    3. A little more to understand this interesting item: [Included the next one just because it was interesting...] BEATTY, SAML., Ensign, 2 Regt. U.P.L., Letter purporting to be the last will, "Miami River, fifty miles from its mouth." September 24, 1791. Letters February 11, 1794. Commission with Mr. Wilky (Wilkins), merchant, in Pittsburgh, now in Fort Washington. Mr. Brotherton. Major Butler. Mother. Joseph. Wit.: Alexander Power and James Beatty. Admin.: Alexander Power and James Beatty. The Dec'd was killed at Saint Mary's in the defeat of Genl. St. Clair, by the Indians, November 4, 1791. E. 316. Fort Washington is now Cincinnati, OH and the Miami River (now the Great Miami as there is also a "Little Miami R.) extends north from the Ohio River to Dayton and on northwest. Arthur St. Claire had a lot of trouble as an Indian fighter and his defeat(s) called for the campaigns of General Anthony Wayne which eventually ended in the defeat of Tecumseh and the Shawnee at Fallen Timbers and settled the Northwest Territory at the Treaty of Greeneville, (OH). More information can probably be found on Samuel and James Beatty in material associated with this campaign.
