>From "A History of Pulaski County Kentucky" Compiled by Alma Owens Tibbals, published by Grace Owens Moore, 1952 Page 22 The order below shows the large territory over which the courts of Pulaski County had jurisdiction, as this location of a mill dam is in Wayne County, near Monticello. September 24, 1799: on motion of Joshua Jones for leave to erect a dam in the Elk Spring Valley, he owning the land on one side there of the stream and Isaac Crabtree and ROBERT BEATY the proprietors of the land on the opposite side against which the said Joshua Jones wishes to abut his dam... Page 27 1800; John Beaty; 200 acres; Cumberland River Page 66 South of the Cumberland John Beaty, whose wife was Polly Forgey, owned the first farm below the river. He built a substantial two-story log house (this was later weather-boarded) with a large cellar kitchen which stands today. It has been occupied by his descendants all through the years, and is now the home of W. O. Newell II, a great-grandson...Adjoining the BEATY farm on the South Fork of the Cumberland was the John Long estate. Mr. Long, with the help of thirty slaves, ran a carding machine, a gristmill, a tannery, and a distillery. He reared a large family. But since he was an elder of the Presbyterian Church, his conscience condemned him, and eventually he stopped distilling.... Page 105 The following names appearing on the first record of the Pisgah Church are interesting because these people were among the founders of Pulaski County, and many living residents of the county today can trace their ancestry back to them. Samuel and Jean Newell, Archibald and Mary Woods, Margaret and George B. Cooper, Jane Fitzpatrick, John and Nancy Long, Robert Modrell, Polly Hunter, JOHN and MARY F. BEATY (Polly Forgey), Francis Aldridge, Margaret Bain, Margaret Fisher, Margaret Owens, Elizabeth Prather, Stephen Scott, Margaret Woods, William Cowen, Margaret Newell, Tobias and Sarah Brown Page 133 South of the Cumberland River, at Bronston, stands a house built by JOHN BEATTY before 1799 which was used as a lookout post by General Burnside during the Civil War. Page 134 Not far beyond, on the Mt. Vernon Road, a tree-fringed avenue leads to a fascinating old brick house, in earlier days known as the Evans place. At that time it was an imposing two-story brick, but fire damaged the second story which was not replaced. The inter-married families of Evans, BEATY, Farris, Ford, and Gilmore were associated with this house. Supposedly it was built by Josiah Evans who died in 1836. Page 190-191 "The Forty-Niners" ..."Among those who went from Pulaski County were: FOUNTAINE BEATY..Perhaps FOUNTAINE BEATY, who never married, was remembered longest. School children delighted in gathering around him when he and his dog made noon-hour rounds of the district schools, playing the fiddle and singing "Poor Old Maid" and "Barbara Allen." The writer was told these men made the homeward trip by boat, sailing from San Francisco, coming by Trinidad and the Gulf of Mexico, then up the Mississippi River and home. This means they came by Cape Horn (unlikely) or crossed the Isthmus of Panama on foot, then took a boat bound for Trinidad, and thence home." page 205 The War of 1812 A third company was formed by Captain Samuel Tate, as follows: Roll of Captain Samuel Tate's Company of Pulaski County Kentucky Mounted Volunteer Militai 7th Regiment Commanded by Colonel Michael Taul Date and place of muster 8-23-1813; To what time engaged or enlisted 11/14/1813...
