In the 1820 Washington Co NY census 3 Beatties are listed. In 1830, 1840, and 1850 NO Beatties are listed. All of a sudden in 1870 there are 98 , of all ages and all born in NY. I know this spelling problem occurs often, but to eliminate a whole family for 40 years sounds more like "surname genocide" !! No wonder Washington Co is such a puzzle. It almost seems like a vendetta by the enumerators. Has anyone investigated this and how it would affect line #s. Bruce Lawton L-464

I wonder if they were clustered together, could they have been carved off into another county? On the other hand, I have only 26 households of that exact spelling listed in Wash. Co. in 1870. Maybe there was a census/indexing problem? Are you sure you are looking at complete 1830-1850 indexes? --- bruce lawton <vlawton@astound.net> wrote: > In the 1820 Washington Co NY census 3 Beatties > are listed.

Laurel posted a co. hist. a while ago and I used that and posted info and census and IGI and Ancestry and came up with this: Descendants of Thomas Beaty Generation No. 1 1. THOMAS1 BEATY Notes for THOMAS BEATY: >From "History Of Washington Co., New York With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches Of Some of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers" Philadelphia, Everts & Ensign, 1878 The Two pages of this Biography are unnumbered - it includes drawings of S. Beaty, Ebenezer Beaty, William J. Beaty and the residence of Wm J. Beaty, Salem, Washington County, New York Samuel Beaty was born where he now resides, in the town of Salem, Washington, Co., N. Y., February 25, 1807. The Beaty family traces descent to Thomas Beaty, who emigrated from Ireland, in the year 1767, October, with his wife and five children, David, Jean, Thomas, Samuel, and William, leaving one son, John, who was married, in Ireland. The family settled first in Salem, and hence were among the earliest pioneers of this part of Washington county. The ancestry were of Scotch descent, and emigrated to Ireland on account of religious persecution in Scotland. The great-grandfather erected his log-cabin in the wilderness on the lot he had taken up, the greater part of which, with the assistance of his boys, he cleared. He lived to be eighty-three years of age, and died where he had settled. John, the grandfather, with his wife and daughter, Jane, emigrated from Ireland the same year as his father, and, after a voyage of seventeen weeks, first settled in Pennsylvania, where he remained for about two years, where he earned money enough, as a common laborer, to get to Washington ! county, town of Salem, where he arrived and erected his log shanty in the woods in the year 1769, taking up one lot of land. He erected his second log cabin in the year 1772, which, at the time of writing this sketch, 1878, is still standing, and the property owned by one of the grandchildren, Wm. J. The early history of this family in meeting the obstacles of settlement in a new country; the slow but sure development from scanty means to pecuniary competence and comfortable surroundings; the raising of a large family; the consequent dread and fear by the presence of Indians and the march of Burgoyne, with incidents connected with the embarrassments under which settlers were placed at that time, would fill a volume, and can only be briefly referred to in this narrative. The result of the labor of the grandfather in buildings and surroundings, are to-day as he left them, except their natural decay. John Beaty lived on the spot where he first settled during the balance of! his life; after his settlement, was a farmer by occupation. He recei ved a very limited education from books in his youth, but gained by observation and business experience what he was wanting in early education. He was a man of unquestioned integrity in all his business transactions; was warmly attached to the best interests building up churches and schools in the town; was a member of the Associate reformed Presbyterian church at Salem, established by Dr. Clark in 1765. he died in his seventy-seventh year, May 20, 1817, leaving a wife and nine children (Jane having died while young). His wife, whose maiden name was Grizzy McRaebert, died in the year 1828, at the age of eighty-two. John, father of the subject of this memoir, and eighth child of this family, was born in January, 1784. Married for his first wife Mary Beaty, by whom he had five children -Samuel, John, Jane, Mary G., and Ebenezer. The mother of these children was a woman of great courage and resolution to do what she conceived to be right, possessing great decision of character. She died in 1835. For his second wife he married Agnes McCoy, of Argyle, by whom he had one son, William J., who now resides on the old homestead. The father spent his life after the year 1818, for the next thirty years, as a merchant in Salem village; previous to which, and subsequently, he was a farmer. Was never solicitous of any notoriety by way of political preferment, but was prominent in the councils of the church of his choice, the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church at Salem, in which he was an elder for about thirty years. He died at the age of (nearly) seventy, in the years 1853. The second wife died in the year 1867. Samuel Beaty spent his minority as a clerk in the store of his father at Salem. Was married in the year 1830, to Hannah D., daughter of Judge Rising, of West Rupert, Vt. By this union he has two surviving children, -- Mary L., and Ebenezer. His wife died May 14, 1839. For his second wife Mr. Beaty married Lemira S. Harwood, daughter of Perez Harwood, of Bennington, Vt., by whom he had one daughter, -- Lemira M. The second wife died October 14, 1844. For his last wife he married Fanny J., daughter of Henry Harwood, of Bennington, Vt., by whom he has 3 surviving children, -- Abby A., Henry H., and Jenny Bell. The mother of these children died November 19, 1873. Mr. Beaty has followed the occupation of a farmer and is ranked among the successful agriculturists of the county. Mr. Beaty cast his first vote for President of the United States for John Quincy Adams. Was a member of the old Whig party, and since the organization of the Republican party has been an ardent supporter of its principles until the year 1872, when he became a liberal and independent voter. It is a fact worthy of note here that the political principles held by the ancestry are still firmly adhered to by the great-grandchildren. Characteristic of Mr. Beaty are his strong temperance proclivities; his firmness in decision in all matters in which he is interested; his indefatigable resolution to carry forward to a successful issue any measure receiving his attention; his kindness in his family, and sociality with his friends. Ebenezer Beaty was born December 8, 1819. During his early life was a clerk in his father's store at Salem, and subsequently became a partner. The latter part of his life was spent as a farmer on the old homestead. He was n ever married. He died January 1, 1879. His portrait, with his brother William J.'s, will be found above a view of the old homestead first settled by the grandfather. William J. Beaty was born October 26, 1838; occupies and owns the old homestead; married Mrs. Mary Jane, widow of the late Robert Hunter (who was a soldier of the war, and deceased), and a daughter of John Denison, of Salem. They have three children, -- Agnes McCoy, Frank, and Fanny J.

Notes for NANCY BEATY: Few families in Washington county can trace a more ancient lineage than the McNaughtons (back more than 800 years). Among the first of the clan to come to this country was Alexander McNaughton of Argyllshire, landing in the city of New York in 1738 in the company of Laughlin Campbell, which emigrated that year. He brought with him his wife, Mayon McEuen, and children born in Scotland, viz: John; Moses; Jeanette, and Florence. He settled at New Windsor in the county of Orange, while awaiting the long delay in obtaining the grant of the patent of Argyle. Alexander raised the son (Malcom) of his brother Duncan. Duncan was left in Scotland. Malcomb was born in Argyllshire, Scotland, was raised in the family of his uncle Alexander and later settled in Salem and there remained till about 1795 when he moved to Argyle. His wife was Catherine and their first child was Alexander, who married NANCY, a daughter of JOHN BEATY and Grace McRoberts. Nancy died May 23, 1854, at the age of eighty four years. Alexander and Nancy's third child was also named Malcom and he married to SUSANNA BEATY, a daughter of SAMUEL BEATY and Jane Bell. Malcom, the son, died October 5, 1867, aged seventy years, nine months and ten days, and SUSANNA died March 3, 1876, aged seventy five years, eleven months and twenty one days. They had a son James B. McNaughton, who married Miss McKerrecher, and dying, he married secondly, Miss McDougall. The sixth child of Alexander and Nancy was Jane McNaughton, who married Deacon David B. Thompson, long a memer of the session of the United Presbyterian Church, Salem. He was a son of David Thompson and, GRACE BEATY, a daughter of JOHN BEATY, SENIOR, and Grace McRoberts; and a granddaughter of THOMAS BEATY the ancestor of the family in Salem. The eighth child of Alexander and Nancy was Nancy McNaughton and she married JOHN H. BEATTIE, a son of SAMUEL BEATTIE, JR. and ELIZABETH BEATY, a daughter of JOHN BEATY SENIOR and Grace McRoberts. SAMUEL BEATY JR. was a son of SAMUEL BEATY SR. and Jane, and grandson of THOMAS BEATY, who was among the early settlers of Salem. JOHN H. BEATTIE died Nov. 1, 1882, aged seventy years.

Notes for SAMUEL BEATY: >From "History Of Washington Co., New York With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches Of Some of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers" Philadelphia, Everts & Ensign, 1878 The Two pages of this Biography are unnumbered - it includes drawings of S. Beaty, Ebenezer Beaty, William J. Beaty and the residence of Wm J. Beaty, Salem, Washington County, New York Samuel Beaty was born where he now resides, in the town of Salem, Washington, Co., N. Y., February 25, 1807. The Beaty family traces descent to Thomas Beaty, who emigrated from Ireland, in the year 1767, October, with his wife and five children, David, Jean, Thomas, Samuel, and William, leaving one son, John, who was married, in Ireland. The family settled first in Salem, and hence were among the earliest pioneers of this part of Washington county. The ancestry were of Scotch descent, and emigrated to Ireland on account of religious persecution in Scotland. The great-grandfather erected his log-cabin in the wilderness on the lot he had taken up, the greater part of which, with the assistance of his boys, he cleared. He lived to be eighty-three years of age, and died where he had settled. John, the grandfather, with his wife and daughter, Jane, emigrated from Ireland the same year as his father, and, after a voyage of seventeen weeks, first settled in Pennsylvania, where he remained for about two years, where he earned money enough, as a common laborer, to get to Washington ! county, town of Salem, where he arrived and erected his log shanty in the woods in the year 1769, taking up one lot of land. He erected his second log cabin in the year 1772, which, at the time of writing this sketch, 1878, is still standing, and the property owned by one of the grandchildren, Wm. J. The early history of this family in meeting the obstacles of settlement in a new country; the slow but sure development from scanty means to pecuniary competence and comfortable surroundings; the raising of a large family; the consequent dread and fear by the presence of Indians and the march of Burgoyne, with incidents connected with the embarrassments under which settlers were placed at that time, would fill a volume, and can only be briefly referred to in this narrative. The result of the labor of the grandfather in buildings and surroundings, are to-day as he left them, except their natural decay. John Beaty lived on the spot where he first settled during the balance of! his life; after his settlement, was a farmer by occupation. He recei ved a very limited education from books in his youth, but gained by observation and business experience what he was wanting in early education. He was a man of unquestioned integrity in all his business transactions; was warmly attached to the best interests building up churches and schools in the town; was a member of the Associate reformed Presbyterian church at Salem, established by Dr. Clark in 1765. he died in his seventy-seventh year, May 20, 1817, leaving a wife and nine children (Jane having died while young). His wife, whose maiden name was Grizzy McRaebert, died in the year 1828, at the age of eighty-two. John, father of the subject of this memoir, and eighth child of this family, was born in January, 1784. Married for his first wife Mary Beaty, by whom he had five children -Samuel, John, Jane, Mary G., and Ebenezer. The mother of these children was a woman of great courage and resolution to do what she conceived to be right, possessing great decision of character. She died in 1835. For his second wife he married Agnes McCoy, of Argyle, by whom he had one son, William J., who now resides on the old homestead. The father spent his life after the year 1818, for the next thirty years, as a merchant in Salem village; previous to which, and subsequently, he was a farmer. Was never solicitous of any notoriety by way of political preferment, but was prominent in the councils of the church of his choice, the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church at Salem, in which he was an elder for about thirty years. He died at the age of (nearly) seventy, in the years 1853. The second wife died in the year 1867. Samuel Beaty spent his minority as a clerk in the store of his father at Salem. Was married in the year 1830, to Hannah D., daughter of Judge Rising, of West Rupert, Vt. By this union he has two surviving children, -- Mary L., and Ebenezer. His wife died May 14, 1839. For his second wife Mr. Beaty married Lemira S. Harwood, daughter of Perez Harwood, of Bennington, Vt., by whom he had one daughter, -- Lemira M. The second wife died October 14, 1844. For his last wife he married Fanny J., daughter of Henry Harwood, of Bennington, Vt., by whom he has 3 surviving children, -- Abby A., Henry H., and Jenny Bell. The mother of these children died November 19, 1873. Mr. Beaty has followed the occupation of a farmer and is ranked among the successful agriculturists of the county. Mr. Beaty cast his first vote for President of the United States for John Quincy Adams. Was a member of the old Whig party, and since the organization of the Republican party has been an ardent supporter of its principles until the year 1872, when he became a liberal and independent voter. It is a fact worthy of note here that the political principles held by the ancestry are still firmly adhered to by the great-grandchildren. Characteristic of Mr. Beaty are his strong temperance proclivities; his firmness in decision in all matters in which he is interested; his indefatigable resolution to carry forward to a successful issue any measure receiving his attention; his kindness in his family, and sociality with his friends. Ebenezer Beaty was born December 8, 1819. During his early life was a clerk in his father's store at Salem, and subsequently became a partner. The latter part of his life was spent as a farmer on the old homestead. He was never married. He died January 1, 1879. His portrait, with his brother William J.'s, will be found above a view of the old homestead first settled by the grandfather. William J. Beaty was born October 26, 1838; occupies and owns the old homestead; married Mrs. Mary Jane, widow of the late Robert Hunter (who was a soldier of the war, and deceased), and a daughter of John Denison, of Salem. They have three children, -- Agnes McCoy, Frank, and Fanny J. [If anyone would like a scan of the drawings that accompany this article, let me know.--Laurel Baty, L252] Notes for LEMIRA S.
