She states that she is the widow of James M. Beaty who enrolled Jan. 15, 1862 in Captain Beaty's Company of Scouts Tenn. Vols in the war or 1861. She states that James M.

[I find this one very interesting. George and Malinda are married in Lawrence County, Alabama which is right next to the county my lineage, L252, migrates to from White County, Tennessee. Several of my Baty relatives were married in Lawrence County Alabama since they lived near the border of Lawrence and Morgan Counties. Does anyone recognize this family?--I sure wish I could George and Melinda in 1860 -- L. Baty, L252] George W. Beaty, Company "K" 136th Indiana Infantry; widow Malinda J., William Beaty, guardian. On May 12, 1865 Malinda Jane Baty, aged thirty one and a resident of Pope county, Illinois filed a widow's claim for pension. Malinda is the widow of George W. Beaty who was a Private in Company "K" of the 136th Illinois Volunteers and who died of "typhoid and pneumonia at Columbus, Kentucky on the 7th of August 1864 in the line of duty as a soldier."

On June 15, 1866 Malinda J. Beaty, aged thirty four and a resident of Lawrence County, Alabama filed a Widow's Claim for Pension. Malinda is the widow of George W. Beaty who was a Private in Company "K" of the 136th Illinois Volunteers and who died at Columbus, Kentucky "in Hospital of disease character unknown." Malinda J. McDaniel was married to George W. Beaty on July 17th, 1851 near Oakville, Lawrence County, Alabama by John H. Oden, Minister of the Gospel. G. W. Norwood and James A. McDaniel are witnesses to Malinda Beaty's signature. On July 15, 1867 William Beaty a resident of Saline County, Illinois states that he is the "guardian of William A. Beaty, John G. Beaty, George A. Beaty, Abraham L. Beaty and Mary M. C. Beaty whose father was a Private in Co. K 136th Reg Ills Vols -commanded by W.

Beaty was born September 18th 1863 - and that the parents of his said wards were married at Lawrence Co., Alabama on the 17th day of July 1851." John Beaty and Marion Beaty, residents of Saline County, Missouri, are witnesses to William's signature (by mark). On July 15, 1867 John Beaty and Marion Beaty state "they were personally acquainted with Malinda Beaty wife or widow of George Beaty deceased and that they know that she died on or about the 28 day of July 1866 at Lawrence Co. Alabama. That they know the fact by having taken the children of the said decd -from their there to their friends in Illinois. On May 10, 1878 John G. Baty of Christian County, Missouri states that he is 21 years old and that he is the son and heir of George W. Baty decd, who died while in the United States Army in the war of 1861. that at the time of his fathers death he was under sixteen years of age and entitled to pension, that there was issued a Pension Certificate to William Baty Guardian of himself and William, George, & Abraham Baty.

There is a copy of a "Certificate of Court As To Guardianship" from Christian County, Missouri that shows Joseph Abbott was appointed guardian of the children of George W. Beatty, dec. on January 28, 1874. On July 16, 1867 Sarah Beaty, a resident of Saline County, Illinois, affirms the dates of birth for the minor children of George Beaty.

John M. Beaty, Company "B" 40th Indiana Infantry; widow Sarah J. Beaty (application # 15,366); W. C. Kemp Guardian (minor's certificate # 102,562) On January 31, 1865 Sarah J. Batey aged 27 and a resident of Tipton County, Indiana filed a "Declaration For Widow's Army Pension." Sarah is the widow of John N. Batey (as written on form) who enlisted as a Private in Company "B" 40th Regiment of Indiana Volunteer Infantry in the War of 1861 and who died "at the Jefferson U. S. General Hospital (of inflammation of the lungs contracted while on the service of the United States) at Jeffersonville in the State of Indiana." Sarah states that she married John N. Baty in Howard County, Indiana on Dec. 20, 1865 and that her maiden name was Sarah J. Purvis. A copy of the Marriage records show that this date is wrong: "Indiana, To-wit: Howard County This certifies that I joined in marriage as Husband and wife John M. Beaty and Sarah Jane Purvis on the 22 day of December 1855. J. F. White, Min of the Gospel." Sarah states the following are a list of her children under the age of sixteen: William J. T. Batey born Dec. 10, 1856 Sarah C. E. Batey born May 23, 1858 James O. I. Batey born on Jan. 6, 1860 (?or 1861?) Dryer E. E. Batey born on Nov. 6, 1862 Sanford B. W. Batey born on Jan. 19, 1864. William Barlow and Sarah Hendricks are witnesses to Sarah's signature and affirm her identity, marriage and the existence of her children. An affidavit filed by Jas. P. Lindsey and I. K. Baxter, physicians in Tipton County, Indiana lists the following children of John M. and Sarah J. Beaty: "Wm. T. was born Dec. 10, 1856; S. E. Beaty was born May 22, 185 (# missing); Orval Beaty was born Jan. 10, 1860; Elbert Beaty was born Nov. 6, 1861; Sanford Beaty was born March 19th 1864." A letter from Wm C. Kemp Guardian: "Centre Post Office Oct. 24, 1867, Commissioner of the Interior Your note of Oct. 18th has been recd you want the names of John M. Batys children in full, which I proceed to give. They are as follows: Wm. Joseph Truman Baty, Sarah Clementine Elmira Baty, James Orval Isaiah Baty, James Elbert Elbridge Baty, Sanford Bevligim Baty. Now my dear sir these children are subsisting on charity and have been for last twelve months and if you can do any thing for them you will be conferring a blessing on the truly needy. Wm. C. Kemp, Guardian. A marriage license shows that Sarah J. Beaty married Joseph P. Tooley on October 10, 1865 in Tipton County, Indiana. A document from Howard County, Indiana shows that William C. Kemp was appointed Guardian of the minor heirs of John M. Beaty (William J., Sarah E., Orval, Elbert and Sanford Beaty) and that "Sarah J. Beaty, the mother of the children aforesaid was again married on the tenth day of October 1865, being now the wife of Joseph Tooly." On Sept. 12, 1916 Sarah J. Christian, aged 77 and living in Sharpsville, Indiana filed a remarried widow's declaration for Pension. She states that she married Joseph Tooley after the death of John Beaty, that she divorced Joseph Tooley and afterwards married James Christian who is now dead. She refilled this application in 1916 and gives the date of her marriage to James Christian as "in Clark County, Indiana about 1871 or 1872, who died in Aug. 1909." Her applications are rejected "on the ground that her divorce from her subsequent husband, Joseph P. Tooley, was not without fault on her part." In a letter from the Chief of the Law Division to the Chief of the Civil War Division the following statements are made: "She filed a claim for pension as his (John Beaty) widow, but evidently abandoned the same upon her remarriage to one Joseph P. Tooley, October 10, 1865, with whom she lived for a short period when they were separated, and on March 23, 1867, the claimant filed a petition for divorce." A copy of the Divorce proceeding are in the file. Some information from these proceedings: Joseph Tooley had 8 children by a former wife. "That on the 27th day of July 1866, the plaintiff and defendant became the parents of one other child making in all 14 children which lived with the family and in the house of the defendant." The husband's side: "That soon after their said marriage, the conduct and treatment of the plaintiff towards defendant disclosed to him, that she was an ill tempered, evil minded and uneasy woman dissatisfied with all the provisions he had made for her happiness and comfort. That the conduct and treatment of the plaintiff towards the defendant has been most cruel and abusive. That plaintiff greatly abuses his children, has even attempted to knock them down with a club and has drawn the same to execute her threats and has even tried to drive his children from home. That she allows her own children to go without restraint and greatly abuse his children, not satisfied with which and for the purpose of injuring and wounding the feelings of the defendant. She has questioned the character of defendants deceased wife for chastity and virtue and has thrown up to him that she was a whore and a prostitute. That on the 12th day of March 1867, plaintiff left and abandoned defendant without any just cause or provocation and moved out of the County; is now a resident of Howard County, Indiana and says she will never return and live with the defendant. Defendant further says there is no possibility of them ever living together again. Sarah does not appear at the Divorce proceedings so Joseph is granted a Divorce and custody of his 8 children, Francis M., Ancil N., Martha E., Nancy A., Eliza J., John H., and Margaret L. and their joint child, Perry M. Tooley. Sarah files a Motion to review Divorce & Alimony in October Term 1867 stating: "long before the term of this court defendant and plaintiff had privately arranged all the matters of difficulty and was to live as husband and wife, and that her said petition was to be dismissed and by agreement with defendant both were to come to the court the last week of the this term of court and dismiss her bill, that confiding in these agreements and represents she was induced to & did not appear at the Court to prosecute her suit, nor did she advise with or consult her attorney for the reason aforesaid. She states that she believed said divorce was obtained by fraud and that if she had not been prevented from attending by the false statements & representations of defendant she would have obtained the divorce herself..She also states that she has one child of the age of one year and three months, a male child named Perry Morton, which is at the breast and she has the custody of said child." Sarah is allowed $400 alimony and the custody of Perry Morton. 1880, Cicero, Tipton County, Indiana page 115B James Christian 53, KY, KY, KY Sarah J. wife IND, KY, KY Eddie M. 4 son IND, KY, IND James M. ?

To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, Otherdays.com offered their databases for free. The search engine wasn't usable, but I did get this information. Sarah Beattie L107 Wills and Marriage Licenses, Dublin Diocese 1270-1857 Consisting of almost half a million names, the Index of Wills, Marriage Licenses, Administrations and Probates for the diocese of Dublin for the years 1270 to 1800 has just been published in the Otherdays.com Library. The scope of the present Index, both in terms of volume of names and the extensive time period to which it relates, makes it one of the most significant Irish genealogical sources to become available online. While primarily relevant to the diocese of Dublin, the central role of Dublin within Irish society ensures its countrywide significance. The Index was originally published in 1895 as an Appendix to the Twenty-Sixth Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records and Keeper of the State Papers in Ireland. The greater majority of the original records upon which the Index was based were destroyed when the Public Record Office was blown up in 1922. As such the present Index will in most cases be the sole surviving record of the event to which it refers. Before 1857 the Church of Ireland, as the Established Church, administered all affairs relating to Marriages and the implementation of Wills. Within each diocese, the Church established its own Consistorial Court that was responsible for the processing of all Wills, Administrations and Marriage Licenses. However where the person's estate included property in another diocese valued at over five pounds, responsibility for the estate passed to a central church court known as the Prerogative Court based in Armagh. The present Index records all persons whose names were recorded by the Consistorial Court of the diocese of Dublin in one or other of the following capacities; Original Wills Probate Acts of Administration (for those who died without making a Will (Intestate)) Marriage Licenses The principal source for the present Index was the "Act or Grant Books of the Consistorial Court of the Diocese of Dublin". However the Index used several other sources that are listed in the "Introductory Notes" that can be viewed online. The majority of those recorded lived within the diocese of Dublin. That diocese contains all of county Dublin and sections of counties Wicklow and Kildare. However many marriages for persons who lived outside of Dublin took place in the Capital City and hence the couple may have applied to the Dublin Consistorial Court for a marriage license. The act of making a Will indicates that a person has some assets to dispose of after death. As such Wills for the nineteenth and earlier centuries relate primarily to those who actually owned property, namely the landed gentry, those engaged in one of the professions e.g. law, medicine, clergy etc., tradespeople, etc. Similarly marriage licenses were normally the reserve of the middle and upper classes. The amount in question however could be very small and as such the present Index does have relevance to those just above the lower social orders. The greater majority of occupations recorded display a remarkable ordinariness, e.g. "baker, carpenter, farrier, cook, clerk, etc." As such this Index is far from being a "landed gentry" source only. The Index is available in the Otherdays.com Library and is searchable by "Surname" only.

Mrs. Beatty was the last surviving member of the family of Samuel and Mary Bailey and was born on the old Bailey lot now the site of the Park Hotel, Franklin, Pa., on May 21, 1827. She was married to Miles Beatty in 1850 and resided in Franklin until about 9 years ago when she moved to Pittsburgh to live with her daughters who survive her, namely: Misses Suzanne S., Anna and Helen. She also leaves one daughter, Mary, who resides in New York. The remains were taken to Franklin where they were given interment from the home of Mrs. Mary E. Epley, Wednesday afternoon, Rev. R. E. Brown, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church of which the deceased was a long and faithful member, assisted by Rev. J. N. Fradenburgh, D. D., a former favorite pastor, conducted the service. To the members of the bereaved family and especially to Miss Suzanne who was Court stenographer in the courts of Clarion county for a number of years, the sympathy of this community is extended. Beatty, James R. - June 4, 1908 - The funeral of James R. Beatty was held at the late residence on Weed Street on Wednesday forenoon of this week. A very large number of friends, especially old friends of Miola and Scotch Hill, and about where he had once lived. The services were in charge of the pastor of the family, Rev. Willis K. Crosby, and Rev. B. F. Delo who was an old friend. The interment was in charge of Mr. J. D. Smullin and was in the Clarion cemetery. Mr. Beatty was born March 16, 1860 in Clarion County and has been almost a continuous resident all his life. For 12 years the family has lived in Clarion. He has followed the business of contracting and drilling with success and was well known and esteemed throughout this part of the oil country. On June 22, 1890 he was married to Miss Cella Simpson, the wedding occurring at Ridgway. Five children survive the father: Irene, Turner B., Edith L., William W., and James R., all of whom are still in the home of sorrow with their mother. The death was occasioned by heart trouble but his immediate illness was not of long duration. The end came quietly on Sunday evening. His mother, Mrs. Eveline Frantz, a brother, George Beatty, two half sisters, Mrs. Lotta Condron and Mrs. John Dolby, all of Miola, also survive him. Mr. Beaty was regarded by all who knew him in a business way as an honorable man, an industrious and good citizen. He was a kind father, proud of his family, and a friend who proved true. The sympathy of a wide circle is heartily extended to the bereaved ones left behind.

Joe, Donna, and Lisa, This is L-241. A.S. Beaty was Alexander "Alex" Stephen Beaty, one of the sons of Thomas Ross Beaty. The Zeke mentioned in the article was Alex's brother and my great-grandfather. Zeke was the first of the family to move from Georgia to Palo Pinto County, Texas (in 1876). Some of his brothers and sisters (and his mother) followed in subsequent years. Yes, Joe, they were in Chattooga Co., GA, in 1870, and part of the family was in Floyd, GA in 1880. The 1880 Census data of Palo Pinto County is Zeke's (Ezeikel Baety (Ezekiel Marion Beaty)) family (Franklin was my grandfather). Les Beaty L-20b, L-241

Beaty] Forwarded for Lisa..... li29pi@cogeco.ca I found this site while trying to find Batey/Beaty in Thurber and Parker Co. Texas. I'm looking for a Batey Texco Station in Millsap. This website has all types of articles and this Beaty article was there with a photo to the article provided at the link below. Lisa First Home Mouth of Boggy Creek Mr. And Mrs. A. S. Beaty Built http://www.rootsweb.com/~txpalopi/oddsnends/1857-1957news/beaty.htm Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Beaty landed in Palo Pinto County in 1884, stopping at Santo where they were met at the train by Zeke Beaty who had come as a young man to the country. They went, soon, to the New Hope community where Zeke and his family lived and later moved on to the mouth of Boggy Creek. There they settled in a double log cabin for a time sharing the cabin with Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Finch until springtime when they built a log cabin with a lean-to for their new home. Both Mr. and Mrs. Beaty were natives of Atlanta, Ga., and were married in 1879. Mr. Beaty owned and operated a saw mill in the small town of Alpine, Ga., where the couple settled for a time. Doctors advised a change of climate for Mr. Beaty and they decided to move to Texas. By this time, they had two children, a daughter, Dora, and a son, Tom, and they left by immigrant train bound for the west. A brother, Jim Beaty, and his family were also on the train and the group assembled at Menloe, leaving there Dec. 8, 1884. Dora, the 4-year-old daughter of the A. S. Beatys, now Mrs. Lewis Rogers, remembers the trip and especially the crossing of the Mississippi River. It was flood time and the train was over water for about 5 miles and the train had to be divided and taken over in sections, thereby delaying all the passengers. Crude lanterns furnished the only light and they were carried by overseers. She remembers the singing of the Negroes as they progressed and remembere! d it as a terrifying experience. They landed in Santo 5 days after they left home. A sage suggestion was made by Mrs. Rogers in relating the story when she said they spent the first few years trying to lean the ways of Texas and "to learn about Texas weather, which she is sure they never did". The drought of 1886-87 followed their arrival by a few years and they thought they were going to starve to death. Leaving the old state with its plentiful crops of fruit and vegetables and springs of cold water, it was hard to haul water from the river. Okra, which grew wild or volunteer, was the only vegetable available and it is strange how many ways could be found to prepare it. Stalks grew on the river and in fence rows. By the end of the drought, only one well was still furnishing water and the men hauled water for drinking, taking certain days of the week in order not to tax the supply to much and the women gathered at the well to wash the family clothes. Mr. Beaty bought two yearlings on his arrival here and they grew into an ox team which he drove to pull the slide that he used about the farm and to haul water. Wild hogs had to be killed for meat as game was scarce and the hogs were vicious, living on acorns and raising their young in the hills and on the river! . Mrs. Rogers relates a narrow escape her family had while fishing on the river. They had gone on the slide and set out hooks, when her father came running to the camp and told them to load on to the slide and the ox team, still hitched, was driven on the run to safety. They didn't wait to pick up the camping equipment. They reached safety but Mrs. Rogers states that, with the possible exception of a mountain fire, was her most frightening experience. Going to the mountains, when meat was scarce, the men would dig a hole and fix a trap putting food near for a time until hogs came willingly to the place, then they would spring the trap and quickly kill the hogs needed for a supply of bacon. This was the way hogs were trapped for food in that time. Santo was the nearest town and a doctor had to be gone after when serious illness occurred in a family. Banking was done in the Cunningham Bank in Palo Pinto, the only bank in the county at the time. When ranches were fenced, wire cutting was common and it was several years before fences were safe from cutting. Mr. Beaty died in June of 1923 at the age of 66 and Mrs. Beaty lived to be 91, passing away in 1951. ================================ http://www.rootsweb.com/~txmdhms/index.htm #327 on BP-2000.com ==== BP2000 Mailing List ==== To unsubscribe from BP2000-L, send a NEW message to BP2000-L-request@rootsweb.com with the word "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the body of the email and nothing else.

The Beaty family traces descent to Thomas Beaty, who emigrated from Ireland, in the year 1767, October, with his wife and five children, David, Jean, Thomas, Samuel, and William, leaving one son, John, who was married, in Ireland. The family settled first in Salem, and hence were among the earliest pioneers of this part of Washington county. The ancestry were of Scotch descent, and emigrated to Ireland on account of religious persecution in Scotland. The great-grandfather erected his log-cabin in the wilderness on the lot he had taken up, the greater part of which, with the assistance of his boys, he cleared. He lived to be eighty-three years of age, and died where he had settled. John, the grandfather, with his wife and daughter, Jane, emigrated from Ireland the same year as his father, and, after a voyage of seventeen weeks, first settled in Pennsylvania, where he remained for about two years, where he earned money enough, as a common laborer, to get to Washington ! county, town of Salem, where he arrived and erected his log shanty in the woods in the year 1769, taking up one lot of land. He erected his second log cabin in the year 1772, which, at the time of writing this sketch, 1878, is still standing, and the property owned by one of the grandchildren, Wm. J. The early history of this family in meeting the obstacles of settlement in a new country; the slow but sure development from scanty means to pecuniary competence and comfortable surroundings; the raising of a large family; the consequent dread and fear by the presence of Indians and the march of Burgoyne, with incidents connected with the embarrassments under which settlers were placed at that time, would fill a volume, and can only be briefly referred to in this narrative. The result of the labor of the grandfather in buildings and surroundings, are to-day as he left them, except their natural decay. John Beaty lived on the spot where he first settled during the balance of! his life; after his settlement, was a farmer by occupation. He recei ved a very limited education from books in his youth, but gained by observation and business experience what he was wanting in early education. He was a man of unquestioned integrity in all his business transactions; was warmly attached to the best interests building up churches and schools in the town; was a member of the Associate reformed Presbyterian church at Salem, established by Dr. Clark in 1765. he died in his seventy-seventh year, May 20, 1817, leaving a wife and nine children (Jane having died while young). His wife, whose maiden name was Grizzy McRaebert, died in the year 1828, at the age of eighty-two. John, father of the subject of this memoir, and eighth child of this family, was born in January, 1784. Married for his first wife Mary Beaty, by whom he had five children -Samuel, John, Jane, Mary G., and Ebenezer. The mother of these children was a woman of great courage and resolution to do what she conceived to be right, possessing great decision of character. She died in 1835. For his second wife he married Agnes McCoy, of Argyle, by whom he had one son, William J., who now resides on the old homestead. The father spent his life after the year 1818, for the next thirty years, as a merchant in Salem village; previous to which, and subsequently, he was a farmer. Was never solicitous of any notoriety by way of political preferment, but was prominent in the councils of the church of his choice, the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church at Salem, in which he was an elder for about thirty years. He died at the age of (nearly) seventy, in the years 1853. The second wife died in the year 1867. Samuel Beaty spent his minority as a clerk in the store of his father at Salem. Was married in the year 1830, to Hannah D., daughter of Judge Rising, of West Rupert, Vt. By this union he has two surviving children, -- Mary L., and Ebenezer. His wife died May 14, 1839. For his second wife Mr. Beaty married Lemira S. Harwood, daughter of Perez Harwood, of Bennington, Vt., by whom he had one daughter, -- Lemira M. The second wife died October 14, 1844. For his last wife he married Fanny J., daughter of Henry Harwood, of Bennington, Vt., by whom he has 3 surviving children, -- Abby A., Henry H., and Jenny Bell. The mother of these children died November 19, 1873. Mr. Beaty has followed the occupation of a farmer and is ranked among the successful agriculturists of the county. Mr. Beaty cast his first vote for President of the United States for John Quincy Adams. Was a member of the old Whig party, and since the organization of the Republican party has been an ardent supporter of its principles until the year 1872, when he became a liberal and independent voter. It is a fact worthy of note here that the political principles held by the ancestry are still firmly adhered to by the great-grandchildren. Characteristic of Mr. Beaty are his strong temperance proclivities; his firmness in decision in all matters in which he is interested; his indefatigable resolution to carry forward to a successful issue any measure receiving his attention; his kindness in his family, and sociality with his friends. Ebenezer Beaty was born December 8, 1819. During his early life was a clerk in his father's store at Salem, and subsequently became a partner. The latter part of his life was spent as a farmer on the old homestead. He was n ever married. He died January 1, 1879. His portrait, with his brother William J.'s, will be found above a view of the old homestead first settled by the grandfather. William J. Beaty was born October 26, 1838; occupies and owns the old homestead; married Mrs. Mary Jane, widow of the late Robert Hunter (who was a soldier of the war, and deceased), and a daughter of John Denison, of Salem.

In 1830, 1840, and 1850 NO Beatties are listed. All of a sudden in 1870 there are 98 , of all ages and all born in NY. I know this spelling problem occurs often, but to eliminate a whole family for 40 years sounds more like "surname genocide" !! No wonder Washington Co is such a puzzle. It almost seems like a vendetta by the enumerators. Has anyone investigated this and how it would affect line #s.

Hey guys, I was refering to the Federal census only as indexed on Ancestry and to the "Beattie spelling only.I do not have access to the 1860 numbers, but I found it interesting that of those listed none were in Salem, but by 1870 the were 77 listed in Salem alone Thanks for the response, Bruce L-464
