Philip M. Beatie, Company "B" & D 1st KY Cavalry (certificate # 1036180); Widow Almira Beatie (application # 720, 121); widow Elizabeth Beatie (application # 556,158). [This is a very long and complicated file. I did not copy all of it.] On May 7, 1900 Almira Beatie, aged 35 and a resident of New Albany, Floyd County, Indiana filed a widow's claim for pension. She states that she is the widow of Philip M. Beatie who enlisted on March 1, 1863 in Company "B" 1st Kentucky Cavalry in the late war of the Rebellion and who died April 22, 1900. She was married to Philip M. Beatie on the 20th day of February 1892 in Jeffersonville, Indiana; her name before marriage was Almira Chandler. She has one child under the age of 16: Lillie born June 16, 1887. She states that "soldier had an application on file at date of death #508622 under act of June 27, 1890." A copy of her marriage license is in the file. A copy of the marriage Bond for Philip M. Batey to Mary F. Duggins is in this file. It was issued at Danville, Boyd County, Kentucky on December 21, 1867. The certificate of the officiating minister does not appear in the record. Almira Beatie makes the following statement, June 27, 1890: "That she is the widow of Philip M. Beatie the above named soldier and in reply to paragraph 2 of department call which is herewith witnessed she states ?? that she is unable to furnish a verified copy of the public or church record of the marriage of soldier to his first wife as the record appears to be incomplete and she is unable to find any person who was present at the marriage, neither does she know of the whereabouts of the officiating officer who solemnized said marriage and the only testimony she can give in lieu of said evidence is the testimony of Lucy Veaticle (?) who was well acquainted with said first wife and viewed her remains after death and assisted in preparing her body for burial which testimony shows that said first wife of soldier died on the 6th day of July 1890 which was prior to his marriage to Almira Beatie, the above named claimant. She also submits the sworn testimony of W. G. Dunlap the undertaker who buried the remains of said first wife of soldier showing that she was buried on the 7th day July 1890 (which was the next day after her death). Claimant was married to soldier on the 20th day of February 1892 as shown by certified copy of record which is forwarded in this case herewith." On Oct. 24, 1918 Elizabeth Baty of Whetstone P. O., Cumberland County, Kentucky files a declaration for widow's pension. She states that she is the widow of Philip M. Baty who enlisted in the 1st Kentucky Cavalry and who died around 1900 in Indiana. She states that she married Philip Baty on Aug. 2, 1865 at Livingston, Overton County, Tennessee and that her name before marriage was Elizabeth Smith. (There is an earlier filing of a claim which I did not copy) Enoch C. Smith of Cumberland County, Kentucky states that he has been acquainted with affiant Elizabeth Beaty all of her life and that she is 79 years old. He states that he knows "of his own personal knowledge that the said Elizabeth Beaty was married to the said Philip M. Beaty, affiant also states that he was present and saw the clerk issue the marriage license and saw the Magistrate perform the marriage ceremony at Livingston, Overton County Tenn. about the year 1864 and that they lived together as husband and wife during a part of the civil war, affiant further states that the said Philip M. Beaty after living with the said Elizabeth Beaty for about two years abandoned her and that she has not seen (line cut off) this claim and that he is a brother of Elizabeth Beaty but that fact would not and does not influence him in the least in making this statement." Wid. Orig. 556158 Elizabeth Beatie now Parish, alleged widow Philip M. Beatie, D & B 1 KY V. Cav. P. O. Whet Stone, Cumberland Co., Ky. Office of Special Examiner of Pensions Lexington, Ky. June 23rd, 1909 Sir: I have the honor to return the papers in the above cited claim and to submit my report thereon. Soldier was not pensioned during life, but Pension under Act of June 27, 1890 was paid his alleged widow, Almira Beatie, New Albany, Indiana, based on the fact of inability to earn support by soldier from Dec. 28, 1899 to April 22, 1900. Claim of this alleged widow was rejected, not having married soldier till after passage, Act June 27, '90. Almira Beatie is now dead. Claimant Elizabeth Beatie filed claim in 1892 but effort was not then made to determine fact that soldier was husband of Claimant, and claim was abandoned till Dec. 18, 1908. Claim was referred to S. E. Division to determine identity of husband of this Claimant with Soldier, Marriage &c. Came to me, notice waived with instructions to see Abe L. McAnelly, comrade of Frankfort, Ky., to do my best to get some clue that will enable the Bureau to get at the facts. I at once noticed that fact that Jas. Nat Williams is of List of Comrades with Claim, and as he is said to be a witness to Marriage, and his whereabouts not known to Claimant, and his address wanted, it is strange List was not read to Claimant and Address of Jim Nat Williams noted. Bailey P. Smith, of list is son of Squire Hardy Smith, said to have been the man who performed the marriage ceremony in Tenn., and the Claimant and her brothers beyond doubt knew Bailey P., or "Peyton Smith." Comrade McAnelly is I think a straight honest man, and rate him good for truth in this matter in hand. He knew these girls, Henrietta and Lizzie Smith, was taken to see them by Philip M. Beatie, and he says the Company was at one time placed to guard property of Squire Hardy Smith, in Overton Co., Tenn., that Beatie was with them, that Peyton was son of Squire Smith and there were three daughters, two about grown and one little girl. He says after the return from this detail, about Summer of 1865 the soldier Beatie was said to have run off to Tenn. and married Lizzie Smith. He recalled this well and he identified the picture as P. M. Beatie, his comrade. He knew Beatie after the war, knew of his marriage to Mary Duggins or Dugan and of her death, and he was told by soldier of marrying again in New Albany, Ind. He says he spoke to Beatie after the war about Lizzie, asked if he did not marry her and have baby by her, and Beatie laughed but evaded question in such a way, that he accounted it an admission, and he had really known it before, at least of report and admissions at time. McAnelly names those of list that he thinks can tell all about it. He says this reported marriage which undoubtedly took place as stated by Elizabeth Parish, Claimant was after May 1865, and her original statement of Marriage and birth of baby was undoubtedly correct. She believed Beatie was from Georgia, but truth is he was from Georgia by having been in service in 1st Ky., Cav., there and this before May 1865. He came from Lincoln Co., Ky. And probably from Millegeville, Ky. There seems little question that Beatie married this Claimant, and he had no idea of acknowledging her after discharge from service, but I am rather under impression that she knew more of him after the war than she admitted to Special Examiner... After taking deposition of McAnelly, in an extended talk on War times, he told me that Beatie was a great man after women, that one was never with him any length of time that he did not go off on this subject, was "daffy on it he expressed it." He told me that there was a rumor in Service, long before their Company went to Burksville Cumberland Co., Ky., that Beatie was married. He could not give me enough data or had not enough belief in report to testify to it, but this is what he told me. As he believed it was in Hancock Co., Tenn., was not far from Strawberry Plains, at about Blains Cross Roads, that Beatie got in with a loose woman, and it was reported they married, but the Company was only there a few days, and he does not think there was anything in this, but told me the talk so Bureau could have his best aid in proper adjudication of claim of Lizzie Parrish. I find that Str awberry Plains is in Jefferson Co., and Blaine in Grainger Co., both near Hancock Co., Tenn., so I would here suggest that after those above suggested shall have been seen, and fully questioned as to Smith marriage, and also this other escapade in eastern Tenn., that claim go to "Hancock, Grainger and Jefferson Co.", Tenn., in for search of marriage records for any Marriage of Philip M. Beatie to any woman, this after Jan. 1863 when Beatie enlisted and before May 1865 when he went to Burksville, Cumberland Co., Ky., where he doubtless married Lizzie Smith. Respectfully submitted, Percy S. Crowe Special Examiner Excerpts from Elizabeth Beatie Parish's deposition (June 3, 1909): "My age is 63 years..When I last saw Mr. Beatie he was not complaining of being injured or wounded in the service. When I saw him last he just said he was going to see his parents & I think he said he was coming back to me. No we didn't have any falling out; he didn't say anything about quitting me. I was always good to him & he would be good to me. I met Allen Dickens in Burkville, Ky. some time in 1865 & he told me Mr. Beatie he thought had died or got killed some where down about Columbia (??) Tenn. but he didn't say where he heard or learned it. That is the only account I ever got of Mr. Beatie after he left me in 1864 or 1865..I have none of Mr. Beatie's letters he wrote me while he was in the army. I did have a small picture of his but it got lost some way..No sir, he didn't say where he was living when he joined the army, but he left the impression on my mind that his parents lived in Georgia. No he didn't say what the given name of his parents were..I was married to Wm H. Parish must have been, now let me see, well say five or six years after the civil war wound up. Mr. Parish died about 20 years ago at my home and was buried near Whet Stone in the Old Orchard grave yard. You can see his grave -there is an old picket fence around his grave & a ?? ??? rock slab at breast of grave giving date of his death if you can make out the figures. You go right by the grave yard in going back to Burksville from here. Mr. Parish is said to have had a living wife when I married him near Henderson, Ky. but I didn't know it. Thomas Parish a son from Parish by his first wife came to see after his father died & he told me his father's first wife was then living, that neither had ever been divorced. I know Parish told me his mother took up with a man by the name of Monehan & that his father was left with the children-Thomas, William, Richard & there was a girl named Fannie. I never saw any of Mr. Parish children by the first wife except Thomas. He went from here to Indianapolis. I think Mr. Parish's first wife was Elizabeth Thrush before her marriage to Mr. Parish. I had five sons born to me by my second husband, all living -Geo B., Joseph, Dallas, ??, and John P. I only had one daughter by Philip M. Beatie, Joann. She was born about 10 or 11 months after my marriage to Mr. Beatie. She married Chas. Daniels & don't live far from me..I was born & reared within 3 miles of this place. I have never lived outside of Cumberland Co., Ky. My parents Britten & Edna Smith have been dead for many years. I had four brothers but two of them are dead. Enoch C. and Wm. M. live near me. I had seven sisters only one living, Sallie. She married a Nelson and now lives in Georges Creek Texas." [There is a great deal more in this Deposition-the story of their Courtship and marriage etc. There is quite a lot of information in Depositions by other members of Philip Beatie's unit and deposition of Elizabeth's brothers which I will not transcribe.] Excerpt from Deposition of Mrs. Hugh Coomer: "My father has two brothers living one Esquire Beaty lives in New Albany, Indiana; he knew all about my father & can tell you more about my father than anyone else. David Beaty lives at Muncie, Indiana. David is younger than Esquire Beaty. Yes the picture I show you is that of my father. He had the picture taken some years ago & it resembles my father very much as far back as I can remember. You can have the picture but please have it returned." [The picture was not in the file.] Deposition from Squire Beaty (May 25, 1909): His age is 61 years: P. O. New Albany, Indiana. I am a contractor. I was born at Somerset Pulaski Co. Ky. My parents (now dead) were William & Catherine Beaty some time spelled Beatie-my parents came from Lee Co., Va. to Kentucky years ago. There were eight of us children in all. Mary J., the oldest, is dead. Then come Philip M. & I was the third child. Philip M. & I were raised together up to the time he went off in the army some time in 1861, I think. He was about 18 years of age. Philip M. went off in Col. Woolford's regiment in Co. "D" first & then after Co. B of the first Ky. Cav. I think McClain was his Capt. & his Lieut was Cal Somme (??) Philip came home three times while he was in the army twice on furlough but I can't remember the time. When Philip enlisted we then lived on the Standford Pike about 5 miles from Danville, Ky. Philip M. came home after being mustered out of service we then lived at Shelby Co., Ky four miles from Danville. My father & Philip were teamsters for some time hauling goods & lumber or the like from Danville to Shelby City, Ky. until Philip got married to Mary Duggins at Danville & then moved to Danville & lived there till his wife died some time in 1890 & then he came to this place, New Albany, Indiana & drove a street car for some time & worked for me part of the time. Philip died on 22 day of April 1990. Philip was married the second time to Almira Chandler & she died in about 2 years after Philip died. Philip had six children by his first wife & none by the second wife. No sir, I never heard of my brother Philip M. being married to any one prior to time he married Mary Duggins.he usually told me about his secrets." Elizabeth Beatie Parish was denied a pension. There is a long document in the file reviewing the marriage laws of Kentucky and Indiana concluding "The claimant Almira is recognized by the Bureau as soldiers widow for pensionable purposes, which fact precludes the recognition of any other woman in that statue." 1860, Burksville, Cumberland Co., KY p625 Britton Smith 62 VA Edieth M.
