Hello all, I forgot the following family in my last post: Richard Edward Beatty was born on a ship in the Gulf of Mexico on March 3, 1842 while his family was immigrating to the USA from Ireland. I am not sure what their port of entry was, but Richard's obituary states that he was reared in Clinton County, Iowa. I have found no ship's passenger lists entering through New Orleans listing a Beatty family around this time, and I have yet to locate a Federal Census Record mentioning the Beatty family prior to 1860. An 1860 Federal census lists a "Richard Beatty", age 18, as a residence of Elk River Township, Clinton County, Iowa, and there is"Charles Beatty" in the same township, age 19. I believe that this Charles may be a brother to my Richard. At this point in their lives, the boys are living in the homes of other families and not with their Beatty family. I am not sure if this was just two boys venturing into the city, or something happened to the family, causing the boys to strike out on their own. 1860 BEATTY RICHARD Clinton County IA 250 Elk River Township Federal Population Schedule 1860 Federal Census IndexIA2319890 Richard enlisted in the Union Navy at the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861. He was said to have been part of Admiral Farragut's fleet, taking part in the capture of Fts. Jackson and St. Philip. He was present at the fall of New Orleans and Vicksburg, although I have found no further confirmation of this other than his obituary. He came to live in Louisiana some time after the Civil War, maybe as early as 1866. There is a "Richard Beatty" listed in the 1866 New Orleans City Directory, and prior to that year, no Richard Beatty was listed. On To New Orleans: He married Johanna Ward Gray (who immigrated to New Orleans around 1853), widow of C.A. Gray, around 1868. Johanna had two boys from this previous marriage: George Gray, who was born on September 5, 1861, and John Gray, who was born on January 17, 1867. This information indicates that Richard and Johanna could have been married as early as 1866, but no later than February of 1869. Johanna and Richard had two children of their own: Richard Thomas Beatty, who was born on November 14, 1869, possibly in New Orleans, and Suzanna Beatty Phillips, who was born on August 19, 1872, in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana. The obituary goes on to claim that Richard Edward Beatty was a life-long member of the Roman Catholic Church, so there must be some birth/baptismal records out there somewhere that I have yet to find. By 1870, the Beatty family had left New Orleans and moved to Amite City in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana. They are present in the 1870 Federal Census as "Bates," but all of the particulars match. Richard is present with wife Johanna, as well as John Gray and a daughter, Bridget. This "daughter" is probably Richard Thomas Beatty due to the similarity of the ages, and the fact that the name Richard may be confused with Bridget if stated in an Irish brough. There is also a "Samuel" listed in the household, age six. My only guess is that this is George Gray, who would have been approximately eight years old. Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

HI Craig, How very interesting that you have an ancestor that was in the Union Navy! My husband is a Union Navy Civil War re-enactor and involved with the National Civil War Navy Museum in Port Columbus, Ga. You might want to go visit that museum sometime to learn more about the Union Navy in the Civil War. Admiral Farragut's ship was the USS Hartford. It had a steam engine and also square rigged sails for back up. Do you know if your ancestor was on the flag ship or another ship in the fleet? We are always looking for information on real people who served in the Civil War.
