Hi Anne could you respond to this please.

Anne's notes are a little confusing to me, but the "IX, William b. 1738 died Feb. 15, 1802" from page V of the book caught my attention. We are looking for a Billy/William Beaty of about those years. He had sons Alexander b. 1768 NC , Andrew b. 1761 PA, and maybe others including James b. 1751/2 Nottingham, Chester Co., PA. Billy lived in PA and probably moved before 1768 to an area near Washington Co., VA which later became NC and then Sullivan Co., TN. The latest reference we have of Billy is in Dec 1801 when his son Alexander was married at his house in Sulllivan Co., TN.

Nel L2B email from Annie, dated: 26 Sept 2005; L-05, BP2000 researcher contact at littlefawn158@earthlink.net Hi Nelda, Alexander is mentioned three times in the book. The information is notated that it was received from Helen Wrigley, 09/08/1980: copied by Helen from Historical and Genealogical notes and queries, Mennonite Historical Society Lancaster, Pa. Here is what it says: (pg. III) Genealogical Notes: The Beatty Family: The Beatty's emigrated from the North of Ireland, where the family is still honorably represented. Among the early Scotch Irish emigrants to Cumberland County, prior to 1750, were, John and James Beatty. Alexander Beatty, with a family, some of whom were grown, settled at the Big Spring in 1769, where New Berlin, Union County, is situated. Several of his sons served in the Revolutionary War. So far as we can ascertain he was the first to carry on the business on tanning in the West Branch Valley. His will was probated at Sunbury, May 21, 1787. His legatees are as follows. He first provides carefully and amply for his beloved wife Agnes, and the estate to remain intact until his widow's death. His daughter (1) Jane shall have twenty pounds on condition that she come to this country. His daughter (2) Agnes, to have a like sum under same conditions. Provisions are made for payment of these legacies in case of decease or impossibility to come to this country. His son, (3) Hugh, shall have twenty pounds and his wearing apparel, with the exception of his great coat, son (4) John shall have twenty pounds. Daughter (5) Hannah shall have twenty pounds. Daughter (6) Sarah, shall have twenty pounds. His son (7) Alexander, shall have his estate, both real and personal, but must pay out of it the aforenamed legacies and also teach his son, (8) James, the business of tanning, said James to have half interest in the tannery. In case he does not carry out the provision them James shall have twenty five acres of land including eleven acres of cleared land adjoining Samuel Templeton. Hugh, James and Alexander--and witnesses John McPherson and Samuel Templeton. In 1792 when New Berlin was laid out, it would seem that Alexander Beatty built a tannery there, as the new place is credited with such improvement this year. In East Buffalo Township, a few miles north of New Berlin, James Beatty is a resident in 1794. In 1796, the names John and Alexander appear in the same twp. (Pg. V) Beatty: I.

Take care, Annie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >From Donna, L-03, BP2000 researcher Here is some L-5 census. Ann or Mrs. Beatty is probably the widow of James who died in 1795. She may have males apprenticed out or just daughters. David is a mystery. I remember tracking him back at some time or another but have forgotten. The Abraham in 1800 is a mystery. Personally I am inclined to think it is Alex since he is there in 1810 next to the widow Ann and I believe the Mrs. Beatty widow is Ann in 1800. ************************************************************************* 1790- Township: Not Stated County: Northumberland State: Pennsylvania image 46 John Niece (Mary Niece mentioned in will) Alexander Beatty 1-1-3-1 Wm.

Among the early Scotch Irish emigrants to Cumberland County, prior to 1750, were John and James Beatty. Alexander Beatty, with a family, some of whom were grown, settled the Big Spring in 1769, where New Berlin, Union County, is situated. Several of his sons served in the Revolutionary War. So far as we can ascertain he was the first to carry on the business of tanning in the West Branch Valley. His will was probated at Sunbury, May 21, 1787. His legatees are as follows: He first provides carefully and amply for his beloved wife, Agnes, and the estate to remain intact until his widow's death. His daughter, (1) Jane, shall have twenty pounds on condition that she come to this country. His daughter, (2) Agnes, to have a like sum under the same conditions. Provisions are made for the payment of these legacies in case of decease or impossibility to come to this country. His son, (3) Hugh, shall have twenty pounds and his wearing apparel, with the exception of his great coat. Son (4) John, shall have twenty pounds. Daughter (5) Hannah shall have twenty pounds. Daughter (6) Sarah shall have twenty pounds. His son, (7) Alexander, shall have his estate, both real and personal, but must pay out of it the aforenamed legacies and also teach his son, (8) James the business of tanning, said James to half interest in the tannery. In case he does not carry out this provision then James shall have twenty-five acres of cleared land adjoining Samuel Templeton. Provision is also made for Mary Niess, a bound girl. The executors were his sons, Hugh, James and Alexander - and witnesses, John McPherson and Samuel Templeton. In 1792, when New Berlin was laid out, it would seem that Alexander Beatty built a tannery there, as the new place is credited with such improvement this year. In East Buffalo Township, a few miles north of New Berlin, James Beatty is a resident in 1794. In 1796, the names of James and Alexander appear in the same township. In 1779 the name of Ann Beatty, widow, appears in West Buffalo. From 1796 to 1800 only the names of Hugh and William Beatty appear in New Berlin. In 1802 Edward Tate, of West Buffalo township, died, and Hugh Beatty took the land at the appraisement. In 1809 John Beatty died in Union County. In 1805 Samuel Beatty, of Shamokin township, Northumberland county, died. In his will, which was drawn July 4th, and probated October 8th, 1805, he states that he is very sick and weak, but of sound memory. To his sister, Jean, wife of John Forster, he bequeaths the sum of one hundred pounds ($500), to be paid six years after his death. To his sister, Hester, he gives the 'balance' of his estate, but should she die before coming into possession, the said balance to go to the heirs of his sister Jean. These were his only legatees. Query: Who was John Forester? The famous Captain John Forester, of Buffalo Valley, the companion of the Bradys, and who died in 1786, had a son John, who for many years was in the mercantile business at Aaronsburg, Centre county.

Dorward, Philadelphia-Continental Chapter.\par \par About 1758, Alexander and his family, with the exception of his eldest daughter Jane, emigrated to America, living for several years in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. (Note: According to Alexander Beatty\rquote s will, Agness also remained behind.)\par \par About 1769, he moved to Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, settling along Penns Creek at a spring located north of what is now New Berlin (now Union County, Pennsylvania), where he built, owned, and operated the first tannery in the area. According to research by Marlene K. Smith, the town council passed an ordnance in 1792 to build a dam across Penns Creek which would close down the tannery business by cutting off the water supply. The Beattys protested, to no avail. The dam was built and the tannery business ended. (\i Annals of Buffalo Valley,\i0 \i 1755-1855\i0 , John Blair Linn, p 33; and \i Union County, Pennsylvania, 1855-1965\i0 , p 209)\par \par He dug a basement and built a home there. The basement served as a refuge for neighbors from hostile Indians. Currently, there is a house over the original basement on the Harmony Springs farm, occupied in 1986 by Donald and Ruth Spangler. (see picture)\par \par According to the tax list of 1775, Alexander Beatty was the owner of 30 acres of land, with two horses and two cows. (\i Annals of Buffalo Valley\i0 , p 67)\par \par On Nov 8, 1777, Alexander Beatty purchased additional property from Reuben Haines, who had in turn acquired it from Thomas and John Penn, absolute proprietors and governors-in-chief of the Province of Pennsylvania. The original patent was dated May 4, 1773, recorded in Rolls Office in Philadelphia Patent Book AA, Vol 13, PA75, which \ldblquote did give, grant, and confirm unto Reuben Haines in fee simple a certain tract of land lying and being situated on the north side of Penns Creek in the Township of West Buffalo, County of Northumberland, called Ballamont. . . .\rdblquote (\i Union County, Pennsylvania Records, Book C509\i0 , entry dated 14 Oct 1816)\par \par From 1778 to 1783, Alexander Beatty served as a Ranger on the Frontier (Robinson\rquote s Rangers) in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. (\i Pennsylvania Archives III, Vol 23,\i0 pp 242- 243)\par \par Alexander Beatty served as a private in the Northumberland County Militia, Captain John Beatty\rquote s company, 1778-1783.\par \par One member of the Sons of the American Revolution who claimed Alexander Beatty as his patriot ancestor was William George Dorwart, member number 109711, who was descended from Hugh Beatty, Mary Beatty, Hugh Beatty Tate, Nancy Ellen Tate, and Myrtle Sarah Welshans. Another member is Larry Patrick Cornwell, 138085.\par \par The following was taken from an article written by William George Dorwart entitled, "The Beatty Family of New Berlin," published in \i 16th Annual Heritage Day\i0 \i Saturday, August 23, 1986, Vol XV\i0 , New Berlin Heritage Association. The information originally appeared in \i Annals of Buffalo Valley\i0 .\par \par "Alexander was a member of the Northumberland County Militia in the Revolutionary War, as were his sons Hugh and John. Indian uprisings, incited by the British, made it necessary that the \par Beatty home be used as a fort from time to time, where the settlers gathered in defense when the Indians laid waste their homes and fields.\par \par "On one occasion, Christian Shively saved the lives of his wife and two daughters when, attacked by Indians, he hid them along the bank of Penns Creek; then, under cover of darkness, he is said to have rolled two logs into the creek and floated the family down to Beattys' home.\par \par "Another interesting incident involved not only the Beatty family, but several of their neighbors as well and occurred as the inhabitants of Buffalo Valley were returning to their homes following the Great Runaway of 1778. (The Big Runaway occurred after the Indians slaughtered the settlers, when all the whites fled the valley and either sought refuge in the interior or went back to their kin where possible.)\par \par "When the militia, of which the Beatty men were members, was in Center County because of the Indian uprisings, word was received from General Potter that the inhabitants of Buffalo Valley had fled and the militia was instructed to march the remaining families then at Potters Fort (now Old Fort) to the Kishacoquilla Valley in Mifflin County (then Cumberland County) where they were encamped until the Indians were driven back from the territory.\par \par "The route of march was over the road from Shermans Valley to the Kishacoquillas Valley, beginning two and three quarter miles from Croghans, or Sterretts Gap, running through Rye Township and across the Juniata River at the mouth of Sugar Run in Fermanagh Township, thence through Derry Township up the north side of the Juniata to the Kishacoquillas Valley. This was the first road in Juniata and Mifflin townships, being first favored as early as 1768.\par \par "Many of the inhabitants, fearing the loss of crops, returned too soon to their homes to take off the harvest, being led by a temporary garrison of the militia, including the Beattys, via the Beaver Dams, now Beaver Springs and Beaver Town.\par \par "While harvesting was under way, the Indians attacked and killed Baltzer Klinesmith and a son of Henry Hover and wounding Mrs. Wilson and Catherine Klinesmith. (This occurred on Jul 14, 1780, according to Dorwart in his \ldblquote The Alexander Beatty Family\rdblquote article.)\par \par "Baltzer Klinesmith, a private in Joseph Green's Company, and his family were living on the land owned by George Sholtz (formerly the John Byler property), which was on the second road south of the Dreisbach Church at the time. While Baltzer, his son, and daughters Elizabeth and Catherine were working in the field, Baltzer some squirrels and having visions of a delicious pot pie, sent Baltzer, Jr., back for his squirrel gun. Meanwhile, an Indian raiding party came along and captured the father and the two girls.\par \par "Above Heimbach's blacksmith shop, where the road wound around the hill on the way to New Berlin, they killed Klinesmith. The mother of Judge Dreisbach witnessed the murder from a distance and helped carry his body to the Dreisbach churchyard where it was buried.\par \par "The Indians made their way to the Beatty spring, leaving the girls in charge of an old man in their party, while they attempted to ambush the Beattys who were working in the fields.\par \par "Shortly thereafter, it began to rain and the old Indian put the girls to work covering a sack of flour which the Indians had stolen, while he lay back against a tree, tomahawk under his head, and fell asleep.\par \par "The intended ambush of the Beattys was broken up by George Rote, a neighbor who was lame but had a powerful voice, and who frightened the Indians off by hallooing to an imaginary company to surround the black hearted rebels. Meanwhile, seeing that the old Indian had fallen asleep, Elizabeth motioned to Catherine to start running and, picking up the tomahawk, sank it into the Indian's skull. His piercing death shriek caused the returning Indians to pursue the girls and just as Catherine was springing over a fallen tree she was shot below the right shoulder blade, the bullet coming out her right side. She rolled under the tree and the Indians, thinking she was dead, pursued Elizabeth, who outran them to the Beattys.\par \par "The Beatty men, grabbing their rifles, pursued the Indians, When they came to where Catherine lay, and thinking of an Indian ambush, they nearly shot her before she was able to pull off her apron and wave it. Despite the wound and the loss of blood, Catherine survived. . . ."\par \par In 1781, the tax list for Buffaloe Township (later East Buffalo Township and now Limestone Township) showed Alexander Beaty with 170 acres, 2 horses, 2 cows, and no sheep. His tax was 5.13.4 (5 pounds, 13 shillings, 4 pence).\par \par In 1783-1784, the Transcript of Assessment for Buffaloe Township showed Alexander Beaty with 170 acres, 3 horses, and 6 cows for a tax of 1.16.6 in 1783 and 2.2.7 in 1784.\par \par Under the Military Loan of 1 April 1784, a certificate of public debt #4358, in the amount of 4 pounds, 10 shillings, was issued in Alexander Beatty\rquote s name \ldblquote for a tour of active duty in the Northumberland County Militia, which he performed as a member of Captain John Beatty\rquote s Company at an unspecified time during the Revolutionary War.\rdblquote (\i Interest Register, Vol A\i0 , p 128, Military Loans of 1784 and 1785, \ldblquote Public Debt\rdblquote Records of the Comtroller General, at the Pennsylvania Division of Archives and Manuscripts) \par \par Alexander Beatty wrote his will on May 21, 1787. It was probated on Jun 25, 1787 and recorded in \i Book I\i0 , p 452, Northumberland County Court House, Sunbury, Pennsylvania. It read:\par \par \ldblquote Alexander Beaty\rquote s Will\par \par \ldblquote In the Name of God, Amen.

Les, Let me restart here. I’m going to ignore, the Robert Beatty and Agnes (Nancy) Calhoun line, for now First lets discuss Alexander Beatty: 10.

Alexander Beaty was born February 17, 1776 in Lycoming Co., PA and died July 22, 1828 in Bur: Greencastle Cemetery.Bloom Twp. Fairfield Co., OH. viii. 38. Sarah Beatty was born 1760/1780 in PA. In Your latest email you discuss Alexander, John and Hugh Beattys as being in the Rangers. According to the notes sent by BP2000 when I received this BIG file it had as a note: These notes came with the file from BP2000: _FA2: Date: 1769 Place: Northumberland Co. PA, Penns Creek _FA2: Date: AFT 1750 Place: settled lst-Lancaster, PA _FA3: Place: built lst tannery in Penns Creek _FA4: Date: 1778 Place: service in Robinson's Rangers Let me state here I do not know where these notes came from. They were in the file exactly as they are here. Here at FA4 it gives 1778 in service with Roninson’s Rangers.. So Father Alexander Beatty served with the Rangers. In one of your emails I had questioned the term Indian Wars, and you answered: "during the Indian Wars." The French and Indian War was about 1754-1763. Don't know which war he is referring to. I will try to find out.” Answer: I had not read the added notes to Alexander that I have been gathering.. but in them it talks about the Indian uprisings during the Rev War, that the home fronts had to contend with. So he was right on that (notes to Alexander will be sent seperatly). Then you asked if Alexander’s sons could have been old enough to serve.. Yes. (MALES ONLY) Children of Alexander Beatty and Susanna maiden name unk. Beatty: iii. 33. Hugh Beatty was born 1751 in Co Down, IRE and died About 1835 in PA. iv. 34. John Beatty was born 1754 in County Down, Ireland and died March 26, 1823 in Lancaster, Fairfield County, Ohio. vi. 36.

Alexander Beaty was born February 17, 1776 in Lycoming Co., PA and died July 22, 1828 in Bur: Greencastle Cemetery.Bloom Twp. Fairfield Co., OH. His son HUGH b. 1751 age in 1785 – 36 so yes old enough probably is him Son JOHN b. 1754 age in 1785 – 32 Son Alexander b. 1776 – not old enough. As to if this John is the Captain, I do not know but would have to assume he is. I have seen nothing actually stating this. Now we come to Sarah Beatty other then the daughter of Alexander’s second marriage I have no Sarah Beatty who is available, right time frame to be the wife of your Carter. female Child of Alexander Beatty and Agnes (Susana) Brobst: viii. 38. Sarah Beatty was born 1760/1780 in PA. Since her birth date is not locked in… and only estimated she could be the one. MORE QUESTONS? PLEASE ASK!

I feel like I am plowing L-5 ground that has already been plowed by others (perhaps more than once). If the Venango Beatys weren't part of my wife's ancestry, I wouldn't be involved. I certainly have plenty of other fish to fry. But, it is so I am. When I mentioned earlier that we had an ancestor Thomas Carter who married a Sarah Beatty in Northumberland Co PA and that Thomas Carter served under a Capt. John Beatty in the frontier militia, someone asked "Who was Capt. John Beatty?" I have source documents coming on the Carter ancestry so I may know more when I get those. In the meantime, I looked at the PA State Archives online and found the following: Name Rank County Unit Cert. Pay £ Cert.

Northumberland Militia 4334 17. 18 May 1785 A 127 Carter, Thomas Northumberland Militia 4357 4.10.0 18 May 1785 A 127 Beaty, Alexander Northumberland Militia 4358 4.10.0 18 May 1785 A 128 Carter, Thomas Northumberland Militia 4809 5. 19 May 1785 A 143 Beatty, Hugh Northumberland Militia 4816 7.5.0 19 May 1785 A 143 This seems to corroborate the Dempsey research I received which indicates that "Thomas Carter served as a Frontier Ranger under Captain John Beatty, in Northumberland County, PA from 1778 to 1783, during the Indian Wars." The certificates cited above indicate a later period of service than the 1778-1783 period cited by the Dempsey researcher. I have a source that says that Robinson's Rangers were part of the militia from Northumberland Co., PA. I do not know if the above folks were part of Robinson's command. What appears clear to me is that Thomas Carter, Alexander Beaty, John Beaty (Capt), and Hugh Beatty were in close proximity to one another in that place and time. I suppose the relationship of these Beatys to one another is the subject of additional conjecture. What is intriguing is that Thomas Carter (with wife Sarah Beatty) moves to Venango Co., PA in 1796 which is the same year that Robert Beaty entered Venango Co., PA. It is also intriguing that Robert's wife was Agnes Calhoun, and Thomas Carter's first wife was reported to be Sarah Calhoun. Hummmm. Les Beaty L-241/L-20

At the time a lady informed Nelda Robert of Venango was not part of L-5 I worked on the lineage for at least 6 wks. I found lots of info for other lineages and added it but I could not find any proof of a lineage for Robert. I e-mailed numerous people and said I thought it should be returned to its original lineage-183 until some sort of proof turned up. It has been changed to fit two different lineages and he became a Rev War vet when the only proof we have is of War of 1812 service. If anyone has proof of the parentage of Robert I would dearly love to see it. I am not saying he is not part of L-5 or L-178 but we need to have some proof before we connect him yet again to another lineage. Once an error is made it is on the internet forever in some way or another. Requiring proof seems a logical step compared to having incorrect data haunt us forever and the brick walls others hit when they have proof but need to disprove the incorrect parentage. Unless someone can show proof I think it should be L-183 as it originally was. Donna L-3
