To: Diana First, thanks for your information from the Queensbury Settlements book. I will include it with the Beatty's and Peels in my files. I do get an occasional inquiry from those families. You asked: Q. Does this book give any more information about the Ship "Hopewell"? <A. Nothing more. Q. My David McGowan we think came on the Hopewell in Nov, 1769 from Belfast, N. Ireland. He was granted Land between Schaffer Creek & Black Jack Creek on Dec. 12, 1769. I believe that where you have "Lambtone big creek" I have seen it referenced as "Lambert's Big Creek" David McGowan later received additional land that was close to Lambert's Creek and Buckhorn Creek that was passed on to his son in his will. <A. No mention of any McGowans or Lambert's Creek. The Fletcher book covered Beatys, Peels, Stapletons after about 1780. Q. Where can I find a copy of this book? <A. Only a very few copies printed as test for need and for those that helped gather the information. I believe a copy is at the Library at Stapleton, Ga. Otherwise, a copy and very poor quality loaner film at LDS, Utah. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----Original Message----- From: Art Stapleton [mailto:a.stapleton@comcast.net] Sent: Monday, April 05, 2004 11:06 PM To: GAJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GAJEFFER] Queensbury Settlement Diana: The name of the Fletcher book is "Some Early Settlers of State of Georgia: Beattys, Peels, Stapletons".

George was in Jefferson County about 1777 and returned after the war (1783) with bride. Annother name would be Raney/Rannie. If a worthy YES, I will arrange to puchase the book if still available. I will sincerely appreciate your taking time for my request.

Diana: The name of the Fletcher book is "Some Early Settlers of State of Georgia: Beattys, Peels, Stapletons". It cover about mid 1700s to about 1965. It covers those families and some of the distaff families. Jefferson Co., is where the principle ancestor George Stapleton and others settled in the Scotch-Irish land grants area. Queensbury (in it's various spellings) is mentioned in the book as the gathering place of the newcomers. Here is part of the three pages from the book ref. the settlers of Queensbury: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "ORDERED That the Reserves be continued for one Year next coming But if the Quakers, for whom a Reserve is made of Twelve thousand Acres on Little River, choose to Settle on the fifty thousand Acres they are to be accommodated--Nevertheless Lambtone big Creek is to be reserved intirely for the Irish settlement." (Quakers who came down from Pennsylvania into North Carolina had requested the land.) (Candler), (Ibid., Vol. X,pp.434-435; Ibid, pp. 303 - 304) These emigrants settled on this reserve and named it Queensborough (sometimes spelled Queensbury, Queensboro, Queensburrow) "in honor of Queen Anne." It was also stated it was "called that for Lord Charles, third Duke of Queensbury, King George III's favorite, who was instrumental in speeding the grants." Queensboro was located 8 miles north of Galphinton (an Indian trading post across the river and probably antedated the arrival of Oglethorpe), 2 miles from the later town of Louisville on Rock Comfort Creek, and 140 miles from the sea. Louisville, later located. nearby, killed the town. Queensboro is listed as one of the Dead Towns of Georgia. (Raffolvitch, George, Dead Towns of Georgia, p. 88. 'Compiled for the Division of State Parks, Department of Natural Resources, 1938) "On Monday February 20, 1769, At a Council held in the Council Chamber of Savannah" Thomas Beaty was granted 150 acres on branches of the Great Ogeechee River. (Candler, op. cit., Vol. X, pp. 696-698) On July 1, 1770, he was granted Lot 16 in Queensboro. (Candler. op. cit., Vol. XI, p. 227) "On Reading a Petition of Sundry Passengers who Arrived from Ireland in the Ship Hopewell Cap. Ash in December 1769 who had Lands ordered them in Queensborough Township and the Usual time allowed for surveying the Same having elapsed - "ORDERED That the Warrants for laying out the Said lands be prolonged for the further Term of Six Months." (Ibid., p. 152) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Art Stapleton

Hello Diana, I, too, follow things Jefferson Co., mainly as they relate to my Stapleton clan. I also do lookups for others in the Fletcher book about the Beatys, Peels, and Stapletons. My request is that you do a lookup for me in your "Queensbury, The Irish Town and its Citizens". It is possible that Stapletons, particularly my main-man of Jefferson Co., George (Lawson) Stapleton and/or his wife Margarett Downer, and her aunt/relative Mary Connell and Daniel Connell could be mentioned or included in the book. George was in Jefferson County about 1777 and returned after the war (1783) with bride. Annother name would be Raney/Rannie. If a worthy YES, I will arrange to puchase the book if still available. I will sincerely appreciate your taking time for my request.
