Joseph Albion and Nancy Ross Beale lived on a farm located in Burrell Township (present day Lower Burrell), Westmoreland County, during the mid-nineteenth century.
The Beales had at least four children, the eldest being Thomas (Jeff), Anna Martha, Mary and Benjamin Franklin in the probable order of their birth. Anna Martha Beale was born on October 6, 1842 and lived on the family farm during the Civil War. She married William Thomas Edwards on October 18, 1866 and had four children: Selina Mary, Nancy Mazilla, William Joseph and Charles Newton.
William T. Edwards was a sergeant in the Pennsylvania 14th Calvary (159th Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers), but little is known of his activities after the war.
Anna Martha Beale Edwards died in Allegheny City on December 1, 1897 and is buried in the parish graveyard at Mount Hope Methodist Episcopal Church in Burrell Township.
These papers include incoming correspondence, transcripts and historical notes of these letters, and sundry items related to the Civil War.
