Nel, Is this a new email address for you? If so, I need to change my address book for you. Also, re the two entries I sent to you: In the first, the grant referenced land "adjoining" Alexander Beaty. This could be a different Alexander. In the second, it is a grant 'to' Alexander Beaty. Don't know if the distinction makes any difference. Just thought I would mention it.
