Toronto Daily Star, Tuesday, April 16, 1940 'Give Wife Own Way' Octogenarian Urges Mr. and Mrs. Robert BEATTIE Celebrate 62nd Wedding Anniversary "If you want to keep your wife happy always give her her own way." advises Robert Beattie, Grenadier Rd. He and his wife today celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary. A granddaughter, Mrs. J. S. Rogers, is having a reception for her grandparents this afternoon at her home, Bermuda Ave. Both Mr. Beattie, born in Ireland 84 years ago and his wife, 82, who was born in Scotland, enjoy excellent health. They came to Canada as children and operated a general store and telephone office at Chesterville for many years. Mrs. Beattie's Advice for a happy marriage is "always keep up many interests." It keeps a family in good spirits and yourself young in thought, she said. "I've always been busy-if you sit down, and fold your hands you'll never want to move." She said. "I take just as much interest in the newspaper and what is going on now as I ever did-more, because I have the time." When her own two daughters, Mrs. Effie Fisher, Toronto and Mrs. Seymour, Montreal, grew up, she "kept young" by watching their growing families and sharing interests with the grandchildren. Now they have 8 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Mr. Beattie believes walking has been responsible principally for his good health. He still takes long walks every day.

This obituaries were sent to me several weeks ago by Steve Beaty and I thought I would pass them on to the list. Laurel Baty, L252 Beattie, Edgar C. -- Edgar C. Beattie, aged 26 years, died Saturday night at the Emergency Hospital in Mansfield. He had been at the home of his sister, Mrs. John Reed, at Mansfield, for several weeks. He was taken to the hospital Saturday afternoon to undergo an operation, but death resulted before he could be operated upon. He leaves a mother and one sister. The remains were brought to Bellville Wednesday. Services were held at the home of L.M. Gardner and interment was made in the Bellville Cemetery. -- [Bellville Messenger: 12 January 1906, Vol. 13, No. 50] Beattie, William -- William Beattie, aged 30, died at his home on East Third Street, at 2:30 this morning, from the effects of a gun shot wound in the calf of his right leg received while hunting Monday morning. The deceased leaves a wife and one child to mourn his death. The funeral will be held at the family residence at 2:30 sun time, Sunday afternoon. The circumstances surrounding Mr. Beattie's death are very sad. In company with Thomas Bloor and Harry Henry on last Monday morning he repaired east of the city to enjoy a day's hunting. While walking near the Pennsylvania track Bloor's gun accidentally exploded and the charge of shot entered Mr. Beattie's leg. He was brought back to the city as soon as possible, but as he had lost a great amount of blood the surgeons did not deem it advisable to amputate the member. He lingered until this morning, when he died. The deceased was well known and was quite highly esteemed by the people of the city and his death will be a surprise to many friends. -- [Richland Shield & Banner: 30 September 1893, Vol. LXXVI, No. 19] Beattie, William C. -- William C. Beattie was born in Cumberland, Penn., Sept. 6, 1823, and died April 24, 1905. The deceased was 81 years, 7 months and 18 days of age. The services were held at his late residence on Church Street, Wednesday afternoon, April 26, at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. A.C. Rand assisted by Rev. J.F. Hersheiser. Interment was made in the Bellville Cemetery. When nine years of age, the deceased came to this country with his parents, who resided 3 miles from Lexington. When at 30 he was united in marriage to Mary Knox, who died in 1876. He was again married in 1878, to Susie Armstrong, from whom two children were born, Edgar and Bertha, both of whom survive him. He united with the Presbyterian church in 1868 and was always a faithful member until the last few years, when his health would not permit him to attend longer. He was a well known citizen and will be greatly missed by his many friends. <poem omitted> -- [Bellville Messenger: 05 May 1905, Vol. 13, No. 14] Beatty, Daniel -- The remains of Daniel Beatty a former resident of Plymouth, and connected with the Northern Ohio railway in the capacity of roadmaster, but who of late has held the position of maintenance of ways, and who died at his home in Akron Saturday after a brief illness of pneumonia, was taken through Plymouth on No. 1 at 12:06 Monday afternoon to his old home in Danville, Ind., for burial. Deceased was a man held in high esteem by railroad officials, a worthy citizen and a man much esteemed by all that had his acquaintance. He is survived by his wife, one son, and a daughter, who have the sympathy of their many Plymouth friends. -- [Plymouth Advertiser: 25 April 1914, Vol. 61, No. 23]

Hello Laurel I may be able to help with the 1656 testament, some of them are tricky to read but the wording is often very similar so after you have seen a few it is a little easier. The language will most likely be Scots and not Latin. Just let me know. I noticed that you are still hoping to find a Dumfriesshire DNA link. As I mentioned in my e-mail to the list of 9th January 2007, although there are now no Beattie males still alive in my immediate family, I have traced a distant cousin who may be the only male descendant of L237 (which originates at Eskdalemuir) now alive in Scotland, but have not personally been in touch with him as yet. I take it this wasn't what anyone was looking for at the time, if it is of any more use now I would still be happy to supply details. Hope this helps Graham Maxwell (L237)

Great news Laurel Baty; thanks for sharing. I have been to Lockerbie (1996) but I like Langholm and Canonbie and the other little border towns better; is there actually a town center in Lockerbie? I was only driving around seeing the still, yellow, cordoned off ribbons where some crash material had dropped/hit and the memorial itself. Sad. But it is a 'joyful' memorial. Once my Beattie cousin told me in a letter that there was plutonium on that airplane that crashed but when I asked him in person about what he had said in the letter, he denied it/he was a representative to the local/regional administrative council which included Lockerbie.

Hi Elaine, I found a link http://www.Scottishhandwriting.com that states Scottish documents from 1500 - 1750 are written in "Secretary Hand." Many of the letters in Secretary hand are quite different from letters that we use today. I read the tutorial but still can't read the document! If anyone wants to see what this looks like and try to decipher the testament I am happy to send an image.

I ordered a copy of the testament of William Beattie of Watcarrick, 1656 from http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk I can read only a few words from the document (William Beattie Watcarrick are clearly visible). The language does not look like Latin. Does anyone have else have experience with early documents from Scotland and England? There are several other Beattie wills from this time period and region of Scotland. Laurel Baty, L252

Gerri, My brother (in his sixties) took the test. Since he and I would be 7 generations removed from the Fentress/Clinton Co. groups, ...I guess there would not be any "close Kinships"...but somewhere in the mix...there has to be a common ancestor. Forgot to mention...William Beaty of Clinton Co. KY/ to Saline Co., Mo. was reported to have been born in Pa. c. 1764 Marlene

I have seen several references to Beatties being mentioned in Sir Walter Scott's poem "Lay of the Last Minstel." In case anyone is interested, here is a link to the passages (Canto 4, X-XII): http://www.theotherpages.org/poems/canto04.html The Beatties are called "Beattisons" Wattcarrick (Woodkerrick) is mentioned as well as Eskdalemuir and many other Border landmarks that we visited on our Beatty DNA Tour. Scotts of Eskdale, a stalwart band, Came trooping down the Todshaw-hill; By the sword they won their land, And by the sword they hold it still. Hearken, Ladye, to the tale, How thy sires won fair Eskdale. Earl Morton was lord of that valley fair; The Beattisons were his vassals there. The Earl was gentle, and mild of mood; The vassals vere warlike, and fierce, and rude; High of heart, and haughty of word, Little they reck'd of a tame liege lord. The Earl into fair Eskdale came, Homage and seignory to claim: Of Gilbert the Galliard a heriot he sought, Saying, "Give thy best steed, as a vassal ought." "Dear to me is my bonny white steed, Oft has he help d me at pinch of need; Lord and Earl though thou be, I trow I can rein Bucksfoot better than thou." Word on word gave fuel to fire, Till so highly blazed the Beattison's ire, But that the Earl the flight had ta'en, The vassals there their lord had slain. Sore he plied both whip and spur, As he urged his steed through Eskdale muir; And it fell down a weary weight, Just on the threshold of Branksome gate. XI The Earl was a wrathful man to see, Full fain avenged would he be. In haste to Branksome's Lord he spoke, Saying--"Take these traitors to thy yoke; For a cast of hawks, and a purse of gold, All Eskdale I'll sell thee, to have and hold: Beshrew thy heart, of the Beattisons' clan If thou leavest on Eske a landed man; But spare Woodkerrick's lands alone, For he lent me his horse to escape upon." A glad man then was Branksome bold, Down he flung him the purse of gold; To Eskdale soon he spurr'd amain, And with him five hundred riders has ta'en He left his merrymen in the mist of the hill And bade them hold them close and still; And alone he wended to the plain, To meet with the Galliard and all his train. To Gilbert the Galliard thus he said "Know thou me for thy liege-lord and head; Deal not with me as with Morton tame, For Scotts play best at the roughest game. Give me in peace my heriot due, Thy bonny white steed, or thou shalt rue. If my horn I three times wind, Eskdale shall long have the sound in mind." XII Loudly the Beattison laugh'd in scorn; "Little care we for thy winded horn. Ne'er shall it be the Galliard's lot To yield his steed to a haughty Scott. Wend thou to Branksome back on foot With rusty spur and miry boot." He blew his bugle so loud and hoarse That the dun deer started at fair Craikcross; He blew again so loud and clear, Through the grey mountain-mist there did lances appear; And the third blast rang with such a din That the echoes answer'd from Pentoun-linn And all his riders came lightly in. Then had you seen a gallant shock When saddles were emptied and lances broke! For each scornful word the Galliard had said A Beattison on the field was laid. His own good sword the chieftain drew, And he bore the Galliard through and through; Where the Beattisons' blood mix'dwith the rill, The Galliard's-Haugh men call it still, The Scotts have scatter'd the Beattison clan In Eskdale they left but one landed man The valley of Eske, from the mouth to the source Was lost and won for that bonny white horse.

I thought I would also post some information on William Beattie who died in 1842 at Watcarrick. He leaves his estate to Mary Beattie Bell, owner of Watcarrick, where he resides in 1841. He cannot be her brother since she is the only surviving child of a William Beattie who died c1806--perhaps they are cousins? Probate Record of William Beattie, Dumfries Sheriff Court, 1842 [The following is a transcription of a portion of the above record. It names Mary Beattie Bell of Watcarrick as executrix and legatee. Also named are brother James Beattie of Eskdalrig, sister Lillie Beattie Bell, Castlehill; and several other legatees whose relationship to William Beattie is not specified.-Laurel Baty, L252] At Watcarrick the twelfth day of August Eighteen hundred and forty two years.

Marlene, I wish I understood what you just wrote, no criticism of your ability to express--just my ignorance on the subject. : ) So I'll ask questions. You said you are ID 31 on the charts results. Does that mean you took the test? I thought only guys took the tests. Does a genetic distance of (-1) and (-2) indicate a close kinship? It would be interesting to see what results someone such as myself (having L2B,E & F ancestors) would get.
