His mother’s maiden name was Louisa Massa, those present at the marriage were the following named persons (all of Halls Valley): Richard Massa, Robert McFarland, John Beatty, Enos Sprague & Joseph Sprague.” He also states “I had a Bible record of his (Elisha, Jr.’s) birth but the Bible with the rest of my books was burned in my house about two years ago…Louisa Beatty died Oct. 2, 1855 at Flora, Athens County, Ohio. I had a record of her death in my Bible, but that was also burned in my house, Polly Worthin of Flora Athens Co, Ohio, or Chester Meigs Co., Ohio, Mary Frost of Flora Athens, Ohio also Maria Worthin and Mary Henry of Flora, Athens Co. Ohio were present when she died….I have no property of any kind, no real estate, no stock, not even a dog…Myself and wife (second wife, not mother of soldier) and my 19 year old daughter constitutes my family….Thomas & James Beatty of Limerick Jackson Co.

It is Volume A – a genuine marriage record of Morgan County, Ohio. The newspaper publisher had it publishing some notices of early marriages that took place in this county. I have made inquiry for Foster Edwards, Richard Massay, Robert McFarland and John Beatty formerly of Halls Valley in Morgan County, Ohio and old residents from the section have reliably informed me that these persons are dead. Enos Sprague and Joseph Sprague, if living their whereabouts are unknown to the old residents of Halls Valley, Ohio.” A certified copy of the marriage record shows that Elisha Beatty and Louisa Massay were married April 21, 1836 in Morgan County, Ohio. In March of 1894 Sarah A. Beatty states “I am daughter in law of Elisha Beatty; my husband and Elisha Beatty (Jr.) being brothers…..I am sure he died of consumption; because he had complained of his lungs and had such a cough before this. Then several members of the family have died of consumption, I am informed….He was so delirious and crazy that I had to lock the door to keep him indoors. He would talk about his comrades and about the war…He was a very quiet nice boy…” 1850, Athens County Ohio, Canaan Township, page 35b Elisha Beatty 34 PA Louisa 33 OH William 14 Louisa J. 12 Hannah 10 Elisha 7 Almira 3 Margaret 7/12 Laurel Baty, L252
