I thought I would summarize this file I copied. If anyone is interested in a copy or can give more information about William Beaty, let me know. William Beaty, aged 70, living in Scott County, Kentucky in November of 1832 applied for a pension based upon his service in the Rev War. He states "he was born in the State of New Jersey in the County of Sussex, Oct. 20th 1762. That during the Revolutionary War he resided in the State of Virginia in the County of Loudon." "He is now a citizen of Scott County Kentucky & has been for near 30 years, during which time he has been intimately acquainted with Col Richard M. Johnson & Maj John T. Johns (now a minister of the Gospel) & he refers to them for his character & standing in society. He does not know whether he can prove his services by any person in this State but if it should be absolutely necessary, he thinks he could prove it by going to the State of Indiana, by a person named John Pritchard or Pritchet -- I am not certain how he spells his name..." A copy of this file was sent to Elsie B. Wills and Virca L. Mayes in July 1923. William was in the Siege of York and various other battles that are described in the narrative of his application. His pension was approved. Laurel Baty, L252
