Info from the 1880 census for Armstrong County, PA is misleading. It reads: Census Place: Manorville, Armstrong, Pennsylvania Source: FHL Film 1255096 National Archives Film T9-1096 Page 278B Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace Sarah A.

BEATY Son M S W 4 PA Fa: PA Mo: PA I have done extensive research and there is NO James H. Beatty or Joseph C. Beatty in this family. The family in the above record is the family of Robert Beatty (son of William and Isabella Caldwell) and his wife Sarah Grim (daughter of George). One of his daughters, Elizabeth Jane Beatty, married Joseph C. McBride. Joseph died before 1880. Elizabeth is a widow that year and working as a servant for a family in Allegheny County. They had 4 children, 3 living in 1880 but none were living with the family. Ida Belle McBride is living with cousins in Millvale, Allegheny County, PA. But I could not locate the other two children. These two are James Hamilton McBride, born in 1869 and Joseph C. McBride, born in 1876. The James H. Beatty and Joseph C. Beatty are actually the two missing McBrides. The census taker got the surname wrong. Robert and Sarah did have a son, James, but he was born much earlier than 1869. Also, Simon Z. Beatty is Simon Q. Beatty and Adanam is Adnum, named for the husband of one of Sarah's sisters. Linda M. (Lineage 132)
