Can anyone help Judy with this information? _____ From: Azrolly@aol.com [mailto:Azrolly@aol.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 10:50 PM To: jdbeaty@hotmail.com Subject: Hi Jack concerning Beaty genealogy I am looking for information on a Henry Beaty, and Lily Beaty was in the 1900 Ok Territory census with a Ellie Elder sister in law and a cousin Dent Garrett. I hope to get information on Ellie Elder and believe Lily wife of Henry is also an Elder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You . Contact Judy Knox at azrolly@aol.com P.S. I enjoyed your music on the Beaty site.

Two of the Beaty claims were disallowed and appealed to the House of Representatives. I am going to try and research these later this week. The claims were: Benjamin Batey, Rutherford County, Tennessee [L64]: there are two claims by Benjamin for Horses, mules, beeves, Bacon and produce ($4,919.00) and Horse, corn and fodder ($665.00) Robert Batey et al, Whitfield County, Georgia: There are 5 claim numbers for (1) horses, corn, lumber and brick ($1,378.50, of which $7771.15 was allowed) and (2) brick, lumber and pig iron ($8,999.94). I now need to check another microfilm series M2007, "U. S. Court of Claims Docket Cards for Congressional Case Files, ca. 1884-1943" and then try and see if the case files have survived. Laurel Baty, L252

Preston co., WVA is where L-3 Robert's line was. It is a burn county with no early deeds, marriages, probate, etc. before 1870's. I ordered this Land book thinking it was land entries. I was rather disappointed it was land taxes until I noticed the word "heirs" appearing and then crossed my fingers and got out my magnifying glass. L-3 Robert descendants check out 1832 and 1833. <grin> Donna L-3 Microfilm # 0556276 Preston co., WVA Land Book 1818-1837 The first three years are personal property tax schedules.

>From National Archives Publication M1407, "Barred & Disallowed Case Files of the Southern Claims Commision, 1871 - 1880" This is another barred claim--these are the easiest to find because they are in alphabetical order on the microfiche. The disallowed claims have to be located by office # and Report # which requires a separate index, each name must be looked up in the index and the office # and Report # located. Then, using these numbers and yet another index you can find the claim. Alexander Beatie, Washington Co. Arkansas--Barred Claim Fiche #4306 This is a short claim, basically a printed form was filled out. I will transcribe the first page of the form so that you get a feel for what is on the claim (putting hand written items in quotes): PETITION TO the HONORABLE COMMISSIONER of CLAIMS Under the Act of Congress of March 9, 1871, Washington, D. C. The Petition of "Alexander Beatie" respectfully represents: That he is citizen of the United States and reside at present [1] "Washington County Arkansas" That he has a claim against the United States for [2] "items taken in 1862" as follows: "Three head of horses worth the sum of $150.00 each---$450.00 Forty head of Hogs worth $15.00 per head---$600.00 1000 Bushels of Corn worth one dollar per Bushel ---$1000.00 Hay and oats to the amount of $200.00 -$200.00 Four head of Beef Cattle worth twenty Dollars per head---$80.00" Total Value of Property $2,330.00 That all the items in the above schedule were of the full value therein set forth and were your petitioner for the use of and were used by the United States army [4] "while staioned at Rheas Mill before Prairie Grove Battle was taken by order of Col Phillips the Commander of said Regiment in 1862." The form asks for names and residences of witnesses who will be relied upon to prove loyalty and Alexander lists the following (all of Rheas Mill, Ark.): Alvin Beatie, Frank Beatie, Samuel Beatie, Emly Beatie And, when asked for names who will be "relied upon to prove the other facts alleged in the foregoing petition" Alexander gives the following: Alvin Beatie; Frank Beatie member of Col M. La Rue Harrison; Samul Beatie member of Moonlights Regt Kansas Trops (sic). The form is 3 pages long and there are 2 more pages with misc. cards. The form is dated May 2, 1871 and signed Alexander Beatie (his mark) 1860 Washington County, Arkansas, Illinois township, p575 Beaty, Alexander 53, m, farmer born KY Emily 42, f, AL Samuel 18, m, Ark Francis 14, m, Ark Alvin 10, m, Ark Mary 8, f, Ark Alexander 5, m, Ark Catherine 1, f Ark 1870 Washington Co., Arkansas, Illinois Township, page 152A Beatie, Alexander 63, m, w, farmer born KY Emily 57 f, w, born TN Alvin 21, m, w Ark William 16, m, w Ark C. 11, f, w, Ark Collins, James 5, m, Ark Laurel Baty, L252

I thought that I had copied all of the TN War of 1812 Service records but in preparing this summary I see that I missed a few. I will finish up on my next trip to the Archives. For those of you not familiar with these records they consist of a series of Cards in a jacket envelope. The cards are approximately 3 inches wide and 7 inches long. Each card typically gives the soldiers name and unit and dates of service. Sometimes the distance traveled from the neighborhood of the unit to the place of "muster in" is shown as well as return distance from place of "muster out". Sometimes there will be additional information contained in the envelope with the cards; this is usually a Power of Attorney and will show the soldier's county of residence and signature. I thought I would summarize the cards that I copied and also offer to scan any record for anyone interested in a particular soldier. I am also almost finished copying the Kentucky cards and these are the only two states I plan to do at this time. DAVID BAITY 1 REG'T (WYNNE'S) W. TENNESSEE MILITIA. (2 cards, Corpl. in Capt.

Has the Beatty line from the Beatty family that Beattyville,Kentucky is named after taken the DNA test? Dinah L199

To all interested in Beatty history: It has been quite a while since I have issued a progress report to this list. The science behind our Y-chromosome tests has been advancing, our database has grown, and with it our ability to solve the Beatty puzzle has improved. The testing requires special skills and advanced equipment so it is necessary that a big organization do the actual work. We have chosen Family Tree DNA of Houston as our testing company. They contract the lab work to the University of Arizona in Tucson. FTDNA has become the premier company doing this kind of work and now has over 750 Surname Projects active. The test results for a single man are completely useless -- the value is in comparing with other men to get a clue as to how closely they are related. Comparing two men can be useful, but it is far better to be able look for patterns in the results for a large group of men with the same surname. We now have 32 test results (from 29 BP2000 lineages) in the Beatty database, and some significant conclusions have been reached. Four more Beatty samples are in the lab and several test kits are out but not yet received in Houston. All our tests so far are of the 25 marker variety. The data returned by the lab for each sample is a set of 25 numbers, which is referred to as the man's haplotype. FTDNA recently announced that they are prepared to do 37-marker tests, however our group does not have any of these results available yet. Our set of 32 test results are representative enough to lead to the conclusion that about 3 out of 4 men named Beatty are descendants of a man we call Adam, who lived in Scotland about 25 generations ago (500-700 years). The testees at present fall into 6 unrelated family groups, but five of them have very few members. There is good reason to believe that the Beatty surname was originally adopted in more than one place. It is now clear that these alternate origins have supplied much fewer modern Beattys than Adam. One simple way for a new family group to get started is for a man, unhappy with his life, to visit a cemetery, select a new name and move to a place where he is unknown. We have no information on how often this has happened, other than it didn't happen to the descendants of Adam. Some specific genealogical conclusions are: 1. A large fraction of Beatty men are male line descendants of the man called Adam. 2. As a result of some selective testing organized by Les Beaty, L-241, representatives of L-13, L-20, and L-241 are descendants of Francis Beaty who died in North Carolina in 1773. A result of this is that we have deduced the haplotype of Francis. 3. A representative of L-98 was found to exactly match Francis. This tends to confirm a conjecture that an L-98 ancestor, James, was a brother of Francis. James died in Pennsylvania in 1777. 4. Representatives of L-199 and L-351 (Group C) were found to be related to each other, but unrelated to any of the other men tested. 5. Representatives of L-2 and L-3 were found to be not only descendants of Adam, but also descendants of another more recent common ancestor. Statistically, there is a good chance that this most recent common ancestor is recent enough to be identified. More testing and research are needed. 6. We have Beattys with 8 different haplotypes slightly different (one mutation) from Adam. They are descendants of Adam but with a recognizably different haplotypes. This opens many possibilities for new testees to get hooked in the larger picture. 7. We have tested men with 6 different spellings of the surname, living in 3 different countries. We have found no way to relate either spelling or country to long-range ancestry. Tests have not been done on some of the more rare spellings. More detailed information, including the data tables, is available at our project web site www.BeattyDNA.org. You can join a special discussion list for this project by sending an e-mail to GenMatch-subscribe@yahoogroups.com . Valuable conclusions tend to pile up as the size of the database grows. Please consider organizing a test for a member of your lineage. The testee must be a male named Beatty, but others may do the organizing and pay for the test. While females can't take this test (because they have no Y-chromosome), a test of a brother is almost as good. We have several instances of a female sponsoring the test of a father, brother or cousin. It is quite reasonable for groups within a lineage to pool their resources and share the information. --Earl Beaty, L-13 Group Administrator Beatty Surname Project

I figured out the problem--although William died in 1834 his last pension payment was not collected until 1847--by which time his son had died.

I am confused--the last pension payment dated 1834 states that Maria is his only surviving child, yet you show Henry as dying in 1839 --something doesn't quite add up.

>From National Archives Publication "Old War Index to Pension Files, 1815 - 1926, T316", 7 rolls Beatty, John; Marine, Navy, Vincennes, 1830, File #111 I copied the original at the Archives (9 pages) and decided to transcribe the following letter, (there is no further information about John's family, Pension was granted at $4.00 per month): U. S. Ship Vincennes At sea, May 29, 1830 To the Honorable The Secretary of the Navy and Commissioner of the Navy Pension Fund, Washington Annexed is the Surgeon's statement of the case of John Beaty, (Marine) an Invalid. John Beaty, (private, Marine) lost his left leg (in the Northern part of the China Sea, on the 30th December, 1829) below the calf or above the ankle, by getting his foot, (which came in contact with the underside of the gangway ladder) entangled in the end of the maintopmast studding = sail = down = haul lying on deck, when aiding to take the sail in; owing to the halyards slipping off the belaying pin, and out of the hands of the men in the act of lowering. The wind blowing very fresh at the time, and the ship's velocity very great, the sail went by the run into the sea, and was lost; (as well as the gear and boon) and his foot carried overboard. I therefore add my recommendation to that of the Surgeon that he may be allowed a full Pension. Very Respectfully, I am. W. B. Finch Commander Laurel Baty, L252

Looking for the ancestry of Margaret Beatty born May 10, 1789 who married John DuVall, Jan 1814 in Chester County, PA. Secondary sources vary on her birthplace... more say VA but others including census data list MD..... By 1850, John and Margaret were in Lewistown, Fulton County, Illinois, where they lived until their deaths..... A couple of their children were born in VA....so their migration pattern is not clear...... thanks.... Ray L3/1
