Donna, I have the family bible pagesfor John Alexander Beaty and Susan Jane Beaty of Henry Co. Missouri. It shows John Alexanders's father as Abner Beaty and mother - Sarah Huff. William Travis did marry Sarah/Sally Pinnell, - a dau. of Fielding Pinnell-who first came to Saline Co. MO, as did William Travis Beaty,... then to Henry Co. Mo. I believe Fieding Pinnell was the first Co. Treasurer of Henry Co. William Travis Beaty came to Saline Co.>Henry Co. about the same time as my GG grandfather, Joseph R. Beaty, a son of William Beaty from Cumberland Co. KY to Saline Co. MO in 1820's. Have always assumed they were cousins....or so my grandfather and father thought. I sent copies of the bible pages and family pictures to Jack Beaty some time back...but don't know if he received them. Have more on this family, would have to dig it out....... Marlene Beaty L2C I"m a native to Henry Co. MO.......
