Carol, I will forward your request. As stated she and I share a Beatty line. She descends from the fifth child and I from the eleventh child of John and Nancy Beatty. Her ancestor, Elizabeth born in 1811, married John Thorn, son of Joseph Thorn and Mary "Polly" McGinnis. The McGinnis is the line she is now working on. She had ignored the spelling, McKinnis, but found documents with the spelling both ways. She will be happy to hear about another McGinnis researcher. Glee
