Hi Lois, I was thinking the same thing about the 5 sons dying in the Rev War or even an Indian War or massacre. Do you have any male descendants of James Lewis Baty that would be willing to have their DNA tested? You might make a lot of connections this way. A lot of the lineages seem to have early ancestors with multiple brothers.

I am wondering if the former family historians in my own family might have confused Chattooga, GA with Chattanooga, Tennessee. The thrilling thing for me is that, yes, I have connected with two more generations of James Beattys just a week ago, but I am saddened to have to give up the family legend that my James Lewis Beatty IV was the oldest of seven sons, five of whom perished at the Battle of Chattanooga...or was it the battle of Chickamauga? One is in Georgia and the other one is in Kentucky. Well, I discovered that at the bottom of Incline Mountain in Chattanooga, Tennessee, there is a Chickamauga Chattanooga Historical Park. Now, I see a Thomas and James Beatty, who were Rev. War veterans. What if our family legend story was about the Revolutionary War and not the Civil War? > > I found a copy of a census image a week ago and did not remember where I found it, and the year or the city, county, state were not on it.
