Posted on: Venango Co. Pa Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Venango?read=2078 Surname: Hays, Beatty, Milner ------------------------- The website contains a bio. of the Hays family from "Ven.Co.PA, Her Pioneers & People" which states that William Hays, son of Greer Hays, had a dau. who married Ira Beatty, no year or 1st name given. Does anyone have more info on this line of the Hays? I am searching for my ggparents, Hays & Beatty, in the 1800's in that area. Thanks for any help! Norma
Norma, as you can see from the previous post, you are indeed a descendant of the Venango Co. Beatty family but it does not appear to be through Ira Beatty, but through his mother in law. According to the 1919 Venango Co. history, Ira Beatty was from Sharon, PA and I can find no connection in my files between him and the Venango Co. Beattys. However, his mother in law was Nancy Jane Beatty, daughter of Samuel Beatty and Leah McFadden. Samuel was a son of Robert Beatty, a very early settler of Venango Co. I will gladly share what I have on the Beattys and can get you in touch with another researcher from the Samuel Beatty branch of the family. Concerning the Hays family, there is a write up on them in the 1919 Venango Co. history you might be interested in. Cheers, Kipp Norma wrote: > > Posted on: Venango Co.
