Hello Margaret-Ann,
I am glad that you found the information useful. I do not know if anyone has researched land records or property surveys, but that would be a good idea.Both Maryland and Virginia records would need to be checked, I think.
As for when the first Dials came to America, Hastings Harrison, in "Martin Dial and Related Families," 1959, page 2, has this to say:
"Tradition concerning the emigration of our Dial ancestors is that after the Battle of Culloden, (April 16, 1746), a great company of interrelated families, including members of Hastings, Blackwell, Powers, Abercrombie and Lockhart families, and members of the Henry Arthur Dial family who had not already done so, came to America, principally from Warwickshire and Oxfordshire, England.No doubt other members of all of these and kindred families had preceded them to the Colonies.There are deed and other records of a Thomas Dial and his wife, Mary, in North Carolina, as early as 1715, and in
Craven District, South Carolina, as early as 1737.His descendants claim that he was a brother of Henry Arthur Dial."
It is not clear when Henry Arthur Dial came to America.
Best regards,
