceremony. She was the daughter of Josias Bradley (Brad) Beall (May 22, 1792 March 27, 1836) and Sarah Brinkley Butt Beall (February 20, 1799 August 6, 1876). It should be noted that John and Susan McClure named their first son William Bradley (Brad) McClure, William for Johns father and Bradley for Susans father.
On September 13, 1854, John McClure purchased land directly across from the front of Mt. Vernon Baptist Church and immediately began construction on what was to remain his home for the remainder of his life. It was during these years that John, Susan, and their children became very active at Mt. Vernon Baptist Church, Fairburn, Georgia. This strong Baptist heritage can be felt within the McClure family to this day. John McClures mother, Elizabeth McMillan McClure, joined Mt. Vernon in early August 1873. She was 80 years of age at the time. Up until 1873, she had been a Presbyterian. John McClure became a leading member of Mt. Vernon and was a deacon there for a number of years.
Many of the descendants of John McClure and Susan Millicent Beall McClure are buried in the cemetery of Mt. Vernon Baptist Church, Fairburn, Georgia.

Josias Bradley (Brad) Beall was one of the early sheriffs of both Coweta and Campbell Counties, Georgia. His brother, Robert Augustus Beall, Jr., one of the first mayors of Macon, Georgia helped arouse interest in the Macon area for the cause of Texas independence. On October 23, 1835, Bradley (Brad) Beall began his service for Texas as a private in the company of Capt. James C. Winn under the command of Col. James W. Fannin. On March 27, 1836, Palm Sunday, Josias Bradley (Brad) Beall was executed at the Goliad by order of General Santa Anna in what was to become known as the Fannin Massacre. Colonel Fannin and his men had been held prisoner at the Presidio La Bahia before the massacre. The State of Texas has erected a memorial to Colonel Fannin and his men about one quarter mile from the Presidio. Josias Bradley (Brad) Bealls name, along with the other heroes executed at the Goliad in the cause of Texas independence, is engraved on the monument. Charles Dennie McClure was accepted as a member of The Sons of the Republic of Texas on November 1, 1989.
