I am reading microfilm of a Nashville Newspaper, "The Nashville Republican" for the year 1835-39 and there are many mentions of Mr. Beaty, Representative from Fentress County in the TN House of Representatives. In an issue dated Aug. 25, 1835 there is a list of elected officials: "David Beaty elected as Representative to Tennessee State from Fentress County." I wondered if anyone from L2 had checked for a Biographical Dictionary of early TN elected officials? Laurel Baty, L252
