I have decided to send this to the list rather than directly to Kerry, in the hope that other researchers who are or may be descended from Charles Scott and Jane Beattie (or Baty or Beatie) will add to our knowledge or correct any errors. I have been led to believe that I am descended from Charles Scott and Jane Batty (Beatie) of County Tyrone, Ireland. Here is what I sent the list in June 2007, in italics. See after the italics entry for today's thoughts. The furthest back my maternal ancestors can be traced is to Charles SCOTT, b 1767 in Ireland. His date of death is not known. Charles married Jane BATTY (BEATTY) born 1771. She died in 1861. All of the children with one exception (Jane, born in Scotland) appear to have been born in County Tyrone. And all the children seem to have emigrated to York County, New Brunswick, Canada at various times. But there is no trace of Charles and Jane in New Brunswick, so presumably they died in County Tyrone. Children's Names and Dates of Birth with Spouses John SCOTT b 1791 m. Martha ARBUCKLE b 1789 James SCOTT b 1793 m. Elenor b 1794 (Surname not known) Jane SCOTT b 1796 in Scotland m. Charles GRAY b.1800 in Woodstock, NB Nathaniel SCOTT b 10 Mar 1793 m. Jane MURRAY b 12 May 1803 in County Donegal Hugh SCOTT b ca 1803 m. Isabella BOYD William SCOTT b 1 Jan 1807 m. Frances L. GRAY b. 1819 in Woodstock, NB Joseph SCOTT b ca 1810 m. Esther (surname not known) Sarah SCOTT b 11 Jun 1811 m. Joseph GRAY b.1810 in North Hampton, NB (This family went to Utah) Sarah was said to have been born in Ardstraw. My ancestor, John, arrived in New Brunswick in 1820 along with his wife and brother Nathaniel with his wife Jane and another brother Joseph. They had with them a bandle linen which leads me to wonder if the family was somehow involved in the flax industry. William apparently arrived in Canada in 1817. I don't know when the other siblings emigrated. I have connected with several other descendants of Charles and Jane and now have a sizable family tree of their children and descendants now scattered in the United States as well as Canada. Although much of my information comes from other researchers, I have been able to turn up additional information about Charles and Jane's descendants. I would be happy to share what I have discovered with other descendants. But despite following all the leads found in postings to the list over the last 2 years, checking all the links on the helpful Tyrone website and trying some of the paid gravestone and other services in Northern Ireland I have found no more information on Charles and his wife Jane BATTY (BEATTY). I would love to visit County Tyrone, but not without some solid information about where they might have lived. I found reference on the Irish Parish History Books web site to a person who was willing to do Ardstraw lookups in Historical Survey of a Parish 1600-1900, but a message to this person received no answer. Perhaps someone on the list has a copy of this book and would be willing to look up Sarah and perhaps other siblings? Have also found more than one Charles SCOTT in the Griffith's Valuation and the List of Spinning Wheels in Tyrone but am unsure of how to follow up on those leads. Most of my information came from a large handwritten family history by a descendant of Nathaniel. I have since connected via the internet with other descendants. Two descendants have helped to flesh out my family tree but another descendant (of the William above) has not responded to my messages. So the puzzle here is William. Is Kerry's William the same as my ancestor's son? Could Charles and Jane have had 2 sons named William, or were there 2 Charles and Janes? Another name that caught my attention is Ann Graham. My maternal grandmother was a Graham, descended from Patrick Graham and Katherine Duncan. (However that is off topic for this list, but perhaps Kerry would like to contact me about that branch of the family or about my Scott information.) Hoping to hear from Kerry, and perhaps others with more information! Fran Rose
