Laurel, Doesn't the G.A.R. marker (#13) prove that James' father was in the Civil War, also? I just thought that the marker means that the person was a son of a Civil War Veteran.

For the gazillion or so of us looking at our early PA roots, the map progression on this page is great. http://www.negenealogy.com/pa/pa_maps/pa_cf.htm This beats shuffling a stack of paper any day.

I searched the BP2000 list and did not find these posted. From: "A Genealogical and Biographical History of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania" edited by D. Thomas Cushing, Clearfield page 358 JOHN B. BEATTY retired, post office Hoboken, was born in Allegheny county, Pa., in 1821. The original spelling of the family name was Beattie. Francis Beatty, the pioneer of the family, as early as 1808 left his native home in the eastern part of New York State, and came to Allegheny county. He was a farmer and purchased three hundred acres of land in Indiana township, where he remained until his death. He married a Miss Hall, a native of the state of New York, and they became the parents of four sons and three daughters. Of these Francis, Jr., was among the youngest. He was born in 1795 and at an early date learned the hatter's trade, which, however, he abandoned on account of ill health, and commenced farming. He married Sarah Black, of Scotch-Irish parentage, but a native of South Carolina, and five sons and four daughters were the result of this union, John B. being the eldest. Francis Beatty, Jr., died in 1871, aged seventy-six years, his wife in 1852, aged fifty-four years. John B. Beatty was educated at the common schools and has followed farming, but taught school in his younger days. He married in 1845, Sarah, daughter of Andrew and Mary (Stewart) Erwin and five children blessed their union, four yet living: Harry, at home; Minnie E. (Mrs. Graham), Ella E. (Mrs. Thursby) and May E. (Mrs. Dr. Kelley, of Wheeling, W. Va.). Mr. Beatty has taken an active part in the advancement of his township, and for twenty-five years was school director; during the war was enrolling officer, and took the census in his township in 1880. He is a member of the United Presbyterian Church, politically a republican. He owned one hundred and twenty-two acres of his grandfather's tract, the balance being purchased by the city and county of Allegheny. Page 443 ROBERT BEATTY, ESQ. The father of this gentleman, William Beatty, of Franklin county, Pa., was among the earliest land claimants of Patton township. In the border war with the French and Indian allies he commanded a company in Bouquet's division of Forbes' army, and accompanied the troops on the march through this region en route to Fort Duquesne, in the campaign of 1758. Being pleased with the country, he located a large tract of land in the vicinity of what is now Monroeville, also a similar tract in Westmoreland county. He never settled on the lands, but died in Franklin county at an advanced age, and his sons, Robert, Thomas and Samuel, subsequently removed thereon and there remained permanently. Robert, the subject of this sketch, was born in Conongochique valley, Franklin county, Pa., in 1769. After receiving a liberal education he adopted the vocation of civil engineer and surveyor. In 1798 he received a commission from Gov. Mifflin to survey unappropriated lands in the state, and was afterward frequently employed in surveying for the state. He finally resolved to enter a commercial life, and accordingly commenced business in Alexandria, Pa. He married Rebeckah, daughter of Eli Coulter, Esq. of Greensburg, Pa., and by her had fourteen children, all of whom attained to years of maturity. After his marriage he opened a general store in Greensburg, where he remained in business some years, when he disposed of it, and was again employed in surveying for the state. In 1804 he was appointed attorney and agent for the Holland Land company, which office he filled for some years. In the meantime he removed his family to Kittanning, Pa., where he invested in real estate, upon which much of the town is now located. At this place he erected a flouring mill and engaged in the milling business. In 1808 Gov. McKean appointed him justice of the peace for Kittanning, and commissioned him to survey and establish the boundary-lines of different counties in the state. He was a member of the militia at this time, attaining to the rank of major, and Gov. McKean appointed him an inspector of the militia. He removed to this county in 1812, where he resided permanently during the remainder of his life. President Madison appointed him collector of internal revenue for Allegheny county in 1813; in 1815-16 he was further engaged in surveying for the state. In 1819 Gov. Findlay appointed him justice of the peace for the district now composed of the townships of Patton and Plum, and he was the incumbent of that office until 1838; he was presiding justice for a long series of years. Surveyor Gen. Cochran appointed him surveyor of Allegheny county in 1821. In 1827 he was appointed agent for the state board of property, and afterward surveyor for the land department. In the meantime he conducted extensive farming operations for many years on the farm where he resided. Mr. Beatty was possessed of efficient business qualifications, and was a man of culture and literary tastes and an earnest, sincere Christian. In politics he was an adherent of the principles of the progressive party, and was well known in [here the page stops and I did not copy the next page---I will try to copy it next time if anyone is interested] Laurel Baty, L252

I noticed a lot of Stark County info flying over the list lately. Line #132 has a Stark County connection. My great-great-great-grandfather David BEATTY (s/o Samuel A. & Mary MOTT) b. abt 1849 in Armstrong County, PA?, d. 11 Dec 1921 in the Massillon State Hospital, Stark County, Ohio. He was married to Emily Jane BRUNER (d/o Samuel & Margaret STITT). ~~Bren "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result" -- Albert Einstein "A fool makes the same mistakes because he never learns from them; a smart man learns from his mistakes; but a wise man learns from the mistakes of others." -- (If someone hasn't said it already, then I just did). --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

>From "County of Williams Ohio, Historical and Biographical with an Outline Sketch of the Northwest Territory, of the State, and Miscellaneous Matters," Weston A. Goodspeed & Charles Blanchard; Chicago, F. A. Battey & Co. Publishers, 1882. Page 654: GEORGE BEATY is the son of James and Mary (Kahl) Beaty, of Irish and German extraction, and was born in Berks County, Penn., December 8, 1809. He came, with his parents, to Stark County, Ohio, in 1817, and remained with them until twenty-two years of age, and then engaged in alternately running a threshing machine and in lumbering. March 15, 1838, he married Mary Jane Wiser, who was born in Cumberland County, Penn., and came to Ohio, with her parents, about 1835. His mother, Mary Beaty, died about 1825, and his father, James Beaty, was thrown from a buggy and instantly killed, in 1849, while on his way to a camp-meeting near Massillon. He was a consistent member of the Disciples' Church. George Beatty came to this township and entered eighty acres of land on Section 10, in 1834, returned to Stark County, was married there in 1838, and came back to Brady, with his family, in 1845, and settled on his land. There were five sons and four daughters born to him; three of the boys died in infancy, and one -- Frank T., at the age of nineteen; the fifth -- M. T. Beaty, is now superintending the home farm. This son takes much interest in live stock, and is the owner of a Mambrino colt that promises to become a trotter of some note, and which he calls Red Cloud, Jr. The daughters are all married, excepting one. Mr. Beaty is a member of the Disciples' Church, and in politics he is a Republican. His maternal grandfather, George Kahl, was a soldier of the Revolution. Laurel Baty, L252

My ancestor, James Franklin Beatty, Line 6, died in Massillon, Stark Co, OH. Per his death certificate, he had lived there for 8 years. He died in 1916. His daughter, Alice Beatty Denoon may have lived in this area, too. My grandmother stated that he died in an Old Soldier's Home. (Note: Most in this line spell the name Beatty, but James military records are spelled Beatty.) I doubt that there is a relationship with the Henry Beatty being discussed, but James F. was a resident of Massillon. Karen

Thanks Donna. I had James and Penelope's cemetery record but not the other two Beattys. I wonder if they may tie in with James and Penelope, all being residents of the same county. James and Penelope were living with Sarah Cooper King in 1870 in Benton County Iowa. In 1880, Penelope is living with her daughter Jane Beatty Moor and husband Henderson Moor in Poweshiek, Iowa. So I'm assuming that both James and Penelope moved in with Jane sometime during the 1870's, as James is also buried in Poweshiek. Sarah Beatty Cooper Titus grave record is also listed: Name: Sarah Titus Birth Date: 1817 Death Date: 28 Nov. 1877 Cemetery: Alice Union Town: Palermo Relative: Wife of T.L. Grundy County Iowa Grave Records Sarah died only 3 weeks after her stepfather/uncle James Beatty. I've wondered whether the two deaths were tied somehow.

Hi Sarah, Yes, indeed. The Titus' migrated to Whiteside Illinois, then on to Iowa. Settling in Grundy County, Iowa. My great grandmother was the youngest child of Sarah Beatty Cooper and Thomas Titus. My G grandmother was adopted by her eldest half sister, Sarah Cooper, daughter of Sarah Beatty and Jacob Cooper. James and Penelope Beatty also migrated to Iowa at some point, and are found in 1870 living with Sarah Cooper and her husband John King. Although they are listed in the census records as James and Penelope Battie. It was their presence in Sarah King's household that gave my cousin and fellow researcher and I the original clue that led us to the Beatty branch of the family.

Julie, so Hiram was a son of John, and Henry (Bio below) was a son of James. I know from the Wood County Bio., that "The father of the subject" (John, because the subject was Hiram!) had a son Hiram and a son Henry. I don't even want to know if Hiram had a son Henry, and Henry had a son Hiram (grin!). Now, if we should suddenly find Hugh, then we are all going to be asking questions like: "Hugh's on first?"

Julie Miller has just given me the source of this biography of H. BEATTY, (Hiram BEATTY). While adding the title and publisher and date at the top, I noticed all of my late-night typos, so if anyone wants to keep this bio., use this one. E-mail has spoiled me, because it automatically does a spell check; whereas, when I type on a Word document, I have to remember to request a spell-check! Julie pointed out that the name "Battey" is one of the publishers' names! Lois Kortering, L-39 & L-134 History of STARK COUNTY, with an outline sketch of OHIO. Edited by William Henry Perrin CHIGAGO Baskin & Battey, Historical Publishers, 186 Dearborn Street 1881 CITY OF MASSILLON Page 659 H. BEATTY, coal business, Massillon; was born in Franklin Co., Penn., Dec. 16 1816, the fifth of a family of eight children, born to James and Mary (Kate) Beatty. James was born in the north of Ireland and settled in Baltimore, having four sons: James, John, Robert , and Hugh. The Beatty family came west in 1818, located in Kendal, but afterward moved across the river on to Judge Henry's farm, where they lived thirteen years, and then, moved to Lawrence Twp., where he had purchased land, and lived there until his death, which occurred in 1848; his wife died when our subject was small. They had a family of ten children, eight of whom grew to maturity: George, John, Hannah, James, Henry, Sarah, Jonathan, and Mary. Our subject had but poor school advantages, and remained at home until he was 21 years of age; he then learned the coopers' trade in Jackson Twp., at which he worked until 1850, running a shop of his own, when he went to California and worked at mining; returning in 1852, he engaged in the grocery and provision business, at which he continued twenty-seven years, retiring from the same in 1880. For several years past, Mr. Beatty has been engaged in the coal business. He was married in 1853 to Agnes Tinkler, born in England, and died in 1871, leaving three children: Harry T., Orrin C., and Mary E. He married, as his second wife, Jane Roberts, born in Indiana Co., Penn., whose parents were from England. He is a member of all the Masonic organizations, and has been interested in the political issues of the day, being a true Republican. This is Hiram Beatty, the same Beatty as in the Wood County, Ohio biography. A copy of the article was given to me by Gary S. Beatty here in Muskegon, Michigan in 1990. He obtained the pages of family history from his father, Alan S. Beatty. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lois" <lekort@comcast.net> To: <BP2000-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 23, 2004 2:06 AM Subject: [BP2000] Bio of Hiram Beatty, Wood County, OH > The H.

Curt, Before breakfast this morning I was studying the maps of Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Ohio in our huge Atlas. I always suspected but now I know that all three states have counties of the same name, and of course, they have cities and townships with the same name. I understood that, even before I got into our family history, I guess, because I am curious by nature! Lo and behold, there is a Louisville in Stark County, Ohio! Therefore, sometimes when we are reading old, old letters from relatives, and they mention a trip they took or mention a city, unless we understand exactly which state and which county they are referring to in the letter, it would be easy to misunderstand where those people were living way back then. The Kentucky map you sent the link for is really helpful, and I have a similar map for Ohio that I have studied many times. I think it is called Ross County, since Ross was the earliest, largest county at one time, covering almost the entire state. It is in my Favorites someplace, but I recently sorted my Favorites list into folders so that I can find them easily enough. All of you people who have been on the Internet more than the three short years that I have been, probably do not even need to keep Internet URLs, because they can find anything they need on the Internet.
