Julie, Muscatine Island is a tract of land which lies between Muscatine Sough and the Mississippi River. Today, it appears to be just a part of the land mass along the river. But, 150 years ago, before the locks, dams, and levees were constructed along the river, Muscatine Slough was probably a part of the Mississippi River and defined Muscatine Island as an island. On USGS topo maps today, that area is still labeled "Muscatine Island" probably because that is how the area is referred to locally. Les Beaty, L-20

Donna, Why do they keep talking about an island? Neither Muscatine or Louisa Co.are Islands? Julie

He (Elisha) isn't a lineage -I am doing this from memory but think he daughtered/bachelored out. Collected info years ago so would have to check census. Check out L-275 on BP2000. A huge IA co. Tyrone Ireland lineage and add to that the old old Adam Beatty here in Muscatine co I have posted before had a grandson marries into L-275. Both groups are Tyrone & L-38 below. I will add another at the end. Adam's lineage marries into L-275 at the surname Lee.

My notes on Robert E. Beaty. It appears that he had a brother by the name of David. - RaNelle Parker L-405 and L-324 Robert E. Beaty b. 1789 TN or VA or Ireland d. Sept. 9, 1844 in Red River Co., TX. Birth place from different children in later census. Of course the census taker got the data from whomever was home and they did not always know the correct information. We believe it was probably VA as TN was not a state in 1789. His ancestors came from Ireland/Scotland I am sure as most Beaty came from there. TN at various times was a part of VA, GA and NC as well as a part of the old Cherokee Nation. REB or ancestors could have immigrated from Ireland, gone to VA and then when lands were ceded, lived in what becameTennessee. -------------------------------------- In "Yazoo County Mississippi Pioneers" by Betty C.

Page 612: Yazoo was established Jan 21, 1823, taken from Hinds, and at the time of its organization embraced a large area of territory of what is now Madison, Holmes, Washington & Issaquena Counties. The first county site was at Beattie's Bluff on the Big Black; It took its name from the owners of the land Robert and David Beattie. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Found by Micki and sent to me 4/8/07; >From Early History and Archeology of Yazoo County Early American Settlement The first county seat of Yazoo was at Beatty's Bluff, situated on the south bank of Big Black river in the northern part of what is now Madison county, about ten miles northwest of Canton, and about sixteen miles southeast of Benton and a few miles south of Redmondsville. Beatty's Bluff was situated at a point where a public road leading to Jackson crossed the Yazoo river. At one time it was a prominent point, being on the usual route to Canton and Jackson. The place was named after the early owners of the land, two Beatty brothers. It is now extinct. Its site was for a number of years part of a plantation and is now a canebrake and idle waste lands, and not a vestige of any of these old homes remain to mark the first county seat of Yazoo county. What is now Madison county was first settled and as the preponderance of population was near Beatty's Bluff it was selected as the courthouse town. The courthouse, county offices, stores and residences were all constructed of logs felled on or near the site of the place. The floors, doors and windows of the houses were of puncheons riven from logs. Saw mills, planks, shingles and window glass were then unknown in that section of country. _______________________________________ 1840 REB in Panola County, MS (per census) with no female the right age to be a wife but many children, 2 m. under 5; 2 m. 5-10; 1 m. 20-30; 1 m. 50-60; 3 f. 10-15 (1slave); and two doors away is Duncan C.

Beaty who emigrated to State of Texas as a married man in 1841 and remained from that date to date of his death as a citizen and performed all duties required of him as each and having never received a certificate for any land this is therefore his unconditional head right for the above quantity of land (640 acres). 9/28/1846 Signed by J.

Hi Michelle, Well, maybe you are lineage 180! All 12 volumes of the Crossle notebooks have been microfilmed by the Mormons and you can easily order a copy at your local Family History Center--if you have never used a Family History Center go to the following page--there is a link that allows you to find the nearest one to your home http://www.familysearch.org/ The microfilm #s are 596882 and 596883--it costs $5.50 to order 1 roll of film which you can view at your local Family History center. It also sounds like 1 volume of the manuscript is available at the Allen County Library in Indiana (see John's email). And of course they are all available at the Public record Office in Dublin, Ireland. My guess is that the Crossle notebooks would be very useful to you since he was very interested in the Cookstown area and undoubtedly would have copied records from your family even if they are not L180. Also the Family History Library in Salt Lake City has the Crossle notebooks on microfilm (they have all the Irish microfilm along with microfilm from all over the world).

Here is a bit more on them. I have more somewhere but it is probably in boxes I haven't unpacked since I moved. Donna L-3 PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL ALBUM OF LOUISA COUNTY, IOWA-1889 Elisha Beatty is a farmer residing on Muscatine Island, and was born in county Down, Ireland, in 1822. He was the second in a family of seven children born to John and Jane (Colvin) Beatty, who were natives of Ireland, where they resided until their death, which ocurred a number of years ago. The boyhood days of our subject were spent upon a farm and in attendance at the public schools of his native land. He served a five year apprenticeship as a pawnbroker, and then followed that occupation for six years afterward. His marriage with Eliza Jane Rosborough was celebrated in Ireland in 1847. She was a native of that country, and a daughter of James and Sarah (Dobbin) Rosborough, who emigrated to this country in 1850, settling in Muscatine, Iowa, where they lived until the time of their death, both of them dying a number of years ago, and were buried in the cemetery at Muscatine, Iowa. After his marriage Mr. Beatty resided in his native land until 1850 when he set sail for America, starting from Liverpool in the sailing vessel "Constellation,"and reaching the harbor of New York after a pleasant voyage of sixty days. He came directly to Iowa, settling in Muscatine, and the same year bought 102 acres of partly improved land. He immediately began its cultivation, and as time passed, by his economy and good management was enabled to add to his original purchase until he now owns 1,400 acres of grass, pasture and timberland. His life as a farmer has been very successful, and everything about his place denotes thrift and energy. Mr. Beatty takes an active interest in political affairs, and casts his vote with the Republican party. He has held the office of Assessor for nineteen years, and has been a school officer for twenty-five years. Mr. Beatty's fellow citizens showed their confidence in him during the war by electing him to seven public offices at one time, all of which he filled with the utmost fidelity. He also aided in the reorganization of the township about the year 1858. In 1852 the death of Mrs. Beatty occurred after a short illness. Three children were born of their union, two of whom are living; John C., who is still single, and James Q., who is married, and lives upon a farm near the old homestead. In 1861 Mr. Beatty was again married, the union being celebrated in Muscatine, and Mrs. Catherine Wamsley becoming his wife. She was the widow of Abraham Wamsley, and a daughter of Abbott and Edan (Carder) Carder, who were natives of Virginia. Mrs. Beatty came to Iowa in 1848 with her husband, and settled in Muscatine, where Mr. Wamsley followed blacksmithing. The city was then called Bloomington, and consisted of two or three small stores. By her first marriage she is the mother of five living children, and has laid three away to rest. In the year 1855 she first became acquainted with Mr. Beatty, but their marriage was not celebrated until 1861. They have no children, but for twenty-seven years they have trodden life's journey together, having mutual confidence, one in the other and enjoying each other's love. Mr. Beatty has lived to see almost the entire growth of Louisa County. There were but few other settlers on the island when he took up his residence there, and he is the only one of the pioneers who is still a resident. The island is very productive, the soil being a black, sandy loam, very rich, and especially adapted to the raising of melons and sweet potatoes. Mr. Beatty's residence is situated on the bank of the Mississippi River, in sight of Muscatine, which is only seven miles distant. He is a government lighthouse keeper, having three lights under his charge, one of which is situated on his land. A school-house is also situated near his home, and the district includes about ten sections, from which they draw public tax. Mr. Beatty is practically one of the self-made men of the county, having gained all he possesses by his untiring energy and zeal. He also takes an active interest in every enterprise for the good of the township and county in which he resides. Mrs. Beatty is a member of the Baptist Church, while Mr. Beatty is a member of the Methodist Protestant Church, and served as secretary of its Board of Trustees. The church is situated on the island in Muscatine County. A portrait of Mr. Beatty appears in connection with this sketch. JOHN C. BEATTY, a farmer and stock-raiser, residing on section 9, Port Louisa Township, , was born Jan. 10, 1848, in Ireland, and is a son of Elisha and Eliza J. (Rosborough) Beatty, who were also born in the Emerald Isle. When two years of age he came with his parents to America, and here was reared to farm life, receiving his education in the graded schools of Burlington, in whieh city he made his home with an aunt, and subsequently attended the academy at Grand View. After completing his education he engaged in teaching one winter on Muscatine Island, but that profession not being to his taste, he abandoned it, since which time he has engaged in farming and stock-raising. His fine farm comprises 200 acres of rich land, all highly cultivated, and his stock is of the best grades, including Durham cattle. Mr. Bealty is greatly interested in political affairs, votes with the Republican party, and at present is Justice of the Peace. He has also been Road Commissioner, and to all educational work he gives his support. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, near Fruitland, has served as its Steward, and is now President of the Board of Trustees. For many years he was the organist, and is now assistant organist, and holds the office of Superintendent of the Sabbath-school, and is a promoter of all church interests. JAMES Q. BEATTY, a prominent and progressive farmer residing on Muscatine Island, on section 9, Port Louisa Township, was born in Ireland in 1849, and is a son of Elisha and Eliza Jane (Rosborough) Beatty. He came to this country in infancy with his parents, who settled in Muscatine, but in 1852 the mother died,and after her death James went to live with an aunt in Burlington. He made that his home until about six years of age, when he returned to his father, and was reared upon a farm in Louisa County. He received a liberal education, attending the district schools during his earlier years, and then spent five years at the academy at Grand View. Completing his education, he engaged in farming during the summertime, but in the winters taught school very successfully in Louisa County for several years. On the 20th of December, 1883, Mr. Beatty was united in marriage with Alice B. Walton, who was born in Muscatine, and is a daughter of Josiah P. and Elizaheth (Barrows) Walton, her father being a native uf New Hampshire, and her mother of New York. He was an architect and builder, and also engaged in moving houses. Her parent both came to Muscatine County single, her mother there being employed as a school teacher. They became acquainted, after which she returned, to New York, where they were married, and afterward returned to Muscatine County, in 1857, where they yet reside. Mr. Walton is President of tbe Old Settler's Association, having held that position for many years; has been President of the Academy of Science, and has always taken an active interest in educational affairs. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, belonging to DeMolay Commandery, at Muscatine, being Generalissimo. Mrs. Beatty, wife of our subject, received her education, at Muscatine. being graduated from the High School in the class of '75, in which she delivered the valedictory address. After her graduation she engaged in teaching for about eight years in the vicinity of Muscatine, and also in the primary and intermediate grades of the city schools. During vacations she attended the Iowa State Agricultural College, situated at Ames, for the purpose of pursuing a course in natural history or entomology, making that her special study during several years attendance at that institution. In company with two sisters she has obtained one of the finest collections in the State. For some time she was the entomological editor of the Gazette, and has attended horticultural societies at different times, in which she has received prizes for essays. The home of our subject is situated about nine miles from Muscatine and four miles from Fruitland, and is a fine farm, comprising 200 acres of arable land in a good state, of cultivation. He and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which is situated on the island, and are earnest workers in its behalf, Mr. Beatty having been Superintendent of the Sabbath school. In his political sentiments he is a Republican, and at one time he was a stockholder in the Pioneer Oil Company, at Pueblo, Col., at which place he spent six months. We are pleased to record this sketch of one of Louisa County's prominent citizens and his estimable wife, who are held in high esteem by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. >From the "Old settler's Book" Muscatine County, Iowa. May 22, 1898 An Old Islander gone One of the early settlers of Muscatine Island, Elisha Beatty, after a long, industrious life, passed peacefully to rest Sunday evening at 10 o'clock, at his long-time home near the river, and seven miles south of this city, his death being due to a complication of troubles incident to advanced age. He owned 1400 acres of land, and three government lights were on his holdings, he acting as light tender for the stretch of shore that belonged to his domain. Being an old settler, his neighbors insisted upon his serving them in various local offices, he serving acceptably as assessor for nineteen years, and as school director for a quarter of a century. Though a firm believer in Calvinistic doctrines, he was an organizer of the Island M. E. church, while remaining a member of the Muscatine Presbyterian church. Elisha Beatty first saw the light of day in County Down, Ireland, August 21st. 1822 and until last winter was quite active for one in his 76th year. His boyhood was spent upon a farm and later he served a five years' apprenticeship to a pawnbroker, and followed that occupation for six years. Uniting in marriage with Miss Eliza Jane Rosborough in 1847, he left for this country three years later, settling near this city 48 years ago. His wife died in 1852, and he is survived by two sons, John C. and James Q., and a sister Mrs. Dodds, of Philadelphia. His departure is the going of a good citizen to the bourne unknown. The funeral is appointed to take place from the Island M. E. church this (Tuesday) morning at 10 o'clock. Interment in the city cemetery. ----- Original Message ----- From: <hathaway1016@comcast.net> To: <bp2000@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, November 12, 2007 12:58 PM Subject: Re: [BP2000] BP2000 Digest, Vol 2, Issue 291 Hello all, I am just curious if anyone knows which lineage Elisha Beatty belongs to?

Laurel, Ray, John, I think I've gotten in on this thread late, but, my Beattie's originated in Cookstown and near Sandholes. We've traced them back to the early 1800's. Their home (near Cookstown) was, and still is, called "Alder Lodge". They also had a home in Cookstown, on the main street in Oldtown, called Milburn Cottage or Milburn Place. We have visited there and have pictures of both homes still standing. We have William, James, Joseph, Robert, John, Sarah, Elizabeth Beattie; also Robson, Hockshaw, and Devlin surnames. The Crossle manuscript is very interesting. How would we go about getting access to a copy? Any help would be appreciated. Michelle

Laurel, Regarding Crossle's papers, the Allen County Public Library here in Fort Wayne, Indiana, (where I work) has his Beatty manuscript printed out into two volumes. There are many long, fold-out sheets and charts. I found notice of this Beatty manuscript in an old auction catalog years ago and tracked it down to the National Library of Ireland, which fortunately had purchased it at that auction. It was not filmed at the time, but I paid them to film it, thinking it would provide a breakthrough on my Lineage 24, which I had hoped (and still do) is linked to Lineage 8. Unfortunately, it failed to do that, but it still is a fantastic source of material. Crossle distilled a lot of his research in those pages. There are, in addition to this book, MORE Crossle papers on Beatty families. These are found in six boxes at the National Archives of Ireland on Bishop Street in Dublin. I went through all of them in the early 1990s in search of my Lineage 24, and I seem to recall that one whole box was devoted to the Cookstown family of Captain William. There may be items in those papers not included in his other Beatty volume, since these were his research notes. I seem to remember seeing extracts from the 1821 Irish census, which of course was lost in the 1922 fire, so these extracts are all that exists. Another source of Irish material on the Beattys are the so-called Swanzy papers, that are at the Public Record Office in Northern Ireland (PRONI). I have seen some of these papers, as he was a correspondent of Crossle, and some of his notes are also in the National Archives of Ireland. Crossle was the more extensive Beatty researcher of the two, but Swanzy is another name to keep in mind, if anyone is planning to go to Ireland to research. I hope this helps.

Crossle was very interested in Beatty families of Ireland and his notebooks contain many wills, deeds, Chancery records, census, Parish Registers, personal correspondence etc. I am trying to obtain a complete digital record of this notebook which is about 350 pages long and hope to index it and post to BP2000. This notebook is the easiest to read of the 12 notebooks and perhaps is Crossle's own transcription of some of his other notes. I will post a few more examples from this notebook in the weeks ahead.*Laurel Baty, L252 The Mid-Ulster Mail Cookstown, November 22, 1919 Captain William Beatty Dear Sir, It does not appear to be generally known that William Beatty, who was a Captain in the Garrison of Derry during the famous siege of 1689, appears to have been a native of Cookstown, and probably born there. History tells us that during the siege he "ever behaved himself with great integrity and valour," taking part in all important engagements, and also going out almost daily with small parties to harass the besiegers, until about a month before the end of the siege, having been attacked with a severe illness, he withdrew, under protection, to his home. Tradition says he had twelve sons, of whom the writer has found evidence of nine (if not another son, Charles) and three daughters. His father was William Beatty of Cookstown, who apparently died soon after October 1685(?), the date of his will, lodged in the diocese of Armagh (in which he mentions his two sisters, Nancy and Jennet, his three daughters Jennett, Mary and Margaret, and his son William.) Captain William Beat! ty's mo ther, Margaret Russell, also made her will, dated 8th July, 1689, proved in the diocese of Armagh, 20th March, 1690-91, in which she is described as of Cookstown, in the parish of Derriloran, Co., Tyrone, and she refers to William his(sic) her only son, recommending to him the care of her three daughters; and she desires to be buried in Londonderry; the inference being that she took refuge there with her sons during the Rebellion of 1688-9, and apparently died during that siege. Captain William Beatty figures in a lease of the tithes of the parish of Lissan, granted 22nd March, 1696-97, by Rev. Adam Usher, rector of the united parishes of Lissan and Dissartlin, to William Beatty, William Wylye, William Harknesse, Joseph Wright, John Crookes, James Harknesse, James Johnston, David Starrett, William Mills, and Henry Burnett, to hold during the incumbency of Adam Usher at 70 pounds rent. The lessees held the leave in trust for the rest of the parishioners of Lissan and paid their rent to Rev John Farquhar, curate of that parish. Owing to some quibble, Usher took the lease away from Beatty and the other lessees, and gave it to David Esqie and Mathew M'Lernan, upon which Beatty and his comrades instituted a lawsuit against Usher and Farquhar in June 1709, to recover the lease. This latter date (1709) is the last reference I have found of Captain Wm. Beatty being alive, but he probably lived much later and died in the neighborhood of Cookstown (? at Brackagh, in the parish of Lissan.) We certainly know that two of his sons held Revenue appointments, no doubt obtained by them in recognition of their father's service during the siege of Derry; and it is probable that some of his other sons obtained similar appointments, which would account for the scattering of his various sons. I do not know who his wife was, but she was probably a member of one of the well known families in the neighborhood of Cookstown; one of his sons was named Palmer, another Vincent, with which families she may have been related. Captain William Beatty left the following children--- James Beatty, sometime of Newry (his residence there probably due to an appointment under the Revenue, and later of Clones. His prerogative will is dated 19th February, 1780; proved 17th November 1784. he left a widow Margaret, but no children. William Beatty, also sometime of Newry, apparently as an officer of the Revenue. Before the date of his death (on 13th November, 1735) he had removed to Dublin, where he was cashier in the office of the Collector of the Customs. He left a widow, Mary, and at least two sons* Ven.

Anne Beatty, married a Mr. Oliver, probably the William Oliver, of Dublin, who goes bailsman in the administration of Captain Robert Beatty in 1776. Esther Beatty, married ___ Brown. Having thus given all I know about this family, can any of your readers kindly supplement this little sketch with any further information? No matter how small I shall be glad to have it. For instance*Who was the wife of Captain William Beatty, and is there any record or tradition in the neighborhood how long he lived? The only members of his family who appear to have continued to live at Cookstown are William Beatty(who tradition says was a brother of Archdeacon Robert Beatty sen.) and Ralph Beatty, who for some time lived at Brackagh, in the parish of Lissan, but subsequently removed to Ballymulderg. Some of the descendants must have continued to live in the neighborhood. Capt. William Beatty, who was so notable a figure in the history of his time, would surely have left some tradition or record of his residence, and his descendants in the neighborhood.

Crossle’s Genealogical Abstracts [FHL 596883, Volume “Beatty” , microfilm of original records at the Public Record Office, Dublin, compiled by Philip Crossle.] Here are more notes from Crossle’s “Beatty” notebook dealing with BP2000 lineage 180. There is quite a lot of correspondence and documents dealings with this family in Crossle’s notebooks. As you will see if you look at the census, many other Beattys are mentioned that are not part of this family. This is also true in the parish registers, census, wills and other lists of Beattys that Crossle transcribes. His notebooks are truly a treasure trove of Irish Beatty records. He is especially interested in the family of Admiral David Beatty and tries to link it to our BP2000 lineage 8 but states in correspondence that he was not able to do so. However he records many, many early Beatty records from all over Ireland in his quest to link the 2 families. -- Laurel Baty, L252 Unnumbered page Memorandum of James Beatty for his eldest son William Henry Beatty “I was born on the 10th May 1792 the youngest of five of a family, Jane, Isabella, Joseph and William. My father William Beatty of the ancient family of Beattye (sic) of Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, Ireland, whose noble ancestor and great grandfather Capt. Wm. Beatty for whom you are called, fought at the glorious Siege of Derry in defense of the Protestant faith, whose name mentioned in Derrians as having distinguished himself as a gallant soldier at the Siege of that City. My mother was of a respectable and ancient family; and sister to Wm. Creighton’s father. My father died I think about the year 1805.” * Wm Creighton came to Canada I know him very well. So did Joseph Beatty above named. Jane died unmarried. Isabella’s ??at least, I know. James Beatty came to Toronto Canada in 1839. He died in 1861. He was intended to have been educated as a Surgeon and “to go to sea” but when his father died he had to give up that and ?? to a mercantile career.

There was in the 16th Century a small Border Clan in Kirkcudbright, known as the Clan Baty, with several variations of that name, whose locus is perhaps marked by the Village of Dalbeattie situate on the line of railway running in land from Stranraer(??).

Ralph Beatty, formerly of Brackagh, in the parish of Lissan, but removed to Ballymulderg, in the parish of Ardran Co. Derry; was deceased before June 1766 and left issue at least four children— Thomas Beatty, of Ballymulderg, living there, May, 1775 John Beatty, of same place, in June, 1766 Captain Robert Beatty, of Liverpool; administration of his goods granted in diocese of Armagh, 1st May, 1775, to his brother Thomas. He was probably a sea-going captain. Martha Beatty, living at Ballymulderg, in June 1766. Charles Beatty was probably another son of Captain Wm. Beatty, as he had dealings with the heirs of William Beatty, of Dublin, deceased, in 1740. Margaret Beatty, married ___ Clendinnig. Anne Beatty, married a Mr. Oliver, probably the William Oliver, of Dublin, who goes bailsman in the administration of Captain Robert Beatty in 1776. Esther Beatty, married ___ Brown. Having thus given all I know about this family, can any of your readers kindly supplement this little sketch with any further information? No matter how small I shall be glad to have it. For instance—Who was the wife of Captain William Beatty, and is there any record or tradition in the neighborhood how long he lived? The only members of his family who appear to have continued to live at Cookstown are William Beatty(who tradition says was a brother of Archdeacon Robert Beatty sen.) and Ralph Beatty, who for some time lived at Brackagh, in the parish of Lissan, but subsequently removed to Ballymulderg. Some of the descendants must have continued to live in the neighborhood. Capt. William Beatty, who was so notable a figure in the history of his time, would surely have left some tradition or record of his residence, and his descendants in the neighborhood. If any of your readers can give me further information, I will be much obliged. Believe me yours faithfully, Phillip Crossle 47 Upper Beechwood Avenue Ranelagh, Dublin Marginal note: Belfast Newsletter 12 Feb. 1774—“Died, near Dungannon Mr. William Beatty, aged 103. He signalized himself at the memorable battles of the Boyne and Aughrin in the year 1690, when he carried a pair of colors.” There are several long replies to this article with additions and corrections—I will save for another time.—Laurel Baty, L252

This is a bit of an update for L-461. From Laurel's CW pension posting we know Wm's son Simon was born 1842 in Somerset co., PA. Doing the census it shows Wm.s father "might" be David. Looking at the will of John Beatty in Somerset co., PA. David is mentioned as having a son Wm and David's parents are Abraham and Eleanor. It is very possible Abraham and Eleanor are L-104 of Chester co., PA. It would be exciting to be able to prove some more descendants of L-104. It may prove to be a very large lineage. Possibly the deeds of Somerset co., PA will prove this one way or another. Donna L-3 Civil War Pension: On September 26, 1925 Simon B. Beaty, aged 83 and a resident of Warren County, Iowa, filed a Claim for pension under the Act of May 1, 1920. He states that he was born "June 3, 1842 at Sommersett (sic) County, Pennsylvania."

Karen, the numbers are probably reference page numbers to the 1893 Year book. Here is another Capt. Beaty that led a company, this one at Kings Mountain. He could have been ordered to the Cowpens also, I guess. Thanks for helping out, Armond Beaty L-32 Beaty's Company Andrew Beaty served in the Revolutionary War. He fought in the battle of King's Mountain and other batttles. Andrew was about 35 years old and he lived in Sullivan County at this time. Relationship to Rob Beaty.

Perhaps someone can enlighten me. Are these three quotes from different sources referring to the same Beaty? If not, who were the other Beatys? <<Capt. David Beatie's Virginia Company>> <<a small party of Georgians under Maj. Beaty>> <<Beaty commanded a company of South Carolina militia>> Les Beaty, L-20

Correction: Capt David Beatie's VA Company refers to David Beatie of L4.
