Some of us who have been working on this believe that this John Beaty (I call him German Twp. John) was the son of Thomas Beaty, who died in Bartholomew Co. abt. July 8, 1831, and was from KY. If so, John's mother was Henrietta. We think German Twp. John was a brother to Darius Beaty who settled in Flatrock Twp., also from KY. There was another possible brother James in Flatrock Twp., and I have speculated that Marcella Beaty, who married John McQueen and who lived in Flatrock Twp., may have been a sister, as her age and dates fit neatly within this family. If someone knows otherwise, please let me know!!! German Twp. John's land was actually very close to the parcels owned by the Flatrock Twp. clan. The Layman family, the McQueens, the Beatys and the Owens families were involved in the same church and I think they were tightly interconnected. Layman and McQueen ministers performed marriages for Beatys and Owens, for example. Tammy McCoige Miller in Bartholomew County has extensive information on the Cooper/Beaty family which has helped us sort these people out. But I have to say that the above relationships are probable only, not proven. My ancestor William Beaty, we believe to have been a brother to Thomas Beaty, and I believe it was this William who was appointed administrator to Thomas' estate. My William had children Joseph, David, John M., Darius, William, Mary Jane, and maybe James Orville. The Beatys named their children the same series of names, leading to much confusion, and as I stated earlier, several of them, after migrating to Tipton County, returned to Bartholomew County. Furthermore, my William saw no need to record his deeds when purchasing land, so while you can find deeds when it is sold, it leaves you wondering when it was obtained.
