Here is his decision on the printed applications: "I need to make the printed price $45 for the total of all the applications. That would work out to $1.50 per application. So if someone only wants printed copy of SOME of the applications, they could pay $1.50 x the number that they want. This means I should probably publish a list of the names and states from which they served, so that people could choose. I will get this done right away and get back to you on it."

Just thought I would let everyone know that I signed up for both the CD and printed copy. On the sign-up form I suggest that you mention you want all of the Beatty/Beaty applications, as discussed with Beaty project via email, because the form is really designed for a single application. You can also just print out the form and send in a check. John Schunk of SK publications, is rethinking the cost of the printed copy (it seemed a little too good to be true)--so I will get back to you with an updated price. I sponsored a Census for Madison County, TN and was very happy with the images he produced. He later put out the same census in book form and I really like that --it is so easy to flip through and see everything.

Good news from From SK Publications--I over-estimated the cost! The CD will contain all of the Beaty/Beatty applications (it may be a 2CD set, same price of $10.00): >From SK Publications--"I count only 31 pension applications, according to the index. (There are some others which are only Bounty Land-Warrant entries, which usually consist of just a single page.) 30 pages is probably a little high for average number of pages. Average is probably closer to 20 pages. So the total number of pages might be only slightly more than half of what you've estimated. I would be glad to put up a sign-up sheet, and our charge would be $10 for a CD, or $20 for printed copy. Once there has been a total of $300 in orders, we will proceed with the project. How does that sound?If you want, you can go ahead and suggest that they fill out a credit card order at https://ssl5.pair.com/jschunk/genie/PensionOrder.html or they can send check to our mailing address. We won't cash any checks or process any credit cards until we have enough signed up -- at which time we will inform each person that the project is a "go," and accept their money at that point. The scanning should be completed in about 3 weeks after that point." Anyone who is interested please sign up at the link given and as soon as the total of the order reaches $300, he will begin processing. Laurel Baty, L252

I know Donna posted a Biography of this man but I found 2 more today that seem to give additional information--sorry if this a repeat. I will post one and if anyone wants the other let me know (it has pretty much the same information): >From "Portrait and Biographical Record of Stark County, Ohio," Chicago, Chapman Bros, 1892: pages 454-455 Dr. George Stewart Beatty, dentist, Canton, Ohio...[a long description of why it is important to go to the dentist..] is a native of the Empire State, born in Pennfield, Monroe County, September 30, 1818. His father, Benjamin Beatty, was a native of New Jersey, and was reared principally in New York State, where later in life he followed the occupation of farmer. His [Benjamin's] father, Isaac Beatty, was born in the Northern part of Ireland, but went from there to England, where he took passage for America. He was a Captain in the Revolutionary War and served faithfully from the beginning to the close. The father of our subject died when the latter was but twelve years of age. The mother was born at Kinderhook, N. Y., on the banks of the Mohawk River, and was a daughter of Jacob Vausburg, whose ancestors were from Holland. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Beatty married the second time, and received her final summons in Crawford County, Pa. Dr. George Stewart Beatty, the eldest of four children, a daughter and three sons, passed his youth in his native county and in addition to a common-school education attended Victor Academy. He remained in his native county until twenty-two years of age, and then commenced the study of dentistry at Meadville, Pa., with Dr. Atkinson, a noted physician and dentist. The Doctor commenced his practice at Meadville, and traveled at intervals for a number of years. In 1844, he came to Canton, opened an office and practiced until 1860, when he returned to New York, locating in Chautauqua County, where he remained four years. >From there he moved to Toledo, Ohio, and was engaged in the active practice of his profession for fourteen years, when he moved to Akron, this State. After practicing his profession there for five years, in May, 1885, he returned to Canton, where he purchased the fixtures of John Siddall, opened an office and continued his practice at the same stand. He is well provided with every new improved appliance for making the extraction of teeth as easy and painless an operation as possible; also preserves the natural teeth and makes to order artificial teeth. Dr. Beatty was first married to Miss Charlotte Whitney, of Silver Creek, N. Y., daughter of Capt. J. C. Whitney, and ten children were born to this union, five of whom attained maturity. They were as follows: William C., in the Cleveland & Canton Railroad Office; Bertha A., wife of Frank Bursherd, of Toledo, Ohio; Adda married A. H. Clark, now of Washington State; Mary, wife of Edward Reardon, now of Dallas, Tex., and Ella, wife of C. Snyder, of Toledo, Ohio. The Doctor's present wife was formerly Mrs. Jennie (Crockham) Tyron. No children have been born to this marriage. In politics, the Doctor is a Republican, and his first Presidential vote was cast for William H. Harrison and his last for Benjamin Harrison. Once more his vote will be cast for a Harrison this year, 1892. He resides at No. 209 West Seventh Street. Laurel Baty, L252

I thought I would update everyone of the status of this project. I was gone today (went to the DAR library) and had lots of email waiting for me when I got home. About 12 people have expressed interest so far. I have emailed SK publications and asked about having a Wait List generated like they do for scanning a particular Census. If they are willing to do this, then I will let everyone know. I think you fill out a form and once we reach the # of people we need for the price per person then he begins the project. That way you can pay him directly -- they usually charge 50% down for a single order but I am not sure how it works for an order paid by many people. Thanks everyone for such a great response, Laurel Baty, L252 Laurel Baty wrote: > I don't know how many of you are familiar with the Census images that > are available free on many USGenWeb pages.

I was adding census and info to L-142 and noticed this bio was L-142 but the other Samuel Beatty marrying Jane Boggs is not L-142. Does anyone recognize this Samuel Beatty of Allegheny co., PA married to Jane Boggs? Donna L-3 Armstrong County Genealogy Project Biography Board David C. Boggs Posted By: Shirley <Shir5842@aol.com> Date: May 17 2001 DAVID C. BOGGS, of South Buffalo township, ex-register and recorder, and one of the most popular democratic leaders of Armstrong county, is a son of David and Mary (McKee) Boggs, and was born in Plum township, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, December 6, 1824. The Boggs family is of Scotch-Irish descent, and Thomas Boggs, Sr. (grandfather), whose father, at an early day, left Scotland and settled in the town of Glassdrummond, in the county of Monaghan, Ireland, was born at Glassdrummond in 1722. He married Elizabeth Chambers, and their union was blessed with six sons and two daughters: William, Thomas, Elizabeth, John, Anne, James, David and Robert. Thomas Boggs, Sr., left Ireland in the year 1805, and settled in western Pennsylvania, near New Brighton, in Beaver county, where he lived and died. David C. Boggs' maternal grandfather, McKee, was among the very early settlers of western Pennsylvania and located in Allegheny county, where he lived in perilous times, surrounded by savage Indians, whose delight was murder and plunder. Their wicked assaults had to be met and repelled, which necessitated the continual use of the gun, so that it was his constant companion, his only sure protector and defence. His valuables he had often to bury in the ground to secure their safety, and carry his gun while at work, and always take it with him when hunting for his cows. David Boggs (father) was born in 1783, in Ireland, and came in 1799 to western Pennsylvania, where he settled in what is now Plum township, Allegheny county. He was one of the pioneers of that section, where he purchased two tracts of woodland near the site of Murraysville, and cleared out fine farms on them. In 1849 he sold his farms and removed to Apollo, where he died on November 3, 1856, when he was in the seventy-fourth year of his age. He was a Jeffersonian democrat, and for over thirty years filled the office of justice of the peace in Allegheny county. In early life he united with the Associate Presbyterian church, and was one of its most earnest as well as most useful members. In 1806 he married Mary McKee, daughter of Squire McKee, of near Murraysville, and they were graciously permitted to enjoy fifty years of wedded life together. Their union was blessed with thirteen children, nine sons and four daughters: Thomas, born in November, 1806; Eliza G., born in May, 1809, and married to David McKee, a farmer residing in Tuscarora Valley; Fannie M., born in September, 1811, the wife of Jacob Freetly, a prominent lawyer of Apollo; John, who was born in July, 1813, and married Ann Boggs, daughter of William Boggs and a native of Ireland; Anne, Jane G., born in October, 1815, and married to Samuel Beatty, a farmer of Allegheny county; Hon. Jackson, who was born April, 1818, and married Phebe J. Mosgrove, and who, from 1874 until his death in April, 1879, was judge of Armstrong county; Robert, who died in infancy; James, born in September, 1822, married Margaret A. Bailey, and is now practicing law in Clarion, Clarion county; David C. and a twin brother, which died in infancy; Cyrus, born in October, 1826, married Mary (Oswald) and is a lawyer; William, who died in infancy; and Lavina, born in September, 1830, and married to Henry Townsend, of South Bend, Armstrong county. David C. Boggs was reared on his father's farm and received a good common-school and busines education. He assisted his father in farming until he attained his majority, when he engaged in school-teaching, which he followed for nine years, five of them in one school district. In 1850 he embarked in the mercantile business at Worthington, but in two years disposed of his store to Peter Graff, with whom he was employed as a clerk for three years. In 1857 he was elected as register and recorder, and clerk of the Orphans' court of Armstrong county. He so well discharged the duties of these offices that in 1860 he was re-elected on the democratic ticket to the same offices by a majority of thrity-two, although Abraham Lincoln had a majority of twelve hundred in the county and Andrew G. Curtin ran nine hundred votes ahead of his democratic opponent. In 1864, upon retiring from the recorder's office, he engaged in the mercantile business at Kittanning, which he followed very successfully until 1866, when he purchased the Slate Lick farm, to which he removed his store. In 1870 he sold both store and farm to George B. Sloan and removed to near Clinton, Armstrong county, where he purchased one hundred and twenty acres of land, which he farmed for ten years and then disposed (1880) of it in order to purchased his present farm and "Bricker's Mill". He built a new mill, introduced the new process of making flour, and erected on his farm one of the finest residences to be found in South Buffalo township. Mr. Boggs, Joseph Britton and R. W. McKee, Esq., of Pittsburgh, were instrumental in securing the building of the Rough Run or Winfield Branch R. R. through South Buffalo township. This road is eight miles in length and runs from Monroe to Winfield. On February 16, 1847, he married Sarah Beatty, daughter of David Beatty, an extensive farmer and mill-owner of North Buffalo township. To their union have been born seven children, three sons and four daughters: Mary M., born August 27, 1848, and married to W. B. Mathews; S. Almeda, born May 24, 1851, the wife of Dr. A. D. Johnson, of Allegheny city; David born April 20, 1854 and died September 3, 1854; Jennie A., born April 22, 1856, and married Frank Dickie, who is in the livery business at East Liverpool, Ohio; William J., who was born Mrch 24, 1859 and married Annie B. Bricker, daughter of Harvey Bricker, of Slate Lick; George M., born February 11, 1862, and a carpenter by trade; and Emma B., born January 1, 1868, and married to W. B. Ewing. He was instrumental in having a post-office established at his place in December, 1890, and the post-office department honored him by naming it Boggsville. David C. Boggs is an uncompromising democrat, and on January 22, 1879, was appointed as bank assessor for the counties of Armstrong, Indiana, Clarion, Beaver, Butler and Lawrence. During the late civil war he was unable to leave his office and business, but he aided the Union cause both by money and influence. He raised, on the court-house, the first flag around which the Armstrong soldiers rallied for the defence of the Union. source: "Biographical And Historical Cyclopedia Of Indiana And Armstrong Counties, Pennsylvania"; Published By, John M.

This is great idea! We are pleased to contribute to this endeavor to further the BP200 Project. It is a small token of our appreciation of Laurel's generosity and efforts for our lineage. Laurel wanted no compensation for the copies of the Rev War Pension applications she copied and mailed to us. Jo

I would like contribute to this also Sarah Bettie

Laurel, I would be happy to contribute $30.00 toward this endeaver.

Great idea, Laurel.....count me in! Ray L3/1

I copied a War of 1812 service record of David Beatty who served as a Corpl in Weakley's Company, 2 Cocks TN Regt. at the Archives. This record had a Power of Attorney in it that showed David was a resident of Montgomery County TN in 1815. Anyone interested in this record let me know and I will send a scan. It also had an original discharge paper in the file. It shows he was promoted from Private to Corpl on 13 Nov. 1814. Laurel Baty, L252

I don't know how many of you are familiar with the Census images that are available free on many USGenWeb pages. One of the companies that scans microfilm of Census returns is now offering copies of Rev War Pensions. I inquired if it would be possible to scan all of the Beatty/ Beaty Rev War Pension applications and prepare them in a similar fashion as the Census so that they could be available on our BP2000. I was told that they could do this for 50 cents per page (I think there are around 40 applications and if we estimate 30 pages per application this turns out to be $600, a very rough estimate on my part). If there is anyone else interested in having these applications available on the page for easy access let me know--if we had 20 people contribute it would be $30 each. We also then would be given a CD with all of the applications to use on our own computer. So many of the applications are very difficult to read and expensive to copy that this seems like a worthwhile project to me. The link to the company offering the service is: http://www.SKcensus.com/revwarpensions.html If you send away to the National Archives for a copy of a pension I think it costs almost $30 and you are only given the "Selected Records" section of the microfilm. I have found the non selected records to be very informative. If you copy a Pension file at the Archives yourself it is 30 cents per page and an extremely frustrating experience on a crowded day since there are only 3 printers that copy on ledger size paper and you are limited to 3 copies when others are waiting which means it can take several hours to copy a single file.

In all the research that is going on now, has anyone found the name Stouffer (Stauffer) or Shuman contacted with their Beaty heritage? My grandmother was a Beaty, Margaret Elizabeth, born 1864 Charlotte, NC who married a Shuman who had very close ties with the Stauffer/Stouffer families. I've been told several of my Beaty kin married one or the other. Many thanks for your time and hopefully a reply from one of you. Happy New Year! Judi
