I have a photocopy of several pages of an old bible I found in the Albuquerque, NM Special Collections Library several years ago. 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.
