Thanks, Les This is L-1. Donna L-3 >From deeds etc. Otho Holland Williams was quite a land speculator-there were so many Otho Holland Williams I could never quite figure them out. This might be correct. The Grosh family is probably the same family -Elie Beatty's mother was Mary Dorthea Grosh.

This was a Bowie family bible. One of the Bowie's married a Beatty. Pasted below are some notes from this bible. Both Thomas Bowie and his wife, Elizabeth Beatty Bowie, are buried in Union Cemetery, Rockville, MD. John Bowie, Thomas's father, came from Scotland in 1705 and settled in MD. Presumably the Beattys lived in MD also. It is curious that they joined the Confederate Army. Anyway, I don't know what lineage Eli and Edward Beatty might be. But, I would be happy to scan and email these pages to anyone interested. Les Beaty, L-20 Thomas Bowie, son of John Bowie, Sr. B. 1722, married Hannah Lee d. 1755.
