    3. I found a record for a John A. Baty who served in the Union Army from the state of Alabama. He served in "G" 1st Alabama Cav and filed a pension on his service from TX in 1897. I will probably copy this pension. I copied his service record yesterday and it has a few interesting facts: John A. Baty enlisted at Morresville, Alabama. He stated that he was born in Poland County, Georgia and that he was 18 years old. He enlisted in April 24, 1864. He was 5 feet 4 1/2 inches with a fair complexion, blue eyes and dark hair. He lists his occupation as farmer. In July 1864 a service card states "absent sick at Rome Georgia since July 8, 1864." Does anyone recognize this man? The only other Baty of any spelling listed as a Union soldier from Alabama was William T. Baty (also Batty & Battey) who served in "B" 1 Cav, Ala. He was born in Rome, Georgia. He enlisted at Decatur, Alabama in April of 1864. He states his residence as Morgan County, Alabama (home of L252). He was 5 feet 6 inches, his complexion fair and his eyes blue. He was captured March 10, 1865 at Solomon Grove, NC. I do not think he is related to L252. Laurel Baty, L252

    1. [BP2000] David A. Baty, CT, PA, NY
    2. Laurel Baty
    3. Indian Wars--this is a very interesting pension. It is the first one that I have seen that documents someone's birth using Census returns and is also the first pension of an African American soldier that I have seen. David A. Baty states in June of 1920 that he was born Feb. 2, 1858 in New Haven, Connecticut and is 62 years old. He is currently residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He states that he enlisted in October of 1888 as a private in Calvary Troop C 9th Cavalry and was discharged in May 1891 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He served in the campaign against the Sioux in South Dakota. He is 5 feet 5 inches tall, complexion colored, black eyes, black hair. His occupation was Porter and he has resided at 518 S. Juniper St., Philadelphia, PA since leaving the service. On another form David states he enlisted at Philadelphia, PA. In 1921 David states that he has no record of his birth from any Family Bible or record. He states "his parents (colored) died when he was about ten having removed New Haven Conn. where he was told he was born, to Brooklyn to Phila. His parents were John Lewis Baty and Eliza Jane "while he had several brothers and sisters, they are all dead and no reply comes from inquiry made to New Haven authorities of a record of his parents marriage." "When I was about Ten my parents moved from New Haven to Brooklyn N. Y. the last address I remember there was that we lived at No 12 Fleet Street. After my father died about -- some time 1869 or 1870, I was placed on a farm in the charge of Walter Howell at the PO address of Bellport, Brookhaven Township, Suffolk Co., NY where I remained there until about 1886, when I left there and came to Phila. In Phila. I lived until I enlisted in the Army. I always here lived at No. 518 S. Juniper St., and thousands know me as a man never charged with a crime." In another form: "I had a son, James Baty, who was a sergeant in Co. C. 368 Infantry, 92nd Division, USA who served in France in the late war....I performed my service in good faith when my country called. I have simply applied for that which my country volunteers to who served her. If I am to be rejected on some technicality or red-tape I have the consolation of believing that my country is sound even if her officials do not always measure up to duty. And, in conclusion, I affirm that I am son of J. L. Baty & E. J. Baty and brother to Garret S., John, Stephen, Elizabeth, Louisa, Ann, Bella, Sarah, and Rebecca Baty, all of whom are dead." there is a letter from the Bureau of Census to the Commissioners of Pensions stating: "the following information was secured from the Census return of 1860: 3rd Ward, New Haven City, New Haven County, Conn., enumerated August 17, 1860. Lewis Baty B, 65 [I add -born in MD, shoemaker] Jane B, 47 [Born NY] Garret B, 10 [Born NY] Sarah B, 9 [Born NY] Rebecca B, 7 [Born NY] David B, 4 [born Conn.] Louisa B, 20 "The schedules for New Haven, New Haven County, Conn.., as returned at the Census of 1870 and Brookhaven town, Suffolk County, New York, as enumerated at the Census of 1880, have been carefully examined but the name of David A. Baty was not found enumerated therein." In 1918 David states that his wife's name was Annie Fox and she is deceased. They were married Feb 28, 1894 in Phila. PA. He gives his children's names: Luella Fox Baty born Nov 28, 1894 James Arthur Baty born Aug 31, 1896 (over Sea Service) Lothrup Fox Baty born Sept. 8, 1899 (Deceased) David's pension was granted Oct. 12, 1921 and he was dropped due to his death Dec. 10, 1926. His last pension was for $20 paid Dec 4, 1926. Laurel Baty, L252

    1. [BP2000] William L. Beatty, NC, Mex War
    2. Laurel Baty
    3. Mexican War Pension In 1887 Rachel Beatty, a resident of Mt. Pleasant, Cabarrus County, N. C. states that she is the widow of William L. Beatty who was a private in Capt. Green W. Caldwell's company in the 3rd regiment of US Dragoons commanded by Col John F. Hoke. He enlisted at Charlotte, NC in April of 1847. She states that her maiden name was Rachel Cress and she was married March 22, 1853 at the home of Catherine Cress in NC. Her husband died Jan. 5, 1873. She is 53 and was born June 19, 1834 at Daniel Cress' husband of said Catherine Cress in NC. She is disabled by "Bleeding of the Lungs." She states "I and my husband Wm L. Beatty then living opposed the rebellion to its bitter end. My husband Wm L. Beatty kept out of the Confederate army by disability. A disease contracted in the Mexican war." She also states that since the death of her husband she has lived at the following places.."Catherine Cress my mother's until her death in the year 1877 and since her death up to the present time at Elias Cress my brother's both places in Cabarrus County, NC." In another form she states her husband was born in the County of Gaston, NC. After leaving the service her husband lived at Charlotte NC for 2 years, at Concord NC 1 year at Mt Pleasant for 1 year and at Salisbury for 5 years. Several people, Saml H. P. Murr, Abigail Faggart, Jane A. Barringer and Safia E. Walker give affidavits concerning the marriage of Rachel and William and William's death. A physician states "Applicant married at the age of nineteen and lived in wedlock for about twenty years and never had any children." There are two acts of Congress in this file granting "pensions and increase of pension to certain soldiers...and to widows.." that include the name of Rachel Beatty: S. 229 Rachel Beatty, of Mount Pleasant, N. C., is the widow of William L. Beatty who served in the Mexican war from April 13, 1847, to August 8, 1848, as a private in Company A, Third Regiment United States Dragoons. Soldier died January 5, 1873, and claimant, who was married to him March 22, 1853, is now receiving a pension of $8 per month under the provisions of the Mexican war service act of January 29, 1887. Mrs. Beatty was born June 19, 1834, and is consequently over 73 years of age. It appears from the papers on file in her case that she is in feeble health, being afflicted with a pulmonary disease, and that she has no resources or means of support except her small pension. There are many precedents for legislation in cases of this character and an increase of pension to $12 per month, as proposed in the bill is recommended. Rachel Beatty's pension was terminated upon her death Jan. 23, 1923. This file is 39 pages long. Laurel Baty, L252

A doctor, David B. Perry states that James is disabled "...He has been engaged in stock raising and about four years ago he was attacked and injured by a bull..." John C. Caldwell of Park, Territory of Montana states "I have known him seventeen or eighteen years..." A number of other neighbors and several doctors testify as to his disability and character.
