With the recently posted messages on Lineage 127, I reviewed our 127 data which show we have much to further "prove."! BP2000 Lineage 127 BP2000 Lineage 130D was connected to this lineage. 130D contained the descendancy of a George Beatty who married Elizabeth Cummings of Warren County, NJ. Lawton states on page 102 that George who married Elizabeth is "probably" the son of Lineage 127 George (b. abt 1730), but no further proof is presented. Also, the James Beatty of Lineage 130BC is most probably connected. Lawton points out that the George Beatty who witnessed the James Beatty (130BC) will, based upon handwriting analysis, is the same George Beatty (born about 1730) of Lineage 127. Lawton states (p.55) that there is no proved relationship between George, James, and a Robert Beatty who also witnessed the will. Interestingly, Lawton also shows that James Martin (known step-father of George (1730) was an executor of James' estate. James (130BC) and George (127) may have been brothers. (Ray Beaty, June, 2000) Other than deeds posted by BP2000 members most of our information on 127 George and his children comes from the two articles by Lawton: C. Arthur Lawton III, "Finding the Beatty of Beattystown," The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey. Vol. 74 No. 2. (May 1999), 49-57. C. Arthur Lawton III, "Finding the Beatty of Beattystown: Conclusions," The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey. Vol. 74 No. 3, (September 1999), 101-105. Lawton gives three primary reasons for the convincing conclusions that the 1700s George of Sussex was the same 1700s George of Trenton: 1. Son's, Daniel, Rev War pension petition stating that he was born in Sussex and later moved to Trenton area. 2. George's signature is the same on Sussex and Trenton area documents. 3. 1795 Chancery Court Register noted that George gave deposition that he had moved from Sussex to Trenton. Lawton states: (p. 101) "....there is no doubt that the George Beatty of Mansfield Woodhouse, Sussex County in the third quarter of the eighteenth century was the same who lived in the Trenton area for the last quarter of that century." Lawton's case for the children of George: 1. Benjamin - Lawton (p.103) states: "He (Benjamin) received land in Trenton from George." 2. John - Lawton ( p.103) points out: "Early 19th century court records mentioned a "John Beatty Son of George" and "the house and Lott wherein the said Beaty lives being & lying in Trenton near Beatys ferry." 3. Thomas - Lawton (p. 103) points out that Thomas was cited as a defendant in a 1790 civil court case with Robert Beaty. Thomas also had bond posted for himself by George Beatty, Sr. in a 1793 civil case. This Thomas may be the Thomas of Lineage 191 (Ray Beaty, 2000) 4. William - Lawton (p.103) states: "William was identified as a son in a Hunterdon County recognizance record from 1786, which noted the arraignment of 'Geo. Beaty & Wm. his son for a Breach of the Peace on James Montjoy." 5. George - Lawton states: (p. 102) "He moved to Hunterdon County, then to Vienna, Independence Township, Warren County and later in life to Rensselaer County N.Y. with his daughter Nancy Pangborn, where he died." Lawton believes that this son, George, was the George Beatty who married Elizabeth Cummings of Warren Co, NJ. Lawton states (p.102) that 1832 Revolutionary War pension application exists for George Beatty, Jr. of Albany Co New York which is across the river from Rensselaer County. The application was witnessed by a Mr. Pangborn. 6. Robert - Lawton points out that (p.103) "Robert was identified in a 1799 deed as a son of....George..." Pennsylvania Wills, 1682-1834 Page 121. Robert Beatty, Middletown Twp. February 12, 1813. Proved May 11, 1816. Son Samuel B. Beatty and Thomas Jenks exrs. Wife Rachel Plantation and Personal Estate for life. Land to sons Samuel and Robert at her death. "Have been at considerable expense in giving son John a good education" gives him $500. Daus. Ann, Sarah, Maria and Lydia each $500. Wits: Joseph Harvey, Phineas Briggs and Joseph Richardson Junr. 7. Isaac - nothing specific from Lawton. I have in the L-127 file: Isaac Beatty b: abt 1755 in New Jersey d: March 12, 1834 in Penfield, Monroe County, New York +Sarah Sutton b: 1753 d: September 18, 1831 in Penfield, Monroe County, New York 8. Daniel, born August 1758 (date proven from his Rev.War Pension application) Lawton states (p.102): "In his 1833 pension application he stated that shortly after his discharge he became a teamster under his father, Wagonmaster George Beatty and served until the autumn of 1781. By 1781/2 he had moved to Loudon County Virginia and perhaps a decade later was located in Montgomery County, Kentucky.... Here he presumably died, sometime after 1835, when he was last on the pension rolls." In Montgomery Co KY Daniel is living near a Thomas Beatty (Lineage 198) household. Possibly his brother? (Ray Beaty, January 2002) 9. Stewart/Steward Lawton states: (p.103) "Stewart was identified in an 1800 mortgage as a son of George Beatty." In the L-127 file we have Stewart marrying a Hannah Jones in 1798, thus the estimated birth year for Stewart of 1778. However, the various census years we have for Stewart show him to be younger......1784-1790 birthyear range. Perhaps, the Stewart who married Hannah is not the Stewart of L-127.......
