Does anyone claim Thomas Beatty (d.6/11/1816 age 69) and Margaret Beatty (d.3/27/1825 age 75)? Both are buried in the Cross Creek Cemetery in Washington County, PA. Thomas Beatty

Yes, they are the earliest know members of BP lineage 044. Thomas was my great, great, great grandfather. If you want details I'll be glad to supply them. Marvin Beatty

Yes, I would like to have more info. My great-great grandfather was George Beatty. I recently found out from a statement in a biographical history of Henry County, IA, that he was brought to the US (colonies?) when he was 6 from the "Emerald Isle" and lived in Cross Creek. Old family documents lead me to believe that Thomas, who I believe was a cordwainer, was his father, but Thomas could have been his uncle. The naming pattern for George's kids starts with John, so maybe John was his father and died or was somehow left behind in Ireland. There are kids named Thomas and Margaret later among George's offspring. There was also a William Beatty connected somehow...witnessed some wills of other proved relatives of mine. He would have been a contemporary of Thomas and Margaret.
