Hello! I'm new to the Beatty Project, and apparently I have a Beatty in my past who doesn't seem to have a Beatty family to fit into. I'm hoping one (or more) of you might have her lurking somewhere in your family tree... Here's what I know: Martha BATY or BEATTY, b abt 1796/97, Greenbrier, VA. Mother's maiden name *may* have been Burns. Moved to Ohio around 1817 and married, in 1821, John MARTIN (b 1797, VA, died 1849 Jackson Co. OH). Lived in Jackson Co., Ohio. Had at least 9 children (listed below). Died 5 Sep 1864, and is buried in Jackson Furnace Cemetary. Her children include: Sarah MARTIN b 22 Nov 1821 d 14 Nov 1895, m 1839 Patrick BEARS James W MARTIN b 1823 d 7 Mar 1882, m 1853 Elizabeth SLAUGHTER John MARTIN b 1824/25, m 1853 Hannah Jane BUTLER Nancy MARTIN b 9 Oct 1832 d 13 Apr 1910, m 1856 George BAKER Everly MARTIN b Feb 1835, m 1857 Eunice MEAD Benjamin Franklin MARTIN b18 Aug 1838 d 26 Nov 1893, m 1865 Frances CANTER Tryus J.

Hello, A couple questions. Could your Martha's mother's maiden name be Burnside and not Burns? Is this your John Martin in 1830? If so he is next to Joel Martin who married Sarah Beatty in 1825 in Jackson co., OH. Sarah and Elizabeth who married Nathan Wooten/Woten in Jackson co., OH in 1826 are sisters and proven children of John Beatty and Sarah Burnside. I have more info. I didn't realize there might be 5 dughters until I looked Sarah Burnside Beatty up on the 1810 census. Her father John Burnside died in Greenbrier co., VA. She remarried James Johnston and had more kids. I have a deed or two and the will. more later if you think it might connect.

Donna, I would be *thrilled* if this works out! Burns vs. Burnside. The only hint I have on this comes from J.F. Cartan's family tree, and he said that Martha's mother's maiden name *may* have been "Burns". And a cousin of mine who did some research also said "Burns" but didn't give any reference. So it may also have been Burnside. I can go there. More problematic is the census. Martha Beatty and John Martin were married in 1821. Martha *should* have been 33 in the 1830 census, but the adult female was listed between 20-29 yrs. Not a biggie on its own. Censi are not known for absolute accuracy or consistency. Next, this John Martin was listed as having 6 children. I have only found records for three. However, they do fit into the age/gender ranges, and there is room in time for there to have been 3 other children. My daughter, who has been doing genealogy much longer than I, says that the record keeping was such that there might have been other children who did not get "attached" to Martha and John bc no one recorded their births and no one asked who their parents were when they got married. I will check with one other person who has done a lot of research on the Ohio Martins and see if he has any information on John-next-to-Joel. I know there was a "Quaker John" Martin in the area, as well. The whole area was thick with Martins, as a matter of fact, and untangling them has been problematic. Nevertheless, I am hopeful that we have enough threads here to make a connection!!!! :-) Betty "546" ---- Original message ---- >Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2010 10:32:23 -0500 >From: bp2000-bounces@rootsweb.com (on behalf of "Donna VanZandt" <donavan@netwtc.net>) >Subject: Re: [BP2000] New line: #546 >To: <bp2000@rootsweb.com> > >Hello, A couple questions.
