Donna, While researching in Portsmouth, Scioto, OH. Have you happened to find anything obit on Elizabeth Beatty DOD Nov 15, 1883 Madison Twnsp. DOB Nov 27, 1827 Jackson Co OH Wayne ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

It has to be fate. The paper stops in 1882 and starts again in 1884. They may add more later. One of best gossipy papers for that time period I have ever read and lots of obits for the area which was unusual for that period. Here is what I have on John. I can't tie him to the riverboat Capt. Samuel who operated under Beatty and Thompson. Too many Samuels in that area at that time. Wish I knew if the Northumberland co., PA referenced was the present boundaries or the 1790's boundaries (1/4 of the state of PA) Donna L-3 Descendants of John Beatty Generation No. 1 1.

ECR1:75/ Scioto Co., Ohio XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxx A HISTORY OF SCIOTO COUNTY, OHIO - Together With A PIONEER RECORD of SOUTHERN OHIO by Nelson W. Evans, A.M. pg. 584 1903 Porter Township This township has the honor of being the first settled in Scioto County. In the month of February, 1796, Samuel Marshall came from Manchester, Adams County, and built a small cabin just above where New Boston now stands and within the present limits of Porter Township. In the following month John Lindsey also moved from Manchester, to a point on the Ohio near the mouth of the Little Scioto River. ....In the previous year, 1795, came Isaac Bonser, who had been sent out by a number of persons living in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, to select a site for a home in the North-west Territory. The next spring, five families, those of Isaac Bonser, Uriah Barber, John Beatty, William Ward and Ephraim Thomas set out to settle on the site selected by Mr. Bonser, the year before. It is claimed by some to be the first attempt at settlement in Porter Township for the reason that Mr. Bonser selected his place of settlement before Marshall and Lindsey came from Manchester in Adams County. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX The Portsmouth Times (Portsmouth, OH)-2 August 1873 THE EARLY SETTLEMENT OF SCIOTO COUNTY. (Prepared to be read before the Pioneer Association of Scioto county, by James Keyes) ....................beginning of article omitted............... THE SECOND ARRIVAL Of settlers in Scioto county, who came to stay, consisted of five families, who came from Northumberland county, Pennsylvania, they built a boat at Redstone, on the Monongahela and floated down the Ohio and landed in the mouth of Little Scioto on the 10th day of August, 1796. The names of these were Isaac Bonser, Uriah Barber, John Beatty, William Ware, and Ephraim M'Adams. This last did not stay long, but went on down to Cinncinatti. Of the other four families, some of their desendants are scattered through the county to this day. Mr. Barber went down to what was called Old Town, west of the Scioto, and lived near where George Davis' distillery is. Mr. Bonser built a house on the east side of the Little Scioto, which was the third house built in the county. He also cleared and fenced a small field that fall and winter, and the next year being 1797, raised THE FIRST CROP OF CORN IN SCIOTO COUNTY. That crop of corn must have been a welcome harvest to those few isolated families, who were cut off from all intercourse with the outside world, and had no other provisions but such as the woods afforded and their trusty rifles procured for them. Mr. Ward went up the creek and located on Ward's run, a tributary of the Little Scioto. It was not called Ward's Run until he went there. It was the custom of that day, where a creek had no name to give it the name of the first man who went to live on it. Mr. Ward lived there long enough to give his name to the creek, but, unfortunately, got drowned, and was the first man buried in Scioto county. They buried him in the graveyard where the bridge crosses the creek, near the mouth, and it was consequently, the first graveyard in our county. We hear no more of Mr. Ward's family since that time. John Beaty went up towards Wheelersburg and located, but he soon fell a victim to the malaria of the county, and was the first man to die a natural death in Scioto county. His widow was left with four small children in a destitute condition, but, as is always the case in every new country, men are much more numerous than women, and much more necessity existing for entering the state of matrimony. Therefore, she soon married a man by the name of Alexander Burnside, a man who came a short time afterward. Mr. Burnside had some means, and had been distilling on the Monongahela river, and had brought a small copper still down with him. He bought the land where Wheelersburg has since been located. He built THE FIRST HORSE MILL. And the first distillery, on the ground at present occupied by Cranston's woolen factory. He raised his step-children, and one of the girl's married a man by the name of Leary, and one, Susan Beaty, married Joseph Thompson. Alexander Beaty married Ruth Drury for his first wife, and Cecilia Lecroix, by whom he had three children, who are living near Haverhill at this time. Mr. Burnside had three children, Jane, John and Martin. Jane married Pontius Wheeler. Mr. Bonser, seeing the necessity for a mill, in 1798, after being in the county two years, discovered a seat for a mill on a small tributary of the Little Scioto, which he named Bonser's Run, being the first man to settle upon that stream. ----------- >From "Ohio Wills and Estates To 1850: An Index" by Carol Willsey Bell, C.
