    3. I found two Biographies which I think are L6--I don't want to type them if you already have them! I could not find them posted. From "Biographical and Portrait Cyclopedia of Monongalia, Marion and Taylor Counties, West Virginia Compriding About Five Hundred Sketches Of the Prominent And Representaive Citizens of These Counties", 1895 One is page 19 Newton S. Beatty--quite a long one giving his parents as James C. and Maria (Dent) Beatty, Alexander Beaty paternal grandfather. The other is page 86 Ezra Shuman son of Joshua and Mariam (Amos) Shuman--grandfather John Shuman who "emigrated from near Philadelhia to what is known as Minster's run, Marion County, them Monongalia county...He had two brothers --Philip and another who served in the Revolutionary War...he married Elizabeth Smith, and they became parents of fourteen children, as follows: Mary, Rachel, Catherine, Joseph, Benjamin, Jacob, (one that died in infancy), Letitia, John, Sophia, David, Elizabeth, Hannah and Joshua...."

Chicago: Goodspeed Publishers, 1889. page 579 W. T. Beatty is a general merchant, postmaster and magistrate at Perkins, Ark., and has been engaged in the first mentioned business since February, 1888. He keeps a full line of groceries, dry goods, boots and shoes, and shelf hardware, and, in addition to this manages a steam cottongin, of which he is the owner. His store building and residence are in one, and, although he is now living quietly, his life has been rather an eventful one. He was born in Madison County, Tenn., in 1844, and is the seventh of ten children born to John and Martha A. Beatty, who were born in the "Old North State." They removed to Madison County, Tenn., at an early day, and here the father opened up a good farm, on which he resided until his death, in 1854, his excellent wife passing from life in 1865. John Beatty was of English descent, was a Democrat in politics, and a Mason, and held office in this order. The maternal grandfather, Joseph Tarburton, was a German, and was a soldier in the Mexican War. W. T. Beatty received his early schooling in Tennessee, and when war was declared, although only sixteen years of age, he enlisted from Madison County, Tenn., in Company E, Sixth Tennessee Infantry, for three years, or during the war, and went into service at Spring Creek, in that State. He was in the battle of Shiloh, but was afterward discharged at Tupelo, Miss., being under age. He remained inactive for about four months, a portion of the time being sick with typhoid fever; but after recovering he enlisted in the State Militia of Mississippi, and was then transferred to the Fifteenth Tennessee Cavalry, under Gen. Forrest, and remained with him until the close of the war. He returned to Tennessee in 1866, and for some time was engaged in farming and saw-milling, and also followed railroading, being on the Belmont branch of the Iron Mountain road from 1874 to 1880, with headquarters at Columbus, Ky. From that time until 1882 he was in the Government employ, working on the Mississippi River, and made his headquartors at Plum Point, Tenn. In the spring of 1883 he came to Marked Tree, Ark., and after following the occupation of saw-milling for one year he went to Harrisburg, and embarked in the hotel and livery business. This enterprise he abandoned in 1885, and removed to Cross County, where he followed milling, but returned in 1886 to Marked Tree. Here he has since been engaged in general merchandising. He is a Democrat, and since September, 1888, he has held the office of magistrate, and since May of the same year has been postmaster at the office called Perkins. He belongs to the school board in District No. 14, and has always taken an interest in matters pertaining to education, being now the president of the Union Debating Society. He was married in Madison County, Tenn., in 1869, to Miss Nancy Ann Williford, of that State, and her death occurred in Columbus, Ky., October 1, 1880. She left two children: Wyatt Jefferson and Martha Ada (Mrs. Lucas), both of Paragould. In November, 1883, Mr. Beatty wedded, in Harrisburg, Miss Cynthia Ann Maynard, a native of Tennessee. She is a member of the Baptist Church. Since the construction of the railroad through Little River Township land has greatly increased in [p.579] value, and it is only a question of a few years when this township will be one of the best farming regions in the county.

    2. James Shuman

    3. Laurel, You are correct on the first one as being L-6, but the second one, while it is indeed part of my family, is not directly related to the BEATY family. Joshua Shuman was a younger brother of Joseph Shuman who married Elizabeth BEATY, oldest child of Alexander BEATY, first known ancestor of the L-6 line. Those histories are some of the "vanity" histories published during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We've scoured through them for facts, but have had to take what they say with a pretty big lump of salt sometimes <g>. That's why we've not posted them online anywhere, although those who are curious can view our "version" of the early history at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~shuman/genealogy.html.

He was in the battle of Shiloh, but was afterward discharged at Tupelo, Miss., being under age. He remained inactive for about four months, a portion of the time being sick with typhoid fever; but after recovering he enlisted in the State Militia of Mississippi, and was then transferred to the Fifteenth Tennessee Cavalry, under Gen. Forrest, and remained with him until the close of the war. He returned to Tennessee in 1866, and for some time was engaged in farming and saw-milling, and also followed railroading, being on the Belmont branch of the Iron Mountain road from 1874 to 1880, with headquarters at Columbus, Ky. From that time until 1882 he was in the Government employ, working on the Mississippi River, and made his headquartors at Plum Point, Tenn. In the spring of 1883 he came to Marked Tree, Ark., and after following the occupation of saw-milling for one year he went to Harrisburg, and embarked in the hotel and livery business. This enterprise he abandoned in 1885, and removed to Cross County, where he followed milling, but returned in 1886 to Marked Tree. Here he has since been engaged in general merchandising. He is a Democrat, and since September, 1888, he has held the office of magistrate, and since May of the same year has been postmaster at the office called Perkins. He belongs to the school board in District No. 14, and has always taken an interest in matters pertaining to education, being now the president of the Union Debating Society. He was married in Madison County, Tenn., in 1869, to Miss Nancy Ann Williford, of that State, and her death occurred in Columbus, Ky., October 1, 1880. She left two children: Wyatt Jefferson and Martha Ada (Mrs. Lucas), both of Paragould. In November, 1883, Mr. Beatty wedded, in Harrisburg, Miss Cynthia Ann Maynard, a native of Tennessee. She is a member of the Baptist Church. Since the construction of the railroad through Little River Township land has greatly increased in [p.579] value, and it is only a question of a few years when this township will be one of the best farming regions in the county.

Sims, a prominent farmer and stock raiser of Sullivan Township, was born in Rutherford County, Tenn., in 1832. His parents were the Hon. Leonard H. and Louisa (Beatty) Sims, born in North Carolina in 1807, and Virginia in 1808, respectively, and were united in marriage in Rutherford. County, Tenn. In 1839 the parents [p.754] removed to a point near Springfield, Mo., but in 1847 returned to Tennessee, and in 1859 they came to Independence County, Ark., where the father died in 1886, and the mother in Tennessee the following year. The elder Sims was at one time one of the most brilliant politicians in Tennessee. He twice represented Rutherford County in the legislature, and from 1842 to 1845 or 1846, represented Greene County, Mo., in the State legislature, During the Polk administration he was a member of the National Congress from Missouri (at large), and in 1866 was elected to represent Independence and Stone Counties in the State senate. He was again elected in 1874 for the long term of four years, and his oratory while a member of that body was noted for its eloquence. He was a man of superior abilities, a close observer of men and events, and a shrewd politician, and never suffered defeat in a political contest. When a member of the senate he served on the committee on Federal returns, and was one of the ablest men of that body, and was also an ardent advocate for the payment in full of the State debt. During his first term in the Arkansas State senate he delivered the memorial address on the late Senator Lusburrow, who was the senator from Pulaski County during that session, but had recently committed suicide while the senate was in session. This was one of the most eloquent and able addresses ever heard in the senate chamber, and Mr. Sims was the recipient of many flattering compliments and considerable praise on this occasion. He was also a prominent member of the A. F. & A. M., Curia Lodge, and of the Royal Arch Chapter. In politics he had been a Democrat all his life, and was a strong supporter of that party. Thomas C. Sims was the fourth child of seven sons and five daughters, and received a good common school and academic education. In 1854 he was married to Sarah J., daughter of Judge A. H. Nunn, and by this marriage has had ten children, of whom four sons and three daughters are still living. In 1855 he moved to what is now Sharp County, and settled on a farm with but very little improvement, but since that time he has placed 145 acres under cultivation, owning altogether some 346 acres, besides a number of town lots in Hardy, and all the result of his own industry, business tact, and good management in farming and trading. He taught school for several years before and since the war, and, on the outbreak of hostilities between the North and South, he enlisted in Company G, of Col. Shaler's regiment, and seryed almost three years in the Confederate army, holding the rank of first lieutenant for two years. He fought in a number of battles in Missouri, Kansas, and portions of the Indian Territory, and was with Price on his raids through Missouri and Kansas. He was present during the surrender at Jacksonport, in 1865, and returned home after the war was over. In politics, Mr. Sims has always been a Democrat, and was appointed postmaster of Sullivan Springs for several years. He is a member of Evening Shade Lodge No. 143, A. F. & A. M., and, with his wife, has been a member of the Presbyterian Church for over thirty years. His grandfather, Swepson Sims, of North Carolina, resided in Rutherford County, Tenn., for about forty-five years, where he was a noted physician in his day. His father was Leonard Sims, a Scotchman, who settled in North Carolina at a very early period. William Beatty, the grandfather of Thomas C. Sims, was a native of Virginia, and died in Rutherford County, Tenn., where he had resided a great many years. Joseph Sims, the great uncle of Thomas C. Sims, first settled at Welchmere, now known as Lebanon, Tenn., and was the first man to cut down a tree in that place. Leonard H., the father of Thomas C. Sims, was a great hunter in his younger days, and a celebrated shot. His early experience with the Indians had given him a skill with the rifle that was marvelous, and to the present day many a tale may be heard of the great work done by him in the far West.

The father grew to manhood in his native state, and was there married to his first wife, who bore him four children. He then removed to Alabama and there married Miss Kinzie, with whom he returned to Georgia in 1834. He died in that State three years later. The mother then married again and died in Georgia, in 1855, at the age of fifty years. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Charles Brock, the eldest of the three brothers and sisters, attained his majority in the State of Georgia, receiving very little education aside from home study, and at the age of fourteen began working for himself. After a few years he learned the blacksmith trade, and in 1851 immigrated to Morgan County, Ill., where he remained three years. From there he went to Polk County, Mo., resided there several years and was then in New Madrid County for two years. In 1866 he came to Greene County, settled in Cache Township, improved a large tract, and moved to several places where he made many improvements. He was first married in Georgia to Miss Cynthia Walker, a [p.127] native of Kentucky, who died in Vernon County, Mo., in 1855, and the result of this union was three children, two now living: John R., and Martha, who is now the wife of Frank Grambling, and who resides in Boone County, Ark. The one deceased was named James. Mr. Brock was married the second time to Miss Elizabeth Walker, a native of Alabama. She died in 1876.

For his third wife Mr. Brock took Mrs. Luemma Israel, nee Cooper, in 1879. Three children were born to this marriage, Mary, and two deceased. The family are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and Mr. Brock is steward and trustee in the same at the present time. He has held the office of school director for many years, and is liberal and generous in his contributions to all meritorious enterprises. He is a Democrat in politics but is not an active partisan.

    3. I remember that my father was going on crutches and a stick the first I knew anything about him. He had rheumatism and was a cripple before the war The death certificate for my GGF Pleasant Alexander Beaty (b. 15 July 1852 - d. 11 Apr 1928) listed "Chronic Rheumatism" as a contributing factor to his death. Wonder if Rheumatoid Arthritis is an inherited condition in L2? Just a thought. Nel L2

    1. [BP2000] John M. Beatty, wife Susan, PA, Civil War

    3. John M. Beatty (#164,716), Company “H” 87 Pennsylvania Infantry, widow Susan (#780,536) In 1878 John M. Beatty, aged 35 years, of Oakland Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania applied for an Invalid Pension. He states that he enlisted on the 28th day of February 1865 in Company “H”, 87th Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers and was discharged at Washington D. C. on the 29th day of June 1865. He is 5 feet 10 œ inches high, fair complexion, dark hair, brown eyes. He states that he contracted chronic diarrhea “induced by hardship and exposure incident to the service…that he was suffering from said disease at time of his discharge, and has been afflicted with it ever since.” In 1879 John M. Beatty states that he was “about 23 years of age” when he enlisted “My father died in 1859, and my mother from that time up to my enlistment lived in Oakland Township Butler County, Pa on a small piece of land, containing about 27 acres. After my father’s death I remained with my mother until 1861 when I went to Pittsburgh Pa to learn trade of blacksmith –I first worked at blacksmithing with a man by name of Stacy on 4th St Road Pittsburgh Pa. about 5 weeks then with James Arthur –corner of 1st & Liberty Sts Pittsburgh Pa. at blacksmithing about nine months & then with Adam Betts at blacksmithing on Chartiers Creek Allegheny Co Pa about a year or maybe more –then came home and assisted my mother awhile on the farm –then went back to Pittsburgh and worked at helping blacksmiths on Water St Pittsburgh Pa. helping to make frames for hatches for gun-boats then building them –then worked on the gun boats striking on chisels and gouges with sledge & worked at this! may be a month. Then worked at East Brady Clarion Co Pa. on farm about 2 months –then came home helped on farm about one month—then went to New Castle Laurence Co Pa worked in rolling mill until date of enlistment in 1865—during all this time my health was good and was not afflicted with diarrhea. >From my discharge to the present I have lived in Oakland Township Butler Co. Pa and my occupation has been farming.” In July of 1898 John Beatty gives his wife’s name as Susan Whitmere (name when married Susan Hutchison) and states they were married on November 4th 1869. He was not previously married but Susan married William Prior who died in Andersonville and then married Thomas Hutchison who was killed by lightning in 1866. He states that he has 7 children (he does not name them all) and that the youngest was born Jan. 27, 1883 and his name is Frank Beatty. In 1912 John states that he was born in County Tyrone, Ireland in April 1842. “Came to Penna. when a child with parents –discharge erroneously states born in Penna.” In April of 1865 Susan Prior applied for pension as a widow of William Prior “who was a sergeant in Company “C” commanded by Capt. Timblin in the 11th Regiment Pa.” “She further declares that she was married to the said William Prior on the 7th day of April 1863.” Rev. Jacob Singer of Jefferson County, Ohio states that he married Susan Whitmire and William Prior at the home of John Whitmire. (This marriage certificate is in the file—it is very beautiful with colored images of flowers and a man and woman in a boat. The names of Susanna Whitmire and William Prior are barely visible because the ink has faded.) In 1914 Susan Beatty applies for “Widow’s Pension.” She says that John died at his home in Oakland Township, Butler, Penn. on February 23, 1914. “That prior to her marriage with the said John M. Beatty, to wit, on the sixth day of November A. D. 1866, she was married to one Thomas Hutchison, now deceased, he having been struck with lightning and instantly killed prior to her marriage with John M. Beatty.” George Beatty, M. D., of Millerstown Borough, Butler County states “that he attended John M. Beatty late of Oakland Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania during his last sickness, and that he knows the said John M. Beatty died on February 23, 1914.” Mary Rider of Concord Township, Butler County, Pa…”says that she is a sister of Susan Beatty, widow of the late John M. Beatty…she was at the home of her father, John Whitmire, deceased, in the fall of 1866, and saw her said sister, Susan Beatty, then Susan Prior, married to one Thomas Hutchison, now deceased…” Susan Beatty states in 1914 “her former husband Thomas Hutchison was buried by one Daniel Heck, now deceased, in the Rider Church Grave Yard in Butler County, Pennsylvania…” In a letter dated Sept. 5, 1914 Howard Painter, Attorney at Law, Butler County, PA. states: “we herein send you three affidavits as to the time of the marriage with her former husband Thomas Hutchison, who has been dead 46 or more years and hope this will be all you require in this matter. You now have 17 or more affidavits covering many times some of the requests you have asked for and some other facts you did not ask for, but if there is any thing more you must have, then we will try and get it as we want this old lady to get her pension sometime before she dies. You see it is some time since her marriage has taken place as she has children to her last husband, John M. Beatty, deceased, who are now near 46 years of age. Her husband was honorably discharged, was married to her many years prior to the year 1890, lived with and supported her from the day of his marriage to the time of his death which occurred February 23, 1914, all of which has been proved by affidavits se! nt you and we think under the laws and former cases such as this that we are now entitled to a pension dating from the time of her application.” 1880 Oakland, Butler County, PA page 378A John M.

    1. Re: [BP2000] William H. Beaty, Civil War TN mother Jane

    3. I made a big mistake on this one! Jane's son was William H. and he died at Andersonville. They had another son Thomas who died at home. My apologies to L2. Here is the corrected version--: William H. Beaty, Mother Jane Beaty, Civil War Pension, Tennessee (#115261) This is a very long complicated pension –I only copied a small portion of the file. At some point this pension was given to a special examiner and there is a great deal of testimony from many people living in Fentress County, Tennessee in this file. On December 3, 1867 Jane Beaty aged 62, a resident of Fentress County, Tennessee submitted a “Mother’s Application for Pension.” Jane’s son, William H. Beaty was a private in company “B” commanded by Captain Millsap in the 2nd Regiment of Tennessee Infantry Volunteers commanded by Colonel James Carter in “the war of 1861, ’62 etc.” William H. Beaty died while at Andersonville in the State of Georgia on or about the 24th day of April 1864. A letter from the Adjutant General’s Office states “Died at Andersonville Ga. April 24, 1864 of Chronic Dysentery; Prisoner of War, captured at Rogersville Tenn. Nov. 6, 1863.” Jane Beaty states her place of abode is “on wagon rode leading from James Town Fentress County Tenn. To Livingston Tennessee about 12 miles from Jamestown.” Pension is granted Jane and Thomas Beaty but is later revoked. A special examiner comes to Fentress County, Tennessee: “November 1, 1873: On reaching Fentress County, and the immediate neighborhood of the claimant I found an universal astonishment that she (Jane) should have ever put in a claim for a pension, on the ground of dependence on her son for support. The facts as elicited by my examination are briefly these. At the time of the enlistment of the soldier, Jane Beatty was living with her husband Thomas, who was then seized in fee of one of the best farms in that section, valued by the witnesses at from one to two thousand dollars; only one naming the minimum price and the balance the maximum. Her husband supported her, the farm yielding a handsome subsistence. This farm they continued in legal possession of until March 22, 1866, when the husband deeded the balance of his real estate to a son, named Hiram C. Beatty, but in the deed which is also herewith submitted, duly authenticated, reserved to himself as follows: “nevertheless I do hereby reserve the entire contract and support for myself and my wife Jane Beatty, reserving our life time.” This is verbatim from the deed and is “Bad English(?),” but doubtless the meaning of the conveyer was to reserve to himself the entire control of said farm for the support of himself ! and wife, during their lifetime. This construction of the document is strengthened by the fact that they do now live with said son and he supports them…” A large cast of Fentress characters appear as witnesses for and against Jane and Thomas Beaty. A few excerpts: J. H. Allred, ,merchant, Jamestown Tennessee—“..Thomas and Jane Beatty owned a good farm in this county; indeed he thinks there was but one better in said county; that said farm was worth at a small valuation two thousand dollars; was productive and well situated, and if rented out would have brought then or now more than enough to support the entire family..” (Oct. 1873) S. Borden, Clerk and Master of the Chancery Court: “That Thomas Beatty, husband of Jane Beatty and father of Wm H. Beatty was then and is now a cripple unable to perform manual labor to any great extent, yet nevertheless without labor of any kind on his part, his farm at that time, and up to the time he disposed of it in 1866 would have yielded him a handsome support.” (Oct. 1873) Jeremiah Wright: “he knows Thomas and Jane Beatty well also their son Wm. Hogan, having lived near them for some twenty years. Witness has also been sheriff of the county and is acquainted with the real estate of the county….He knows however that Thomas Beatty, his wife Jane (the pensioner) and their son Hiram now live together and eat at the same table; that said son Hiram now supports them, the old man being a cripple & the old lady an invalid…In the opinion of affiant Jane Beatty is not entitled to a pension nor has she ever been, on the ground of dependence on her son….witness is on good terms with the Beatty family.” (Oct. 1873) R. A. Winningham: “…also knew Wm Hagan Beatty, belonging to the same company and Regiment with him…Jane Beatty never was dependent on her son Wm H. for a support, but at all times she has been able to support herself from the proceeds of this farm, better than one half the people of the county.” (Oct. 1873) Copy of Deed from Thomas Beatty to Hiram C. Beatty is in the file and begins: I Thomas Beatty of the county of Fentress and State of Tennessee do out of love and mutual affection and other valuable considerations give grant and by these presents transfer and convey unto my son Hiram C. Beatty, his heirs and assigns forever the following (fold in paper obscures the next few words)—the deed is dated 1866 (Registered in Book K, on pages 84 & 85) Jane Beaty appeals the decision to revoke her pension in September of 1887: “Jane Beaty a resident of Little Crabb Tennessee age 87 years the mother of William H. Beaty…she was dropped from the Pension roles of the United States that she believes she was wrongfully dropped from said roles affiant states that she learned she was dropped because her husband Thomas Beaty deeded to H. C. Beaty her son the tract of land and he covenanted with the said H. C. Beaty that he was to take care of her husband and herself during their natural life affiant states that her husband was afflicted for 15 or 16 years so that he had to have attention all the time and that he was confined to his bed for about 10 years had to be lifted in and out of the bed all that time. Affiant states that her said son had so much trouble in taking care of his father my husband that he became involved so much that he had to mortgage said tract of land the expenses of his father being so much…” H. C. Beaty states “Thomas Beaty departed this life on the 1st day of January 1881 after remaining in a perfect state of helplessness for 15 years during the whole of this time he could not walk without help and there was ten years of this time that he was not out of his bed without being lifted by affiant or some one else and on account of this long continued sickness affiant had to be at home all the time or have some one there that could wait on him which came very near ruining affiant financially…” In 1889 Hiram C. Beaty states “Jane Beaty is my mother. I remember that my father was going on crutches and a stick the first I knew anything about him. He had rheumatism and was a cripple before the war…. While Thomas and William were living father conveyed this property to us jointly. Thomas died here at home and William died in the army. After their death the property was deeded to me…I had to attend to him so constantly that I could not properly attend to business affairs. I was so greatly fatigued that I could do but very little work. For some ten or fifteen years, father was so helpless he had to be lifted in and out of bed and I was the only one here to do the lifting. He was as helpless as a child and large sores came on him from lying in bed so long…” Elijah Garrett aged 42 years of Little Crabb Tennessee states “he lives less than one mile and has lived for more than three years that he that Hiram C. Beaty has not furnished Jane Beaty with a comfortable support during that time that she has not been furnished with food and clothing as she should have been.” R. A. Winningham states “Thomas Beaty sold off the best part of the farm and all the best part of the opened land to Robert King before he made the deed to H. C. Beaty. Affiant states that H. C. Beaty was just a boy when the deed was made to him affiant states that Thomas Beaty was in bad health for 15 or 16 years before his death and that about ten years of that time had to be lifted in and out of bed and had to be fed by some person affiant states that on account of said sickness H. C. Beaty had to wait on him and could not see after the farm and by that means got behind in financial matters so that he had to mortgage said farm.” Claborne Beaty age 43 years 2nd Lt of Capt David Beaty’s company of Independent Tennessee Scouts states: “Hiram C. Beaty has not furnished the claimant with a comfortable support…he does not live but about 6 miles from the claimant and has frequently visited the claimant and often been there and eat at the table and seen the claimant.” Laurel Baty, L252 > William H.
