Kevin, Thank you for your help. I will check the online source you've mentioned. In the meantime this is my Beaty family: Major Steele Beaty b. 1826 Shenandoah Co, VA. m. Elizabeth J Watson 1856 in Brown Co, IN. Major d. 1912 Vermillion, KS. Major and Elizabeth Beaty came to Kansas in June, 1857 with Elizabeth's brother J.F. Watson. Major and Elizabeth had: Samuel John Beaty b. 1859. m. Elizabeth Elaine Randall Lorena B. Beaty b. 1857 m. Frank L Cannon Della Beaty b. 1864 Robert Beaty b. 1864 died in infancy William Watson Beaty b. 1871 I have no idea about the town of Beaty! Thanks again, Cindy in TX Kevin Auld <auld@ix.netcom.com> wrote: Hi Cindy, The book is "THE HISTORY OF KANSAS". Do you have any further info you could provide other than last name? Like first names, dates, where from, etc. I seem to recall a town of Beatty or similar spelling in Marshall Co., KS. If I am remembering correctly about the name, do you know if settlers of this town were related to the individuals you seek? I have a copy of the book mentioned. Are you aware of the online link to this book at http://www.kancoll.org/andcutl.htm ? I have found it to be a great html-page-searchable resource. I've only discovered a couple of instances where the WONDERFUL online transcription differed from or omitted information found in the source document. Kansas Collection web site ( http://www.kancoll.org )has many GREAT resource documents on line in addition to this particular book. (MANY THANKS ARE DUE TO ALL INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED WITH KANSAS COLLECTION SITE AND CONTENT !!! ) If you can provide additional details it may help the search. Let me know and I'll see if I can find some clues for you!

Thanks, Cindy Kevin Auld wrote: Hello, Perhaps a clue... Cutler's "History of Kansas", Chicago, 1883, p927; Section "FRANKFORT", sub section "SETLEMENT OF THE VERMILLION VALLEY" Discussing early settlers, "also Enoch Pugh, the first blacksmith (who died there about 1857)...". I hope this helps. If I find additional info I'll post. -----Original Message----- From: Redirected by "DC & Alice Allen" [mailto:lucky53199@aol.com] Sent: Sunday, September 05, 2004 11:23 PM To: KSMARSHA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: George J Pugh born about 1836/1837 (Redirected by "DC & Alice Allen" ) A Message Board Post *********** BEGIN REDIRECTED MESSAGE *********** This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
