Hello Marlene and Donna and others interested in L9, I went to the Saline Co., Missouri, courthouse and library last week. There are so many Beaty/Beatty/Beattie/Batey families there, it is amazing. The older deeds were in books which they said they wouldn't photocopy because they were too fragile. They weren't, but they were way upstairs inside the vault, and would have been demons to carry down the shaky, narrow steps. I copied until I couldn't haul the books down from the shelves anymore. Donna, you are quite right in believing that the Andrew Beaty in Saline Co. was not L9. The earliest record I found for this Andrew Beaty was in Book G, Page 143-145, a mortgage: 11 October 1836 Andrew Beaty and wife Julia ann Baty (sic) of Saline Co., party of the first part, and George W. Martin of Rives Co., party of the second part. For $2050, the W1/2 NW1/4 of Section 19, Township 50, Range 20 and the E1/2 NE1/4 of Section 24, Township 50, Range 20. Also one Negro girl Maria age about 12, five head of horses, one yoke of oxen, five cows, two calves, two steers, three yearlings and all my farming tools and atencials (utensils), one unfinished wagon and one other wagon. Said George W. Martin holds a certain note of hand on the said Andrew Baty (sic) bears date the first day of April 1832 and payable two years after date with 10 percent from date until paid. Note was extended until 11th day of October 1841. Signed by Andrew Baty and Julia Ann Baty I did not find whether it was ever paid off or not. Rives Co. was what later became Henry and several other counties. Here are some more Beaty transactions: 1. Book G, Page 263, 4 February 1837 between John Switzler and Maria Switzler, his wife, to David Baty for $120 to be paid to Baty. SW1/4 SE1/4 S6 T50N R20. 41.6 A. Book G, Page 398-399, 4 February 1838 above recorded as paid in full. 2. Book G, Page 266. 22 March 1837 William Lankford and James G. Beatie, both of Saline Co. $360 paid by Lankford for NE1/4 NW1/4 NE1/4 S2 T49 R23 and NE1/4 SE1/4 S30. 3.

Signed William Beaty and Lucinda Beaty 4. Book G, Page 471 14 May 1838, Plat of City of Brownsville (now Sweet Springs). Andrew Beaty listed as lot owner. 5.

Signed by Robert Beaty and Elizabeth Beaty 6. Book H, Page 473-474 27 December 1840 Garret Langford and Andrew Beaty and Trustee Henry Kister. (This may have been the payoff of the earlier mortgage.) 7. Book H, Page 500 11 December 1840 Commissioner of the County Cornelius Davis sells to David Beaty Lots 45 and 45 in Block 23, and Lots 2 and 3 in Block 34 in the City of Marshall for $47.50. 8. Book H., Page 541 19 March 1841 Aaron D. Lawton and Eunice Lawton, his wife, sell to Andrew Beaty for $30, land in S25 T50, R21 10 A. 9. Book K, Page 220 30 July 1844 David Beaty and Neomy Beaty, his wife, sell to William Hook for $310 SW1/4 SW1/4 S7 T50 R20 - 42 A. and 20 A. on the west side of NW1/4 SW1/4 S7 T50 R20 Signed by David Beaty and Neoma Beaty (by mark) This is part of the land purchased by David Beaty in No. 1 above. 10. Book K, Page 456-457 29 February 1814 James G. Beatie and Elizabeth Beatie, his wife sell to William G. Miller for $280 W1/2 NE1/4 S2 T49 R23 Signed by James G. Beatie and Elizabeth Beatie 11. Book L, Page 139 19 March 1846 Christopher and Lucy Freeman sell to Joseph W. Beaty for $80 40 A. 12. Book L, Page 332 and 334 (page 333 is empty) 17 August 1846 Joseph W. Beaty and Emaline Beaty, his wife sell to Robert Field, trustee for E. D. Sappington for $40. This is a mortgage. Beaty owed Sappington $50. Signed by Joseph W. Beaty and Emmaline Beaty. (I forgot to write down the property description.) 13. Book P, Page 38-39 11 April 1849 (Page 38) Amanda Beatie owned 1/2 of M. R. Beatie's land and sold it to Gilmore Hays for $75. (Page 39) 28 May 1850 Armstrong Beattie and Eliza Jane, his wife; David F. Middleton and Elizabeth Y. Middleton, his wife; Melinda A. Weakley; James B. Gaines and Henrietta F. Gaines, his wife; Jacob Smith and Margaret J. Smith, his wife. All were heirs at law of M. R. Beattie, deceased. Each owned 1/5 of 1/5 of the land of M. R. Beatie, and they sold their shares to Gilmore Hays for a total of $152.35. Armstrong Beattie was attorney in fact for all heirs. Land was described as W1/2 SW1/4 S10 T48 R23 and contained 80 A. There were many more transactions by Beatys all the way up into the 1900s. I didn't even get into the numbered books. Three early marriages shown: John Baty and Tirenna Sandridge 10 December 1837 Book A, Page 13, by Henry J. Weeden MG. Samuel Bridgewater and Rachel Beaty 6 December 1830, Book A-E-F, Page 74 Allord (or Alford) Amic and Jane Beaty 24 October 1839, Book A, Page 25. I found some FGS at the Marshall Library. There is one for James G. Beattie, with references cited, that shows the following: James G. Beattie was born 29 January 1790 in Washington Co., Virginia, and died 28 February 1874 in Elmwood Twp., Saline co., Missouri. He is buried at the Poe Cemetery in Saline Co. He was in the War of 1812. His wife is shown as Elizabeth (no maiden name shown), born 25 December 1795 in Kentucky and died in August 1867. Also buried at Poe Cemetery. Their children were: Melinda who married William Pemberton and died before 1874; Mary Etta, who died before 1874; Elizabeth B. (b. 1822 in Kentucky) md. Thomas M. Dysart; William L. (b. 12 Oct 1823 in Kentucky, died 12 Dec 1890, buried Fairview Cem., Sweet Springs, MO) md. Elizabeth B. Hoffman; Samuel H. (b. 1828 in Kentucky) md. Matilda Caroline Carpenter; John L. (b. 1830 in Kentucky) md. Cynthia J. Carpenter; David S. (d. before 1874); David S. (d. before 1874) md. Angeline T.; Nancy A. (b. 1835 in Kentucky) md. a Johnson; Pauline Sophia (b. 5 Feb 1836 in KY, d 15 Dec 1893 in Saline Co.) md. Benjamin T. Poe (she is buried at Poe Cemetery). There is a group sheet on William who married Elizabeth B. Hoffman if you need or want that. There is also Joseph Leonard Beatty, parents were Andrew and Julia Ann, b 16 Jan 1847, d 6 Dec 1914, md. 8 Feb 1877 Eveline (or Emmaline) Phillips. Their children: Daughter who married W. C. Forman; Daughter who married R. F. Heuman; Ida Irene md. Thomas J. Boggs; Joseph L. md. Mattie Eunie (LNU); Bryan; Roy; and Ola. That's when I ran out of time and energy. Will try again someday or make a special trip if anyone need specific information on any Beatys in Saline Co. Please note that there are many spellings for the name in Saline Co. As you may have noticed in some of the deeds, there were even two or three different spellings in one document. I don't know if there is a connection between all these Beaty families, but they sure flocked to Saline Co.

Transactions 2, 10 and 13 all belong to L4 which has a large presence in Saline Co., MO in the 1830s-1880s. Also the FGS referred to is that of James Gilmore Beattie--patriarch of this section of L4. -----Original Message----- >From: Teresa Walker <twalker@iland.net> >Sent: Sep 2, 2007 5:04 PM >To: BP2000-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [BP2000] Beaty/Beatty/Batey Saline Co., Missouri > >Hello Marlene and Donna and others interested in L9, > >I went to the Saline Co., Missouri, courthouse and library last week.

Does anyone have any links with John Beattie married to Mary McWaters, c. 1860, Co. Tyrone, N.I. Child: Minnie Beattie, b. 1869 William Beattie married to Elizabeth Wethral Children: Robert John Beattie, b. 1863, Co. Tyrone, NI Eliza Jane Beattie, b. 1866, Co.

I found this abstract from the NY Times which stated that there was a controversy over who actually had supplied the stone for the Statue of Liberty. New York Times: June 15, 1986, Sunday By ELEANOR CHARLES (NYT); Connecticut Weekly Desk Late City Final Edition, Section 11CN, Page 6, Column 5, 675 words ELLEN BEATTIE HARE of Old Saybrook is still hoping for an official invitation to the Fourth of July celebration at the Statue of Liberty. Mrs. Hare is the great-granddaughter of John Beattie of Guilford, owner of a quarry that, Mrs. Hare maintains, supplied all the stone for the statue's .. So, I thought I would add the obituary of John Beattie: New York Times, November 21, 1899, p. 17 John Beattie, one of the best known stone-contractors in the New England States, died yesterday at Teete's (sic) Island, Conn., where he had conducted an immense quarry for over a century. Some of his large contracts were the furnishing of stone for the abutments of the Statue of Liberty, the roadbed of the Consolidated Road and the New Haven breakwater. He was eighty years old.

Yesterday I ran into a Beattie mentioned who had done the stonework on the Statue of Liberty and was curious who it was. This has probably been posted before but I don't remember seeing it so I hope it is a new posting. Donna L-3 Anyone know a lineage? Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts-1912 WILLIAM BEATTIE, now living retired, but in his active life one of the large quarrymen and contractors in his line in southern Massachusetts, a man who won success by his own work and gained position on his own merits, was born Oct. 4, 1829, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, a younger brother of John Beattie, quarryman and contractor, late of Leete Island, Guilford, who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, June 18, 1820. John Beattie, their father, was a freeman of that city, and a direct descendant of that noted Beattie family of Eskdale Moore, in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, whose ancestry has been traced back more than six centuries, and whose valor and exploits in peace and war have been celebrated in the story and song of that country by Sir Walter Scott and others. On the paternal side his grandmother was Nancy Armstrong, a descendant of the Johnson family, of Dumiriesshire, also prominent in the affairs of Scotland. The mother of John Beattie was Ann Richardson, a daughter of John and Catharine (Tate) Richardson, both of families belonging to Haddington, Scotland. John and Ann (Richardson) Beattie had children: John, George (born in 1822), William, David (born in 1831) and Christiana. The parents came to America in 1828 and settled in Nova Scotia, Canada, where his father carried on his trade of stonemason and contractor. He was contractor in the construction of the masonry work on the Shubenacadie canal, between Halifax and Pictou. In that locality, on a small farm, the paternal home in this country was established. John Beattie, the elder of the brothers above referred to, was eight years old when he came with the family to this side of the Atlantic. In the neighborhood of the new home he was sent to school for a short time. But his robust nature rebelling against the restraint imposed by sedentary life, he preferred to labor in the fields of his father's farm. In Nova Scotia he attended with profit a few terms at the school of an excellent man, Rev. Mr. Morrison, and to these brief periods his school days were limited. After a few years residence in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and when John would no longer attend school, his father proposed to indenture him to learn the trade of a shoemaker, and had selected a master for him, whereupon the independent lad gave so emphatic a demonstration against the step that the plan was summarily abandoned. This opposition was probably the act in life which led him into the vocation in which he for so many years was successfully engaged. Being now thirteen years old, strong and healthy, with a love' for outdoor occupation, his father was persuaded to allow him to learn the trade of stone cutting, to which work John took with great spirit. In the course of a few years the failure of the canal company induced the Beatties to make their home at Newport, R. 1., whence the father and John went to New York to work at their trade. A year later they proceeded to Boston, and not long after to Newport, where the father died in 1835, when John was in his sixteenth year. The care of the family, consisting of his mother and four other children, the next eldest being ten years of age, now devolved upon John, who, deeply feeling the responsibility placed upon him, entered upon his life work with an earnestness of application that was bound to bring success. In his trade he becamevery skillful; and was a rapid and thorough workman. During the next four years he was employed at Fort Adams, R. I., having when he was eighteen years old his first contract to do work for the United States government. At the age of twenty years he was appointed foreman mason of the bridge builders on a section of the Boston & Troy railroad, and there for the fo11owing two years he had his first experience in overseeing large numbers of men. In 1846 he returned to Fort Adams, where he was appointed master stonecutter by Gen. W. S. Rosecrans, and superintended the preparation of the material used in that fortification until work was suspended by order of Jefferson Davis, at the time secretary of war. Again, for a year, Mr. Beattie was with the Boston & Troy Railroad Company, in his old capacity. He then went to California as a gold miner, in 1852, and for over two years had the experience of an argonaut without realizing any of the rewards sometimes associated therewith. Returning to the East, poor in purse and with impaired health, his next, work was building the stone towers for the suspension bridge across the Kentucky river at Pleasant Valley, from Cincinnati to Covington, in 1857. His health continuing poor, however, he and his brother William next opened a stonecutter's yard at Newport, in which he worked a year with beneficial results to his health. In 1855 Mr. Beattie was engaged in building the towers for the great bridge across the Ohio, between Cincinnati and Covington, after which he had an interest in the construction of Section 1, of the Brooklyn waterworks, at Jamaica, N. Y. That work being completed, at a loss to him, he spent some time building bridges on the Wabash railroad in Indiana, after which he returned to Jamaica, N. Y., and contracted for the construction of another section of the waterworks. This job he personally superintended, and to such great advantage that he and his partner cleared $20,000 in eighteen months. After this he executed many contracts for mason work, in bridges on railroads, warehouse docks, and lighthouses; built bridges on the Worcester & Nashua railroad, on the Old Colony line, and on the Warren & Fall River railroad; constructed the piers for the bridge at Warehouse Point (using sand bags for coffer dams for the first time in bridge construction in this couniry); and for the Old Colony docks at Newport -all public works. He also built the stone work of the statue of Liberty in New York harbor. In 1865 Mr. Beattie purchased the Harrison quarry, at Fall River, but after operating it one year left it in charge of his brother William and his son John, and opened another quarry at Niantic, Conn. In a few years he disposed of that interest, and in February, 1869, he went to Guilford, where he bought sixteen acres of land at Hoadley's Point, upon which were very fine ledges of excellent granite. During the following season he built several houses on this tract, doing at the same time the mason work for the Newport & Wickford railroad. On Aug. 22, 1870, he removed permanently to Leete Island, where he continued to make his home until his death, Nov. 18, 1899. Here he developed his large quarry interests until the industry became one of the largest of the kind in the State. His granite lands and real estate holdings at Leete Island increased to more than 400 acres, and employment was given to from 125 to 600 men, their operations being conducted in a systematic manner, aided by modern appliances. The products were readily transported to many localities by the Shore Line railroad, running through his lands, and by a fleet of vessels owned by him and laden at his docks at Hoadley's Point. The granite of these quarries is of several qualities, blue, pink and white, which are here cut, carved and polished into any desired form, and a coarse-grained gray, having a carrying capacity of 18,000 pounds to the square inch, which is much used for building purposes. A large quantity was thus supplied for the construction of the roadway of the New York & Harlem railroad, from the river to the Grand Central depot, in New York City. Much of the stone in the Brooklyn suspension bridge in New York was furnished from these quarries. Mr. Beattie had a thorough, practical knowledge of every department of work carried on by him, and being possessed of great industry, pluck and executive ability, he prospered in his affairs and earned the distinction of being one of the foremost business men in the eastern part of the country. Of strong physique, and liberally endowed with many of the distinguishing characteristics of the Scottish race, he was a typical son of the "land of the mountain and the flood." William Beattie went to a child's school in Halifax, and continued his studies after the family settled at Newport, but his attendance at day school stopped after he was ten or eleven years old, and later he attended night schooL He commenced work carrying tools at Fort Adams for one year, and then learned the trade of mason, serving three years at four dollars per month. His apprenticeship began in 1842 and was completed in 1846. In the latter year, in association with his brother George, he built a bridge and constructed the piers in Bangor, Maine. He was with his brother at Fort Adams until 1849, when, during Jefferson Davis's administration as secretary of war, work was discontinued, the funds giving out. George Beattie went around the Horn in 1849 and John and William went out to California in 1852, making the trip via Greytown, in Central America, over the Nicaragua route. The four brothers, John, George, William and David, were all in California at one time, William Beattie remaining there about two years and four months. Returning to the East, he became engaged at stonecutting in Newport, and then in 1865 with his brother John purchased the Harrison quarrY, in Fall River, which covered an area of two and a half acres. It was small and about ready to be abandoned. The brothers operated it about one year, when John withdrew, and William Beattie added to it as prosperity allowed until the property comprised over sixty acres. Mr. Beattie received considerable government work, and continued adding to his quarry and extending his business, one of his important contracts being to furnish the stone for the foundation of the State house at Albany, in 1873. Later, in 1877, he bought out his nephew and continued the business alone. His life has been much the same as that of his successful brother in the same line. By business ability of the most pronounced order he widened his interests and increased the scope of his work until he became one of the most extensive quarrymen in his region. By his own efforts, and the most honorable methods, he built up a business creditable alike to the owner and to the community in which it was carried on. Mr. Beattie is a director of the Union and Seaconnet Mills. At one time he was a member of St. John's Lodge, A. F. & A. M.; Newport, and of Quidneck Encampment (I. O. O. F.), of the same place. Mr. Beattie married Mary Hamilton, who was born in northern England, daughter of Thomas Hamilton, and came to America when two years old. Their children are: David, member of the firm of Beattie & Wilcox, of Fall River; William Henry, of the firm of Beattie & Cornell, of Fall River; and Roy Hamilton, who is engaged alone in the building of sea walls.

Boston Recorder, July 12, 1823 On the 17th of April at Bellingham, Northumberland Penn., aged 64, Mr. John Baty, Parish Clerk & Sexton. He went out in perfect health to dig a grave, in which before he had finished it, he died. His wife thinking him long, went and found him dead in the tomb which he had made for another.

Colin C. Beattie, Company D 81 NY Infantry, application # 444,413; widow Jane Beattie, filed 1890, Michigan On March 8, 1882 Collin Beattie, aged 62 and a resident of Amber Township, ½ mile from Sweetland P. O., Mason County, Michigan filed a claim for a Civil War Pension. He states that he "entered the service under the name of Collin Beattie in December 1864 as Private in Company "D" of the 81st regiment of N. Y. Vols commanded by Capt. Butler and was honorably discharged at Williamsburg, Va. on or about the 1 or 15 day of October 1865 by reason of expiration of term of service that his personal description is as follows: Age, 62 years; height 6 feet ½ inches; complexion florid; hair brown; eyes blue. That while a member of the organization aforesaid, in the service and in the line of his duty at Chapins' Farm in the State of Virginia on or about Feb or March 1865 a shell knocked him down on his gun, breaking three ribs of his left side..That since leaving the service this applicant has resided in the State of New York and the State of Michigan and his occupation has been that of a Farmer. On July 30, 1890 Jane Beattie, aged 49 years and a resident of Custer, Mason County, Michigan, filed a claim for pension. She is the widow of Colin C. Beattie who died at Amber, Michigan July 17, 1889. She was married under the name of Jane Cure to Colin C. Beattie on February 6, 1889 at Custer, Michigan. She states there is one child under the age of sixteen, Brodie (?) born March 16, 1876. A certified copy of the marriage record of Colin C. Beatie to Jane Cure is in the file. It shows Colin C. Beattie, age 67, and born in Scotland and Jane Cure, age 47, born New York, maiden name Robinson were married February 6, 1888 in Mason County, Michigan. Lucinda M. Ridley, age 48 and a resident of Amber, Michigan states "I am the sister of the second wife, Rachel Beattie, of said Collin Beattie and was present when said Rachel Beattie died on or about July 27, 1887." On September 10, 1890, Jane Beattie, age 50 and a resident of Mason County, Michigan, states "I have no children by Colin C. Beattie. He left only one minor child by a former wife. He was 14 years old last 14th day of March. He is gone away shifting for himself. I was at the old place his home to try and find evidence in regard to the boys age &c but the only parties that I could get any information from was away. The way I got my information was from their father when he was alive." This pension claim was not approved. A "Substitute Volunteer Enlistment" for Collin Beattie was in his Military record. It shows that Collin Beatty, born in Scotland, aged 37 years [birth year c 1827], occupation laborer served as a Volunteer substitute for Jeremy Bartlett of Collins, Erie County, New York on December 7, 1864 Without an exact place of birth it is almost impossible to determine where Colin Beattie was born in Scotland. There is only 1 Colin Beattie born in Scotland prior to 1854 and he was born May 3, 1830 in Benholm, Kincardineshire to William Beattie and Isobel Kennedy. I do not find this Colin Beattie in the 1841 Census of Scotland but I do find his parents in the 1841 census. I can not locate Colin Beattie in a US Census before 1870. 1880 United States Federal Census Name: Colin Beattie Home in 1880: Amber, Mason, Michigan Age: 61 Estimated birth year: abt 1819 [this age makes Colin about 10 years older than enlistment record] Birthplace: Scotland Relation to head-of-household: Self (Head) Spouse's name: Rachel Father's birthplace: Scotland Mother's birthplace: England Neighbors: View others on page Occupation: Farmer Marital Status: Married Race: White Gender: Male Household Members: Name Age Colin Beattie 61 Rachel Beattie 40 born Indiana, father born NC, mother born VA Colin C.

John Beatty, Company C, 1st Iowa Infantry, Civil War, Certificate # 662,235 On February 16, 1907 John Beatty, age 74 and a resident of Moline, Rock Island, Illinois filed a declaration of pension under the Act of February 6, 1907. He states "that he is the identical person who was enrolled at Muscatine, Iowa under the name of John Beatty on the 14 day of May 1861 as a private in Co. C 1st Iowa Vol. Infantry in the service of the United States in the Civil War and was Honorably Discharged at St. Louis on the 25 day of August 1861. That he served no other service." He adds "his personal description at enlistment was as follows: Height 5 feet 10 inches; complexion light; color of eyes blue; color of hair black, that his occupation was molder; that he was born in Ireland, 1832 at Newry County Down. Born Oct. 4th 1832. That his several places of residence since leaving the service have been as follows: Muscatine Iowa and has lived in Moline for the past 45 years. That he is a pensioner, certificate # 662,235" On Form 3-173, dated August 12, 1899, John Beatty, a resident of Moline, Illinois stated that he was married to Matilda Caroline George, April 10, 1871 in Muscatine, Iowa by Rev. James Boyd Blakeney, Pastor of 1 Methodist Church, Muscatine, Iowa. He was previously married to Lydia Ann Hopson who died December 22, 1868 at Quincy, Michigan. He has two sons by his first marriage: John Franklin Beatty born in Moline June 14, 1864 and Samuel Arthur Beatty born in Moline October 9, 1866. He has no children by his present wife. A letter, dated January 7, 1908, from John Beatty to the Pension Commissioner is in this file: Dear Sir, I rec'd your letter yesterday and in reply will say that when I left Ireland I was a boy and when I enlisted I gave my age as 27 as I thought that was my age was not sure of it about 25 years ago my oldest sister Mary made me a visit. She told me that I was born Oct. 4, 1832. Now then I had no object in making myself two years younger when I could just as well made 29 or 30. Last summer I wrote back to Ireland to find out my age. I got a letter from my brother-in-law and one from the Presbyterian minister which I will enclose you. Now if this is not satisfactory to you I can get a number of well known citizens here who will vouch for me for as to character and for truth and veracity as I am well known having lived here for 45 years and would not perjure my self to get 5 dollars month more. I will swear to these statements to be true to the best of my knowledge and belief. John Beatty A letter from James Dodd to John Beatty, dated September 3, '07, Greenfield Crossings, Goraghwood, Ireland is in the file: My Dear John, I received your letter in due time. I had heard through Mr. Mulligan that you were still alive. Well about your age I went over on Sunday week to Formore to your sister Margt. (Mrs. Moffat) and she says there is no record in the Family Bible of your age. There is only your name (John Beatty Carnmeen) but no date whatever. Mr. Mulligan says any record in books is lost long ago. But if my word is any good to you, you are two years younger than I am & I was 77 years on 11th August last, so that would leave you 75. Your sister Mary had your age I think. Mrs. Moffat and her husband are both well and Margaret was glad to hear about you. You didn't say anything of yourself. I would like to know if you are a widower or if you have any family. I am very well myself & still at my work. All my family are married and settled near me (5 boys & 2 girls). I think you know Jane is dead 14 years past & my son James & his wife and family live with me. He has seven children living. I have no fewer than 32 grandchildren living and one great grandson. I shall hope to hear from you soon again. & I remain Yrs Very Sincerely James Dodd. A letter dated July 13, 1909, from John Beatty to the Pension Department is in this file: Dear Sir, My name is John Beatty was a member of Co. C in the first Iowa Regt Infantry. My Pension Certificate number is 662235. When I enlisted in 61 I gave my age at 27 should be 29. At that time I did not know how old I was about 30 years ago my oldest sister made me a visit. She told me I was born in October 4, 1832. Have considered that my age since about 1 ½ years ago. I made application for an increase 20 month which you rejected on the Grounds that I could not get a family record or a church record. I have a sister living in Ireland and she sent me this document which I will enclose you. So it appears by that I was 10 years old in 1841 when the census was taken. Now you will please attend to this as I believe my claim is a just one.

Possible parents for John Joseph Beatty of Brooklyn? [See previous post] In researching this lineage I looked at New York passenger records and found that John Joseph Beatty went to Europe at least 4 times from 1900 to about 1950. The passenger records record people coming back into the US whether they are Americans or foreigners. I found John J. Beatty and made a positive identification using his address: He arrives March 8, 1913, and states he was born Oct. 31, 1871, Brooklyn, NY, address: 1469 Dean St., Brooklyn, NY He arrives February 3, 1924 and states he was born Oct. 31, 1870, Brooklyn, NY, address 1469 Dran [Dean] St. Brooklyn He arrives February 22, 1937 and states he was born Oct. 31, 1869, Brooklyn, NY, address 916 St. Markus, Brooklyn He arrives September 15, 1933 and states he was born Oct. 31, 1869, Brooklyn, NY, address 916 St. Marks Ave. Brooklyn, In the 1910 and 1920 Census his address is 1469 Dean Street, Brooklyn. At the time of the 1930 Census he was living at 916 St. Mark's Ave., Brooklyn and in fact was still living at St. Mark's Avenue at his death in 1957: New York Times, May 12, 1957 Beatty, John J. on May 11, 1957 of 803 St. Mark's Ave., Brooklyn. Funeral notice later [I never found the notice] In trying to locate his parents I looked at all of the John Beattys living in Brooklyn in 1870 and 1880 with birth years from 1868 -1872 and parents born in Ireland. There were several possibilities but I believe the following family is the most likely one, based on census address and the address of Ellen Beatty at her death in 1907 (1496 Dean Street, Brooklyn, widowed with 2 sons and 1 daughter). This is rather circumstantial evidence and it would be nice to find a will record for Ellen or John Beatty, a birth record for John J. Beatty or some other form of proof of his parentage. Note that his middle initial is H. in the pre 1900 census-I speculate that the middle name "Joseph" was on he chose at his Catholic confirmation. 1900 United States Federal Census Name: Ellen Beatty Home in 1900: Brooklyn Ward 24, Kings, New York, 320 St. Mark's, owns home.

Possible parents for John Joseph Beatty of Brooklyn? In researching this lineage I looked at New York passenger records and found that John Joseph Beatty went to Europe at least 4 times from 1913 to about 1933. The passenger records record people coming back into the US whether they are Americans or foreigners. I found John J. Beatty and made a positive identification using his address: He arrives March 8, 1913, and states he was born Oct. 31, 1871, Brooklyn, NY, address: 1469 Dean St., Brooklyn, NY He arrives February 3, 1924 and states he was born Oct. 31, 1870, Brooklyn, NY, address 1469 Dran [Dean] St. Brooklyn He arrives February 22, 1937 and states he was born Oct. 31, 1869, Brooklyn, NY, address 916 St. Markus, Brooklyn He arrives September 15, 1933 and states he was born Oct. 31, 1869, Brooklyn, NY, address 916 St. Marks Ave. Brooklyn, In the 1910 and 1920 Census his address is 1469 Dean Street, Brooklyn. At the time of the 1930 Census he was living at 916 St. Mark's Ave., Brooklyn and in fact was still living at St. Mark's Avenue at his death in 1957: New York Times, May 12, 1957 Beatty, John J. on May 11, 1957 of 803 St. Mark's Ave., Brooklyn. Funeral notice later [I never found the notice] In trying to locate his parents I looked at all of the John Beattys living in Brooklyn in 1870 and 1880 with birth years from 1868 -1872 and parents born in Ireland. There were several possibilities but I believe the following family is the most likely one, based on census address and the address of Ellen Beatty at her death in 1907 (1496 Dean Street, Brooklyn, widowed with 2 sons and 1 daughter). This is rather circumstantial evidence and it would be nice to find a will record for Ellen or John Beatty, a birth record for John J. Beatty or some other form of proof of his parentage. Note that his middle initial is H. in the pre 1900 census-I speculate that the middle name "Joseph" was one he chose at his Catholic confirmation. 1900 United States Federal Census Name: Ellen Beatty Home in 1900: Brooklyn Ward 24, Kings, New York, 320 St. Mark's, owns home.

>From the Handbook of Texas Online: Not my life: RaNelle Parker L-405 BEATY, JOHN OWEN (1890-1961). John Owen Beaty, teacher and author, was born to James Robert and Eula (Simms) Beaty at Crow, West Virginia, on December 22, 1890. He received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Virginia in 1913 and enlisted in the United States Army in 1917; he remained on active duty through World War I,qv then stayed in Europe and took graduate courses at the Université de Montpellier, France, before returning to the United States, where he joined the faculty of Southern Methodist University in Dallas in 1919. He married Josephine Mason Powell in 1920. The couple raised four children. Beaty completed his Ph.D. in 1921 at Columbia University. In 1926-27 he was an American Kahn fellow in Asia and Europe. In 1922 he was promoted to professor; he was selected chairman of the Department of English in 1927. He retained this position until 1940 and was honorary chairman until his retirement from the university in 1957. >From 1926 to 1934 he was visiting professor during the summers at various universities, including the University of Texas. He authored and coauthored a number of articles for popular and professional journals and several books, including An Introduction to Poetry (1922), An Introduction to Drama (1927), Texas Poems (1936), Swords in the Dawn (1937), Image of Life (1940), and Crossroads (1956). In 1951 he published The Iron Curtain Over America. This highly controversial and widely criticized book contended that Jews not only were largely responsible for the success of the Bolshevik Revolution but dominated the Democratic partyqv in the United States. Beaty was chairman of the Modern Language Association's Old English group, 1938-39; president of the Texas branch of the Conference of College Teachers of English, 1937-38; and a member of the American Academy of Political Science. He also served as pronunciation consultant for the second edition of Webster's New International Dictionary, published in 1934. In addition, he was a member of the United States Army Reserve until 1950; he retired with the rank of colonel. After his retirement from SMU, Beaty and his wife moved to Campbellton Farm, which his father had established, near Barboursville, Virginia. He died on September 9, 1961, while hospitalized at Gordonsville, Virginia. He was a Baptist and a member of the Order of the White Cross, the Masonic order, and the Woodmen of the World.
