My thinking is that Thomas Beatty and Rachel Cummings were her parents. 1850 Ohio Census lists a Robert,Rachel,Mary E.,Josiah,Martina, and Martin. I'm puzzled. Maybe together we can find out.

Lee Township, Carroll County, has a just right to feel proud of her native-born stalwart sons of the soil, who in their lifetime have done so much toward making the fair land "blosson as the rose", and among the names most deserving of perpetuation in this work is that of Abraham Morehead. Mr. Morehead was born January 5, 1817, a son of Thomas and Mary Hill Morehead. {See sketch of James Morehead.} His boyhood days were passed on the farm and in the school-room, alternately, according to the season of the year, the greater part of his time, however, being occupied in receiving practical lessons in husbandry. At his death he was the owner of 300 acres of well-improved land in Lee Township, all the result of his industry, economy, perserverance and progressiveness. In 1841 he was married to Martha Rawlson, who bore him the following named children: Mary, Nancy, Ellen, Andrew, Joseph, Willard and Annie. This wife dying Mr. Morehead took for his second wife, Mary, daughter of Thomas Beatty, and to this union have been born two children, viz: Dillie and Abraham. Mr. Morehead departed this life in 1890, a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church at Harlem Springs, which church his family also attend; in politics he was a supporter of the Democratic party. Thomas Beatty, father of Mrs. Morehead, was a native of Virginia, born in Loudoun County in 1810. His early life was spent on the homefarm of his parents, and while yet a young man he married Rachel Cummungs, who bore him ten children, namely, respectively, Lucinda, Nancy, William, Albert, Mary, Elizabeth, Josiah, Martina, Martha J. and Sarah. Mr. Beatty in religion was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church and in his political convictions was a stanch Democrat.

Well, my thought was that if this law applied in that particular U.S. jurisdiction in the 18th cen, that would make the two Williams unlikely to be the same person. However, if the law didn't exist, that reasoning would go out the window. The law went extinct in Britain in the 19th cen - legislated away I think- and undoubtedly would have vanished same way here in any states that applied it. (It was a messy law, lots of people attempted to get around it by going abroad and etc.) Michal "Reason is our soul's left hand, Faith her right, by these we reach divinity." John Donne

Dear Michael, This research came from the BP2000 L-005 file sent to me from Ray or Mike. I do not know the Law about marrying sisters you speak of in England, but I do know that brothers married sisters and one man could marry one lady and then after divorce or death marry her sister here in the USA. What I am trying to decifer here is wether or not the William Tate (I) (Father) and William Tate (II) (Son) were the same person... The record they sent me does not have William (I) connected to William (II). just the notes that William Tate who married Mary Beaty is the father of William Tate who married Jane Beaty. If, in fact, they are father and son.. Then WHO is William Tate (II)'s mother? Can I link The father and son in my file, under Mary Beaty as mother? That does not make since..William (II) would be way to young to marry Jane Beaty, Mary beaty's sister... I think that William (I) either married prior to Mary Beaty, and had William (II) or William (I) and William (II) are the same person. But I need the powers that be...(This list) to make a descion. Since I did not do this resaerch I don't want to just connect William Tate (I) to William Tate (II) under a first wife (unknown) if some one knows the answer... Or if an error was made and they are the same person... Your comments are interesting and will help me with my English research... As I am currently researching some of my English surnames.

Hi Nelda, Oddly enough, I know the following information about English law but not about American: In 18th cen England, a man couldn't legally marry his wife's sister - no, not even after his wife died. ;) You might want to check and see if that prohibition existed in the state in question (the southern states in particular frequently relied on English legal precedents during the colonial and early federalist period), might help shed some light on the issue. Just a thought. Michal "Reason is our soul's left hand, Faith her right, by these we reach divinity." John Donne
