Jeremiah Beatty, Civil War Pension filed by mother, Elizabeth (#248,485) and father William (# 341530) Elizabeth Beatty of Licking County, Ohio states that she is the mother of Jeremiah Beatty who was a member of Company “F” 135th regiment of Ohio National Guards Volunteer Infantry. Jeremiah was captured on or about the 3rd day of July 1864 at North Mountain Virginia “by the rebel army and was taken to Andersonville, Ga. and held as a prisoner of war until on or about the 25th of November 1864 when he was exchanged at Savannah Ga. And taken to Annapolis, Md. where he was kept for a while and then furloughed home, arriving some time in January 1865, with orders to go to Columbus Ohio to be discharged. That he came home with lung disease and chronic diarrhea and was not able to report to Columbus, but died April the 3rd 1865.” “That he left no wife or child and was a minor at the time of his decease.” On another form dated July 16, 1888 Elizabeth states “that her actual residence forty two years last past has been where she now resides in Fallsburgh Township, Licking County, Ohio…John Beatty her oldest son was borned Sept. 17, 1834 that he was home from the war permanently disabled in 1865 from gunshot wound secured at Chickamauga….She has one daughter who was single in 1865 but is now married. Her husband William Beatty was living in 1865 and is living yet…that this claimant was borned Dec. 7, 1803 (3 is backwards) and is now in her eighty third year. That William Beatty her husband was borned Nov. 10, 1809 that both of them are infirm and unable to support themselves by labor.” Jonathan Frampton, Licking County, Ohio states that he was captured with Jeremiah Beatty and “on or about the month of August 1864 said decedent was taken sick with chronic diarrhea that never got well, that during the month of September 1864 he began coughing and it grew constantly worse until his death…he died in consequence of his exposure at Andersonville.” Isaiah Anderson of Licking County, Ohio gives a similar account of the capture and imprisonment at Andersonville. Elizabeth Beatty died 27 January 1891 and William Beatty filed a pension claim. On Feb. 17, 1891 William states that he is eighty one years old. John Frey and David E. Mosholder state that William was married to Elizabeth on October 8, 1833 “as shown in the family record in the family Bible which we have this day examined: that the said soldier was borned on the 22nd day of January A. D. 1845 according to the same record in the family Bible…” This file has a letter from Jeremiah with an envelope stamped Annapolis Junction. The envelope also bears the pictures of Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson and the inscription “The Union is to be maintained at all hazards. Paramount authority of the Constitution and Laws. Suppression of the rebellion by force of arms, unconditional surrender the only terms.” [I will include a transcription of the letter below, maintaining the original spelling, punctuation etc.] Maryland Junction hosp November the 19th 1864 Dear father and mother I seat my self to let you now that I em here yet and till when I will get awa but think I will get to start home in about a weak or to I em getting better write soon and let me now how your getting along the doctor sed that he that that I cood go home in a few days it is so noysy I will stop writing direct >From your aft son J D Beatty William Beatty was dropped form the pension rolls on November 18, 1897 and was last paid to March 1897 “because of information from Postmaster that pensioner died date unknown.” Laurel Baty, L252

Laird Lanark Gazetteer, week of January 24th 1892. Death Record Mr. John Laird, a pioneer of Carroll County succumbs to the grip. The grip has added another victim to its already long list in the person of Mr. John Laird the aged father of the publisher of this paper, who passed peacefully away after a week's illness, on Thursday morning, January 21, 1892 at the age of 74 years, 7 months, and 21 days. BIOGRAPHICAL John Laird was born June 8, 1817, and was a native of Clark county Ohio. He was the seventh of eight children born to Joseph and Ellen Laird, who were born in Scotland and settled in this country (United States) shortly before the birth of the subject of this sketch. It was in 1838* that the pioneer Scotch family continued their westward journey settling in Freedom township, Carroll county. Here they suffered all the privations that fell to the lot of the early settler. Galena and Chicago were almost their only markets for years. Here Mr. Laird (John) helped to transform the wild prairie into productive farms. In 1842 he was married to Miss Elizabeth B. Beatty, who survived only six years. He continued to reside in Freedom township and in 1849 was again married, this time to Miss Christina Eshelman, who survives him. Mr. Laird was the father of eight children, four of whom, William R., Mary E., Sarah A., and Abram, have preceded their father to that other shore. Of the others, John E., Amelia and Joseph reside at home and James M. is married and lives at Superior, Nebraska. Though Mr. Laird was little known in public affairs, his integrity, honor and industry made for him an enviable reputation among his neighbors among whom he numbered many friends. He was a good financier and by industry and frugality amassed a competency with which to keep him and his good wife in their declining years. Although he was not a member of any religious organization until three years ago when he joined the Brethren church it would be difficult to say when he became a Christian as his whole life seemed to be ordered according to the Golden Rule. Though he took no active interest in politics he was a patriotic citizen and fulfilled his duty to the government by voting for what he believed to be her best interests. He was Republican in his principles and voted for William Henry Harrison in 1840 and Benjamin Harrison in 1888. In 1874 Mr. Laird retired from active work on the farm and moved to Lanark to enjoy the fruits of his early labors in peace and quietness. Here he led an uneventful but happy life. Eight years ago he became afflicted with what his physicians called rheumatism of the nerves and paralysis. At first only his right hand and arm were effected. In the course of years the disease spread to all parts of his system making him almost helpless. However he retained his mental vigor until the last few days of his fatal illness when at times his mind wandered. His appetite, too, was usually good and notwithstanding his almost helpless condition, but for an attack of the grip he might have enjoyed a much longer lease of life. During all those years of helplessness and suffering the deceased displayed rare patience and sweetness of temper and his wise counsel and genial presence will be sadly missed in the bereaved household. Seldom indeed does a father keep his children about him for so long a time as the deceased has kept some of his children. During all their life they were never separated more than a month at a time and these separations were of infrequent occurrence. Thus there was a bond grew up between them which was something more than the simple relationship of parent and child. And now that he has gone to his eternal rest a great prop has been removed and the loss is twofold, that of a comrade and friend and a parent. The funeral which was held Saturday, January 23rd at the family residence was conducted by Rev. David Rowland; assisted by Rev. Frank H. Gardner. A large number of the old friends and neighbors followed the mortal remains to their last resting place in Lanark's beautiful cemetery. *Note: All other sources say 1837. [Laird Family Tree 2000a.FTW] The 1850 census shows Mary E. (age 7) and William R. (age 4) living with John and Christina. These are children from John's marriage to Elizabeth Beatty. (Marriage information from the Illinois Statewide Marriage Register, 1763-1900, Page 24) The transcription letter written by Virginia D. Pierce to Julia A. Laird, dated Oct. 28, 1849, mentions that John Laird is married to a girl from Cherry Grove. It says, "She is a good girl. I think folks that know says she is good natured and will make a good wife and mother." John and Christina lived in Freedom Twp, near Lanark, Carroll County, IL in 1878. He came to Carroll County, IL in April of 1837 from Ohio with his parents. He was a farmer. He retired in 1874, sold the farm and the family moved to Lanark. He owned 950 acres. John E., Joseph and Amelia remained at home almost all of their lives to help their parents on the farm. LDS Tape #972750 The 1865 Federal Census, Carroll County, IL, Freedom Twp. lists John Laird as the head of the household. There is 1 male under age 10 (Joseph 1861), 1 female under age 10 (Amelia 1855) 2 males10-20 (John 1851, and James M. 1852), 1 male 20-30 (William R. 1846), 1 female 20-30 (Sarah Annie, born 1844), 1 male 40-50 (John, 1817, - son of Joseph), and 1 female 40-50 (Christiana Eshelman Laird 1820). Abraham died in 1860. According to the "History of Carroll Cty.", 1878, Mary E. died young. The 1865 census lists the value of livestock at $125.00, the value of grain at $1545, and the value of agricultural produce at $30.00. John retired from the farm in 1874 and moved to Lanark, Carroll Cty., IL. In 1884 he had a first stroke that affected his right hand and arm. During the next few years the disease spread to all parts of his system until he was almost helpless. In the obituary of John's son Joseph it says the farm was owned by Rev. Frank Sword in 1937. The death certificate says he died from La Grippe. He had complications from paralysis agitans for ten years, but the duration of the final sickness was one week. It appears he had a stroke in 1884 that left him paralyzed, then he had another stroke in 1892, and lingered one week before he died. The undertaker was William Strickler. His place of death was Rock Creek Twp. The obituary says the physicians called his sickness rheumatism of the nerves and paralysis. The death certificate lists his nationality and place of birth as Canadian, and Nova Scotia, but this is not accurate. It is, however, a clue about the family immigration, and migration to the United States. In my research I found that most of the Scottish immigrants in the early 1800's came through Nova Scotia and Canada to the United States. Perhaps this information was reported by someone who knew the family background, but did not know his actual birthplace. John is buried in the Lanark City Cemetery, Blk 8, Lot 47. He became a member of the Brethren Church just three years before his death. Christina was a charter member of the Brethren Church at Arnold's Grove (near Lanark). She is buried in the Lanark City Cemetery. Blk 8, Lot 47. There is an article about John Laird in the book, "Portrait and Biographical Album of Jo Daviess and Carroll counties, Illinois". This book contains full page portraits and biographical sketches of prominent and representative citizens of the counties. The book was published by Chapman Brothers, Chicago, IL, 1889. The biographical sketch of John Laird includes most of the information included in the preceding notes about him and the following facts: "He was at one time the owner of 1,000 acres of land. Of late years he made a specialty of livestock, realizing therefrom a handsome return. He has never identified himself with any religious organization but endeavors to follow precepts of the Golden Rule and confines himself to the principles of truth and honesty. He cast his first Presidential vote for William Henry Harrison in 1840, and as may be supposed, voted with equal enthusiasm for Benjamin, the grandson of the old hero, during the election of November 1888. His residence, which is finely - located in the west part of town, is a handsome brick sturcture, erected at a cost of several thousand dollars, and all his surrounding indicate the existence of cultivated tastes and ample means. He is one of those men to whom Carroll County is most largely indebted for the ambitious efforts which have culminated in its attaining to its present position among the other intelligent and well-to-do communities of this part of the Prairie State."

The 1865 census lists the value of livestock at $125.00, the valu e of grain at $1545, and the value of agricultural produce at $30.00. John retired from the farm in 1874 and moved to Lanark, Carroll Cty., IL. In 1884 he had a first stroke that affected his right hand and arm. During the next f ew years the disease spread to all parts of his system until he was almost he lpless. In the obituary of John's son Joseph it says the farm was owned by Re v. Frank Sword in 1937. The death certificate says he died from La Grippe. H e had complications from paralysis agitans for ten years, but the duration of the final sickness was one week. It appears he had a stroke in 1884 that lef t him paralyzed, then he had another stroke in 1892, and lingered one week before he died. The undertaker was William Strickler. His place of death was Rock Creek Twp. The obituary says the physicians called his sickness rheumati sm of the nerves and paralysis. The death certificate lists his nationality an d place of birth as Canadian, and Nova Scotia, but this is not accurate. It i s, however, a clue about the family immigration, and migration to the United States. In my research I found that most of the Scottish immigrants in the ea rly 1800's came through Nova Scotia and Canada to the United States. Perhaps this information was reported by someone who knew the family background, bu t did not know his actual birthplace. John is buried in the Lanark City Cemet ery, Blk 8, Lot 47. He became a member of the Brethren Church just three year s before his death. Christina was a charter member of the Brethren Church at A rnold's Grove (near Lanark). She is buried in the Lanark City Cemetery. Blk 8 , Lot 47. There is an article about John Laird in the book, "Portrait and Bi ographical Album of Jo Daviess and Carroll counties, Illinois". This book con tains full page portraits and biographical sketches of prominent and represen tative citizens of the counties. The book was published by Chapman Brothers, Chicago, IL, 1889. The biographical sketch of John Laird includes most of the information included in the preceding notes about him and the following fact s: "He was at one time the owner of 1,000 acres of land. Of late years he mad e a specialty of livestock, realizing therefrom a handsome return.

The inscription on the tombstone appears to read, " Laird, Mary E., daughter of J. and C.C. Laird, b. Sept. 11, 1843, d. Dec. 25, 1875." Mary is clearly listed in census records as the daughter of John and Elizabeth B.( Beatty) Laird. Her brother William R. wrote to his cousin, John W. P.

P. Laird. He says, "I will be 19 years old if I live to see the 25th day of February." He was farming in Lanark, Carroll Cty., IL in 1878. "History of Carroll Cty., 1878" (Call #977.39) Page 322, The History of Carroll County says he helped to found the Sunday School Association at Mt. Carroll, IL in 1876. Reverend Terrell was the head of the organization committee. The information about the children in the first marriage to Sarah Lattimore comes from Ancestry.com Worl Trees. Submitter: Laird@centurytel. net. Jessie is the second child for this mother. William is mentioned as alive in the Portrait and Biographical Album of JoDaviess and Carroll Counties, IL, published in 1889. His father's obituary in 1892 says he had died previously. There is some confusion about the names of the two wives: The birth certificate for Jessie Laird says her mother was Sarah Lattimore Woodside. This would mean the two wives are actually the same woman. Other documents show the two women as born in different years and in different locations. I have left the spouses as they are until I can acquire more accurate information. It is my opinion that the two women are the same person. 1880-Freedom, Carroll, Illinois Source: FHL Film 1254178 National Archives Film T9-0178 Page 505C Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace William LAIRD Self M M W 35 IL Occ: Farmer Fa: HALIFAX Mo: MD Sarah L.

Beaty, Ebenezer Beaty, William J. Beaty and the residence of Wm J. Beaty, Salem, Washington County, New York Samuel Beaty was born where he now resides, in the town of Salem, Washington, Co., N. Y., February 25, 1807. 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 never 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. They have three children, -- Agnes McCoy, Frank, and Fanny J. [If anyone would like a scan of the drawings that accompany this article, let me know.--Laurel Baty, L252]

Has the biography of Samuel Beaty of Washington Co NY been posted? I seem to remember someone sending a link. I found a nice biography of Samuel with sketches of three Beatys and a sketch of their farm (From the History of Washington Co., New York)--I will transcribe this if anyone is interested. It begins: Samuel Beaty was born where he now resides, in the town of Salem, Washington, Co., N. Y., February 25, 1807. 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, Smauel, and William, leaving one son John, who was married, in Ireland. [There is a pen and ink sketch of Samuel, Ebenezer and William J. Beaty plus a sketch of the residence of Wm. J. Beaty, Salem, Wasington Co., New York] Laurel Baty, L252

Oh, Dear Donna! My family has been trying to connect our James Lewis Beatty to a Lewis family for about 150 years! Since my lineage #39 is about to merge with lineage #134, you might suggest that Catherine Aber Lewis get in touch with Sue Knost, Julie Miller, or me. Sue and Julie and I have been burning up the E-waves in our attempt to get to know each other's families and to examine our own selves as to when we first knew a certain fact and what was our source! Yes, I kept this story and it jumped right out at me! I know, now, that it wasn't our James Lewis Beatty IV who was the oldest of seven sons, five having died in the Battle at Chattanooga, but I am thinking that maybe the Story or "Legend" was about their fathers, instead. It seems that that generation was in the Civil War, also, and many of the sons substituted for their brothers, their fathers, and their uncles, unless of course, the military just got terribly confused about all of the Beatty/Beaty/Batty/Batey/Baty/Betty men named: James, John, Robert, William, Samuel, Henry, Hiram, Lewis, Clinton, Perry, George, Edward Benjamin, Edwin, Jesse James, Oren, Orren, Orrin, and Hugh! In our family, we might have to stop calling our James, "James IV," or maybe we will one more James. The one thing that I have learned, recently, is that the given names and surnames of Lewis and Clinton did not start in this country, and they might not have started in the Beatty family. The oldest daughter of my James Lewis Beatty was married to a Clements, and the surname Lewis and the surname Clinton and the surname Martin go way back to the Scots-Irish in the Clements family, too! They began centuries ago in the Scots-Irish world! Lewis was Lewys and Clinton was probably Clynton at one time, whether they are English names or Scotch names, or Irish names. Our problem is that the long-lost father of my James Lewis Beatty--recorded as Beaty in his military files and his marriage record and born 02 May 1782, Massillon, Perry Twp., Stark Co., OH--was only one of four sons, unless we are going to find more brothers. James, Sr. 1. Hugh: Nothing known about him yet. 2. James, Jr.: was married twice and had 15-18 children; died 1849 James III (My James IV, but we will have to start referring to him as James III, unless we find another James as father of James, Sr. 3. John 4. Robert I do not feel qualified yet to give more facts and sources on our combined lineage, but Sue, Julie, and I are working on it stating our sources, concisely. I am hot-on-the-trail of a birth record for my James Lewis Beatty, so that I can prove, once and for all, how anyone got a middle name for him, because all records I am finding, now, have just his middle initial "L." Also, if we have a day, month, and year for his birth, then, someone got the exact date from some official source, and the same goes for his wife, Ann or Anna Maria Wilcox or Willcox.

A new BP2000 member. Does this James Beatty of Rev. War (Cumberland co., PA) sound familiar to anyone? Father killed by the Indians and he was a captive for 3 years. Donna L-3 ----------------------------------------- In all the research you've done, have you come across where this James Beatty was born or anything about his parentage? I suspect either Ireland or Scotland. His father was apparently here in America also because there is an excerpt in the "History of Allegheny County" stating that James was held prisoner for three years by Indians who had murdered his father. This information was provided by his granddaughter, Catherine Aber Lewis. Janet

Just a note on what I am doing—I copied some of the Civil War Pension index cards from microfilm at the National Archives. Some of these cards are almost illegible because they are so badly faded. I tried to copy parts of some of the pensions that had very legible index cards as a representative sampling of the information that can be found in a Civil War Pension. If anyone has a pension they would really like to have copied let me know—I can’t promise to copy the whole thing though! I ran across a pension this week that must have been over 400 pages long—contained in 2 file envelopes Austin Beaty Civil War Pension certificate # 143,568 There is a Certificate of Disability for Discharge in this file. It states that Austin Beaty was a private in Lt. R. M. Overhiser’s Company “H” of the 58th Regiment of Pen Volunteer Infantry. He enlisted at Waterford Pennsylvania on October 3, 1864. He was born in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, is twenty years old, 5 feet 91/2 inches high, fair complexion, gray eyes and sandy hair. “The said Austin Beaty a Private of Co H 58th Regt Inftry Pa Vols lost the fore finger on his right hand by the accidental discharge of his musket while on Picket on the 19th day of February 1865.” In 1872, James O. Beaty of Clearfield County, Pennsylvania states that he was a private in the late Civil War in the same unit as Austin Beaty and “on the night of the 19th of February AD 1865 Austin Beaty….was on Picket duty…the night was cold that he had on his great coat and carried his gun at a secure arms loaded that while running to keep warm he tripped and fell and the gun was discharged the ball passing through the right hand so injuring the forefinger that it had to be amputated close to the hand…” On a form stamped 1890 Austin gives his wife’s name as Rachel Young and date of marriage as Oct. 5, 1865. He lists his children as Clark Elsworth born July 11, 1866; Anasis Adella born July 20, 1873; Willis Emory born Oct. 10, 1874; John Edmison born Aug. 10, 1877 In 1905 John Beaty of Newtonburgh, Pennsylvania is a witness to Austin Beaty’s signature. In 1907 Austin Beaty of Mahaffey county of Clearfield, Pennsylvania aged 62 states that he was born Oct. 19, 1844 at Indiana County, Pennsylvania. Rachel Beaty applies for a pension upon the death of her husband. She is 69 and living in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania in April of 1912. She states that she married Austin Beaty in Horton, Pa, Indiana County on October 5, 1865. Belle and Sarah Davidson are witnesses to her signature. J. A. Balvin, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania states “he was well acquainted with the soldier and at his death on March 30 I was called to be the undertaker and he was buried on April 1, 1912 in the Mt. Carmel Cemetery.” Sabilla Parrish states “that she was well acquainted with the soldier, Austin Beaty, and his wife, Mrs. Rachel Beaty, whose maiden name was Rachel Young, from the time they were old enough to be married to each other in 1865, and she also knows that they lived together continuously and without divorce from the date of their marriage to the present time or date of his death March 30, 1912. I know the above by reason of having lived within one mile all my life, also Rachel Young lived with my mother before they were married and on the 5th day of October 1865 they started away together to get married and when they came home they went House Keeping at the same place he died. I was also at the soldiers Funeral and am sure it was the same man as above named, the marriage Certificate is not to be found, it was lost.” 1860 Clearfield, Bell Township, p731 Beatty, James 41 Christianna 41 Austin 15 Sarah 14 Huston 11 Foster 4 Henry Bigham 27 1870 Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, Bell Township, page 20a,b Beaty, Robert 34 m, w, PA [In the household of Eugene Miller] Beaty, Alexander 42 m, w, PA Beaty, Julia 23 Beaty, Elizabeth 3 Beaty, George 3/12 Beaty, James O. 51 Beaty, Christian 51 Beaty, David 21 Beaty, Hester 14 Beaty, Austin 25 Beaty, Rachel 26 Beaty, Clark E. 4 Beaty, Mary J. 2 Laurel Baty, L252

A copy of the application for his second marriage license is included in this file. It gives the name of his second wife as Annie L. Whitby and her age as 60, residence of Lorain, Ohio. Annie’s parents are shown as James & Eliza Parsons and Adelbert’s parents are shown as Robert & Margaret Beatty. It lists a divorce date for Annie—March 1909 on grounds of desertion. Two death certificates for Adelbert are in this file—one is for “Albert M. Beatty.” He died in Mineral, Louisa County, Virginia on May 23, 1926.
