*Beatley, William, Corpl., Capt. James H. Sowers Co., Va. Mil., July 6 or Aug 16, 1813 Jan. 10, 1814; 1851, 1855, 1871, Winchester, Frederick Co. Va.; Dischg certf. in brief Widow Elizabeth Loyer; married 1817, near Winchester, Va. This is a confusing one because the name Beatley is spelled many ways in the documents, including Beatty and Beattey. The second "t" is frequently not crossed but then again, the first "t" is just as often not crossed --however the second "t" or "l" is frequently open in appearance so I really could not say for certain if this man is a Beatty or a Beatley. Highlights: William Beatty (?) is 61, in March next, in Feb. 1851 and a resident of Frederick County, VA. He enlisted at Newtown Stephensburg Frederick County VA in 1812 and marched from Winchester VA. There is an original discharge slip in the file. In 1855 he is a resident of "Buckley lately of Frederick" In 1871 William Beattey resides in Frederick Co., VA and is 81. He declares his wife's name is Elizabeth Loyer and that he was married near Winchester in 1817, and she is now dead. Laurel Baty, L252
