Many thanks to Laurel for sending me copies of the Widow's Pension documents. Many things in the content were know but I do need some assistance from fellow Beatty researchers from the Trenton, Mercer County, NJ area. A brother, Howard Beatty, made an oath from Mercer County, Trenton, NJ to attest to his brother Benjamin's service in the War of 1812. Is anyone familiar with this brother who is alive the 27th day of July 1852? Another interesting fact was that Benjamin's wife was Margaretta Bachman, not Margaret Miller as transcribed from baptism records from St. John's Lutheran Church in Easton, PA. They had been married in the same church April 18th, 1819. Margaret also received two land warrants for 49 and 100 acres, location unknown. She claimed she resided in Easton her entire life. The sad part is that no reference is given to location of his birth, the marriage record was used as certified proof plus the depositions to claim her widow's pension. I find this information fascinating...right next to my originals of great-grandparents immigration records. Jayne L366
