Thank you for the listings of William Mills MAGRUDER.
As near as I can tell, the assumption that Sarah, the wife of Samuel MAGRUDER was a BEALL, comes from their naming a son Ninian. Other than that, there is nothing to suggest it that I know of. When it was disproved that she was a daughter of Ninian, the thought that she was a BEALL remained, even though there is no reason why other than the name Ninian among the children.
For the theories that John POTTINGER/POTTENGER secondly married Elizabeth MAGRUDER, that doesn't work. Samuel MAGRUDER called John POTTINGER his brother when his will was written in 1710, so such a marriage of John POTTINGER to Elizabeth MAGRUDER would had to have occurred before 1710. John POTTINGER's wife was still Mary in 1717, when on 1 May 1717 John POTTINGER sold to Thomas RICKETTS part of the tract *Majors Lott.* It was acknowledged the same day by "Mrs. Mary POTTINGER the wife of the within Named John POTTINGER." [Prince George's Co. MD deed E:526-527, FHL microfilm 0,014,248.]
The only way it could work for John POTTINGER having married Elizabeth MAGRUDER was if she was a first marriage, and prior to when John and Mary's first child was born in 1688.
