A copy of the article was given to me in 1990 by a local Beatty family that I did not think was related until a few days ago. > > > > CITY OF MASSILLON, page 659 > > > > H. BEATTY, coal business, Massillon; was born in Franklin Co., Penn., Dec. 16 1816, the fifth of a family of eight children, born to James and Mary (Kate) Beatty. James was born in the north of Ireland and settled in Baltimore, having four sons: James, John, Robert , and Hugh. > > > > The Beatty family came west in 1818, located in Kendal, but afterward moved across the river on to Judge Henry's farm, where they lived thirteen years, and then, moved to Lawrence Twp., where he had purchased land, and lived there until his death, which occurred in 1848; his wife died when our subject was small. They had a family of ten children, eight of whom grew to maturity: George, John, Hannah, James, Henry, Sarah, Jonathan, and Mary. Our subject had but poor school advantages, and remained at home until he was 21 years of age; he then learned the coopers' trade in Jackson Twp., at which he worked until 1850, running a shop of his own, when he went to California and worked at mining; returning in 1852, he engaged in the grocery and provision business, at which he continued twenty-seven years, retiring from the same in 1880. > > > > For several years past, Mr. Beatty has been engaged in the coal business. He was married in 1853 to Agnes Tinkler, born in England, and died in 1871, leaving three children: Harry T., Orrin C., and Mary E. He married, as his second wife, Jane Roberts, born in Indiana Co., Penn., whose parents were from England. He is a member of all the Masonic organizations, and has been interested in the political issues of the day, being a true Republican. > > > > > > ==== BP2000 Mailing List ==== > Recommend a cousin !
