Has Joseph Beatty, b. abt. 1770 in New Hanover Co., NC, d. in DeKalb Co., TN been assigned a lineage in BP2000? He had a son, James, b. 1782 in Mecklenburg Co., NC, d. abt. 1854 in DeKalb Co., TN, m. Esther Owen. Thank you. Gerri

Gerri, For what it's worth, I did a little checking and found that DeKalk Co., TN was created in 1838 (proposed in 1837). It was a small county created in an area which was part of Smith County in 1804. That could explain the references to DeKalb County. Les
