I just have to respond to this one, because, just yesterday, I tried to e-mail a Carol Shuey from the family of my great-great-grandfather's brother, and her e-mail address has evidently changed. We corresponded a year or so ago. She saw my online tree and pointed out that I had her great-grandmother's name as Mae Edith NORTON, when it should be Mae Edith MORTON. The name MORTON caught my eye under the "Notes for Wilson Beaty," and on the list are two WILSON names and the Michigan connection. "Maynard Morton 27 clerk in store Michigan" I know that I have been advised to give up any part of our family legend that connects any of our Beatty or Beaty family with Kentucky, but it is difficult to do that just yet! There is nothing wrong with keeping my eyes and ears open, right? This will be our new lineage #39 after we merge these lineage numbers: L-39, L-134, and L-407 I. James BEATY^1, b. abt 1757, Ireland - four sons, James^2 (L-134, Sue Knost and L-407, Karen Branning), John^2, Hugh^2, Robert^2 (L-134, now, Julie Miller) Nothing is known about Hugh BEATY. A. James BEATY^2, b. 02 May 1782, Ireland, d. 19 August 1849, Massillon, Stark Co., OH., m. 1st, Ann Marie KAHL/KEHL, m. 2ND, Anna CLAYMAN - there are a lot of WILSON names in the family of this James' son George. (L-134, Sue Knost, Julie Miller and now, L-407, Karen Branning.) James Lewis BEATY^3/Ann Maria WILCOX - (L-39, Lois Kortering and Jack Beatty) - there are SNYDER names connected to this James L. BEATY as witnesses in his attempt to get a disability pension after the Civil War. Brother of my g-g-grandfather, James Lewis Beaty^3: William Henry Beaty^3/Mary Jane Gould-the first-born and the last-born of 13 stayed in Walkerton, St. Joseph Co., IN. The others all moved out west, including Jesse James Beaty. Wm. Henry was buried next to his father, James Lewis Beaty, in Greenwood Cem., Walkerton. Jesse James Beaty^4/Mae Edith Morton - there is a marriage to a SNYDER.. B. John Beaty C. Hugh Beaty D. Robert Beaty - (L-134, now, Julie Miller) The name MORTON has been on my mind, because we also have NORTONS, and if I made that mistake once by spelling NORTON as MORTON, I might have done it more than once. I have seen both names connected with a few BEATTY families.
