Alex Beaty, Act of 1855, rejected, #285226, Private in Capt. Beaty's Tenn. USA, 1790; COPIED {L2?, sounds like the father of Alexander and Andrew was "Billy Beaty"?} Oh WOW, Laurel! Thanks so much. This is definitely L2's Alexander and a KEY piece of info. I still have to digest all the info, but it looks to me like this finally disproves for good the theory that Alexander and Andrew were the sons of John and Margaret (Montgomery) Beaty. Wonder if their father Billy could have been the illusive William who was reportedly in the early Fentress/Clinton area and previously supposed to be another son of John Beaty? Does any one know when Ray is getting home? Think this needs his expert eye too. <grin> Thanks again for your diligence in searching through these documents and sharing the info. Nel Rocklein L2

Bounty land Warrant Application File, Record Group 15, Box # 361 and 362 [These files are not indexed, so I copied the outside of each envelope to prepare an index. Box 361 begins with John Beatty. I hope to be able to index Box 360 and alternate spellings, such as Baty and Batey, at some future date. I have looked at every file in this index and tried to abstract additional information that would aid in identifying the soldier.

At the time of William's death he had two siblings under the age of 16: John Beatty born May 14, 1851 and Mary Jane Beatty born Sept. 26, 1854. William Glass and Thomas McCartney are witnesses to her signature. In 1882 Eliza states that her residence and PO address in 1865 were with Wm. Glass, 133 Kentucky St. Buffalo NY where she remained until July 1866 "then moved to her own shanty between Louisiana and Kentucky Streets (which had no #) but was burned out in October, the same year, and then lived a Mrs. Reagan close by until fall of 1868, her husband died during this year after which she lived with Michael McCarthey, Kentucky St., during 1869 after which she went to work out, with families as a domestic, and for the past 10 years she lived with a Mrs. Mary Holleran, working for her board and ?? per week, if she was needed, and at other times she goes out working and doing what work she was able to find; that during this time her address was 16 Hamburgh St., Buffalo, NY. That in 1865 her family consisted of herself, 49 years of age, her husband, 47 years, her son John 14 years and Mary Jane aged 11 years." In 1883 Eliza states "her said husband fell from a building in 1865 and was badly injured, he doctored himself, and was unable to work for about one year." Mary Hollaran, aged 54, and Mary Mulligan, aged 51, state that "James Beatty was a carpenter by occupation and while on a roof shingling a house in the summer of 1865, he fell from the roof, injured himself so much that he was unable to work for nearly a year. They also state "her son William, when only 9 years old, commenced selling papers and blacking boots and earned from 50 cents to $1.25 per day which he gave to the mother, and was used in support of the family. The son enlisted when not quite 17 years old." "That on the 2nd of July 1868 he (James) fell again from a building and was almost instantly killed supposed to have received a sun-stroke while shingling the roof of a building." 1880 Buffalo, Erie County, New York, p359B Peter Holleran 64 IRE Keeping Saloon Mary Holleran 52 IRE Bessie Beaty 64 IRE, IRE, IRE Servant Laurel Baty, L252
