I have been mindful of this. Regretably, there are but 7 Beatty males from my Beatty line now. I have been trying to secure a testee and should be able to get at least one. Thanks also for the other info. I have examined and secured info from these sources. I do have a question: Somewhere on the Beatty DNA website it says that one can search the Beatty 2000 Proj lineages by county. I've never found a way to do that. What am I missing? Myles Johnson L 356

Hi Julie, That sounds very like one of my missing Beattys -- The family of James W. & Orrinda Beatty of Carroll Co. & Clarke co. They had three sons, as of 1870 (Carroll Co.): Albert H - b.1866 Harry H. - b. 1868 Vincent C.- b. 1870 I have not been able to find any later census record on any of these above, despite their less than common first names. Please tell me where you found your Harry. I'm just winding up a book on the American desc. of this Beatty family --- all the desc. of seven chn. --- and this is one of the few dead-ends with the Beatty surname. If anyone has a sighting of any of the above, please let me know.

Myles, Not sure that the Harry you found in 1930 Scott Co. IA. is the Same Harry S. Beatty, son of Swayne P. Beatty. The Harry in 1930 is b. 1876, KY. Harry S. Beatty is b. 1889, Iowa. I have been unable to find Harry S. Beatty in the 1930c. Julie

Myles, The information that I posted was from the S.S.D.I. I believe him to be the son of Swayne P. & Eudora B. Beatty. The family is listed on the 1910c. Scott Co. Davenport, IA. Harry is listed with middle initial S. They also lived in Washington Co., IA. Believe this may connect to L. 76 ? Julie L.39

Wondering if anybody has the following name in their lineage? HARRY BEATTY B. 7 MAY 1889, IOWA D. NOV. 1967, DAVENPORT, SCOTT CO., IA. Julie Miller, L.39

From: JI Logan [jlog@zetnet.co.uk] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 6:55 PM Subject: Beatty Lineage 161 Dear Mr Allen My grandfather was named after a John Beatty. In researching this person I came across your website. The information below relates to your lineage 161. 4. Antrim: Belfast - Gravestone Inscriptions, Balmoral Cemetery Friends' Burial Ground and Malone Presbyterian Church, 1833-1948. Balmoral Cemetery O.S. 64 Grid Ref. 305709 Beatty. This is placed here by Harriet, to the memory of her beloved husband John Beatty of 15 Brougham Street. Belfast, who died 17 Dec 1858 in the 60th year of his age, fully trusting to The finished work of his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, as his only ground of hope. The Above named Harriet Beatty, who died 10 Jan 1876. "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." John Beatty died intestate. My great-grandfather was one of the executors of Harriet's estate and we have in our possession a legal document executed in Brooklyn which shows that John Beatty had two brothers, Josias living in Dublin, and Robert deceased. At that time nine of Robert's children were still alive and in the document they revoked any claim to the estate of John Beatty. There is no doubt from their names (Margaret Eleanor Whittaker, Anne Catherine Drowne, Robert William Beatty, John Cuming Beatty, George Ryan Beatty, Fanny Louisa Beatty, Jane Almira Beatty, Emma Cornelia Beatty, and Bessy Glencairn Beatty) that this is the same family described in that part of Herbert Armstong Poole's history available at http://www.antonymaitland.com/hptext/hp0024.txt There is a detailed description of the Beatty and Armstrong family but I have excluded all except Robert's immediate family from the list below: 3/3. Catherine Louise Armstrong, born at Montrath, Ireland, May 13/1813 died at Brooklyn, N.Y., December 5/1891, buried in Green Wood Cemetery there. She married on May 21/1831, Robert Beatty, who died April 18/1850. In 1840 they lived in New York City. He left her $40,000 in securities to provide for her. Issue: - 4/1. Margaret Beatty, born about 1832, died December 25/1901. She married, 1st, about 1851, Mr. Whittaker: 2nd, Mr, Timpson, 4/2. Ann Catherine Beaty, born September 12/1833, died April 19/1850. She married on April 13/1852, Reverend Thomas Strafford Drowne, born July 9/1823, son of Henry B. and Julia (Strafford) Drowne. 4/3. Robert Beatty, died July 3/1901. He married Sarah Moore, who died March 9/1880, daughter of John T. Moore, 4/4. Jane Almira Beatty, born December 8/1836, died April 11/1918. She married Arthur Benson, born July 20/1836, died October 23/1911, (See Riker's History of Harlem for Benson ancestors). 4/5. John Cumming Beatty, born at St, Croix, B.W.I,, January 8/1838, died March 10/1922. He married on January 28/1868, Hettie Bull, born June 26/1846, died August 9/1906, only daughter of William Gedney and Maria Matilda (Chetwood) Bull. 4/6. Elizabeth Beatty, born at St. Croix, B.W.I, May 19/1839. She married Richard Jones Timpson, born 1841, died December 15/1900. He was a salesman for many years with Tiffany & Co., Union Square, New York City. They had several children: one daughter married and lived for a while in South Africa, and may possibly live in Ireland now. 4/7. Frances Beatty. She, too, married a Timpson: three sisters married three brothers. Frances and her husband lived in Ireland: was it Wexford? No children. 4/8. Catherine Beatty, born October 7/1841, died December 14/1848. 4/9. Emma Beatty, died May 24/1900. She married, 1st, a Mr. Hutchinson, son of Samuel Hutchinson: 2nd, on April 24/1877, William Johnson Hutchinson, brother of her first husband. 4/10. George Beatty, born February 10/1844, died March 10/1882. He never married. The John Cuming Beatty in this family is the same John Cuming Beatty in your lineage 161. The "Chester Beatty" in 161 was the famous Alfred Chester Beatty, the mining millionaire, who left a collection to Eire, while his son, also Alfred Chester Beatty, endowed the Chester Beatty Laboratories in London, part of the Institute of Cancer Research. The daughter of Alfred Chester Beatty, Junior, was Sarah Anne Chester Beatty, and she married, firstly, David Robin Francis Guy Greville, 8th Earl of Warwick. They were divorced in 1967. Her son, Guy David Greville, b. 30 Jun 1957, is the 9th Earl of Warwick, and her daughter is Lady Charlotte Anne Greville, b. 6 Jun 1958. If you had any information on Robert, John or Josias Beatty I would be very interested in receiving it. We do not know if we are related but there were other Beattys in Ballynure at that time and this is the part of County Antrim that we originally came from. Yours sincerely John Logan

Hi Leigh Ann, My daughter, Jenny, who lives in Reno NV sent me some info. on Beatty Nevada a few years ago. If I remember correctly an illiterate? Civil War veteran, Metuloius Beatty, who was in the area as a miner founded the town, married an Indian woman, and became postmaster!!. HIs stone house is still standing. That's about all I know about the town and its founder, but I hope it helps you.Good luck on your search.

Leigh, I am one of those persons Laurel mentioned who has a keen interest in North Carolina and a lot of information about many Beatty families who passed through that state in the 1700s and early 1800s. My ancestor died in Mecklenburg Co., NC in 1773. He was one of the first Beattys to move into the Catawba River country of NC in the mid 1750s. His name was Francis. Another early Beatty was John who Laurel referred to (Lineage 56). You face the prospect of being quickly overwhelmed with data. I am particularly interested in your documented ancestry. In other words, how far back is your ancestry documented and relatively firm (before it becomes conjecture)? Have you submitted a lineage to BP-2000? Final question (for now), do you have a living brother, father, uncle, etc. who would contribute a Y-DNA sample to our Beatty DNA Project? Les Beaty lbeaty@higherspeed.net

Hi Leigh Ann, Your Aunt sounds like a genealogist! On BP2000 we like to document everything we possibly can. What we usually do is start with the census, starting with the most recent one in 1930 and then working backwards. Most likely your Aunt has already done this, but you ought to try it for yourself. You probably know that all of the census has now been digitized and is available at most libraries via Ancestry.com and Heritagequest.com. If you would like help with this you can email me privately or on this list and I would be happy to do the census for you. As I said there are several North Carolina experts on this list--NC Beatty genealogy can be very tricky because there are a lot of Beattys who have the same names in early NC. After we do the census we like to fill in with wills, deeds, obituaries etc. Basically we keep documenting until we run out of sources. It is very interesting that you have an oral history that your family comes from Dumfriesshire--proving it is the tough part. I am sure we would all like to know more about your bibliography project and your family. We have a mailing list for our Beatty DNA project and if you are interested I can tell you how to join. This past summer a group of us went to Dumfries Scotland to search for the illusive Dumfries Beattie DNA--we now have several Scottish participants in our DNA project. There are pictures of our Dumfriesshire trip on our Genmatch page.

If I go to the lineage summaries I would quickly find my family in lineage 252--and I would now know that they lived in Morgan County, Alabama before they moved to Birmingham. Or, if you like, send out a little summary of what you are looking for and others on the list will help you find it.

To Leigh Ann (nd Laural who knows this; it is my write up/paper trail for the YDNA which I did some time ago), My Beatties with this spelling are also from Dumfriesshire if not Dumfries. Maybe mine are from Annan or Gretna or Middlebie or Canonbie or even Langholm. They were from 'Se Dumfries shire' as sos stated on my great great grandfather's tombstone. He came to NB Canada but his son, Peter, Randolph Beattie, Sr. moved to Emporium, PA (to the Endless Mountains of PA) in about 1862. Many Beatties from Kouchibouguac, NB, Canada where John Baytie went to from Se Dumfries shire in 1829, mostly his nephews, etc. joined Peter in Emporium and Cameron CO, PA. He is buried in Emporium as are some of his nephews. Don Beattie in Winthrop, ME. PS: This is a very helpful site; thanks all for making it possible some years if not a decade or more ago. **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

Hi Leigh Ann, Well you said the magic words "Dumfries Scotland"--I am curious how you know that you family came from there and how long ago that was. The Beatty DNA project suggests that the majority of Beattys have origins in Dumfries, Scotland and we are looking for people to join our DNA project who have known ties to the region (of course any one is welcome but we roll out the red carpet for Beatties from Dumfriesshire!) Our BP2000 lineage 56 has ties to Catawba Co., NC--does this look familiar? LINEAGE 56. John Beatty d-abt 1778 m-Elizabeth. 2G: Thomas (1731-1787) Tryon/Lincoln Co NC, Abel m-Mary, Mary m-Mathew Armstrong, Charles-will dated 1784, John 3G of Thomas-Margaret, William, John W. 1771-1850 Lincoln/Tyron NC now Gaston Co NC, Thomas, Mary, Jean, Elizabeth. 4G of William and Isabella McCorkle- Charles b-Catawba Co NC, Sarah "Viney", Betsy Selena. 4G of Thomas and Sarah Wheeler--Thomas (1802-1883), John, James, Alfred, Franklin, Edmond Edward, Asaline?. It sounds like you've done some work if you can trace your family to Scotland--I hope you join BP2000 and the DNA project! We have several people who know quie a bit about NC and I expect they will chime in soon.

Hi Leigh Ann, One great thing about this mailing list is that you can ask if anyone knows anything about the origin of your Beatty family and you may just get an answer! I think the best place to start on BP2000 is the Geographical index of lineages. Here is the link: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bp2000/Geography02.htm Just scroll through the list and look for the country or State that you know you family comes from. You will see a lot of lineages listed next to a city or place--just look up the summary of the lineage from the place that you are interested in--you may find your family is already represented on our webpage. Here is a link to the index of lineages http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bp2000/lineages.htm Using my own lineage as an example--I know my Baty grandparents lived in Birmingham, AL--if I search on the geographical index for Birmingham, AL I don't find any lineages listed--but there are 5 lineages known to come from the state of Alabama. If I go to the lineage summaries I would quickly find my family in lineage 252--and I would now know that they lived in Morgan County, Alabama before they moved to Birmingham. Or, if you like, send out a little summary of what you are looking for and others on the list will help you find it. And of course the most cutting edge way to do genealogy is by using a Y-DNA test--so if you have a male Beatty relative try and convince them to join our DNA project!

Hi Laurel. I am a student at Brevard College in Brevard, NC and I am in North Carolina History right now. Our teacher has assigned us to to an annotated bibliography on any topic we want and I decided to do Scots-Irish immigration to Catawba County since that is what I have been told that my family immigrated to. I called my aunt today and asked where we came from in Scotland and she said Dumfries. I went to the library in Brevard and I found two Beatty's that might be part of my family that were the first one's to move here. Once we got to Catawba County, we went off in several directions to Lincolnton, Gastonia, and Mecklenburg Counties. My aunt also informed me that she thinks that one of the brothers that came over here founded Beatty, Nevada but she was going to check on that information for me. If I can remember right, I think my aunt told me we came here from Dumphries in the 1700's. ----- Original Message ---- From: Laurel Baty <laurelbaty@comcast.net> To: bp2000@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2008 8:22:41 PM Subject: Re: [BP2000] What started this project?

Hi, I'm the mailing list administrator, This list was is a private mailing list started back in 1996 by Ray. Because he donated an amount of money his list was /is a closed list for Beatty researchers only. Here is what I have on my website about the Beatty Project 2000 or BP2000. The Beatty Project 2000 (BP-2000) was started in 1996 to gather information about the various Beatty families. A lot of work has already been done to document Beatty lineages. There are over 400 different lineages listed there. There is only one requirement, That when you share your Beatty lineage you don't share someone else's lineage and research. It is asked that you refer the person to the Beatty project or to the individual researching that particular lineage. All of us try to do some research to share for the project like Beatty extractions from the census or Documentation... Raymond C. Beaty, Ph.D. Founder, The Beatty Project 2000 NYC Lineage 1/3 and 34 Each of the over 400 Beatty lineages that we have in our master database have a number assigned. There are so many Beatty's with the same first names and with the vartions of spellings of the surname, it helps keep those of us using the information from getting them mixed up. You can go to the website http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bp2000/ and look at the lineage summaries (http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bp2000/lineages.htm). ~~~~~~**~~~~~~ WE also have the Beatty Y-DNA project See the URL included here: http://www.beattydna.org/ NeldaNelda Percival IBSSG Volunteer Administrator "Gilpin & Bonstein DNA Project websites - http://freepages.folklore.rootsweb.com/~bonsteinandgilpin/ ~~ LCG&DNARG: http://www.rootsweb.com/~molcgdrg/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Genealogy & DNA are like husband & wife: They work so much better when paired up properly..."
