Putting info together on this James Beatty. I suspect the pension file may have an error because the James of Coshocton co., OH is also mentioned in another James Beatty RW pension file. Trying to find where to look for the will or admin. of this James. Possibly a few papers may have been put in the wrong file. I think the James, John, and Samuel Beatty of Newton twp. are some of his children, Samuel being born after the will but shown on 1810 census as a fifth son. Is this part of a known lineage? Robert Quigley Beattie of Richland co., OH is shown as another son on Ancestry. Is anyone working on this Cumberland co., PA family?
