Hi Mardi and welcome to the list! You have traced your ancestors back to a specific place in Ireland and apparently you are wanting to know what to do next??? Probably two things. One is to continue gathering info about them in Canada in order to develop a good profile. Just like on TV when looking for a killer the more you know the more likely you are to bag your man. The second thing to do is learn how to do Irish genealogy. That's really critical because Ireland's records are very different from other countries. You might also grab a book or so to learn how to leverage your Scottish connection too. Scotland does have good records and by using the censuses and civil registration (as well as OPRs) you can locate other family members who might have additional info on the family in Ireland. I have two lines of Beatties, one on each side. My father's were Scottish border Beatties who headed up the east coast of Scotland in the early 1600s and eventually settled in Polmont in the 1830s. My mother's side entered the Irish army in the mid 1600s from Ayrshire and settled in Ireland due to the Williamite settlement. There were two brothers who were officers in King WIlliam's army. The one is well documented in Egle's PA genealogies. He settled in County Down where he had 15 children, populating the planet with Beatties. Mine was in Antrim. We left in 1729, settling in New York area where there were Ulster Scots. However if you check "The Scots-Irish" you'll see that native Beatties were given small estates in Cavan (I think it was) at the start of the public plantation. They lost these by the Williamite Settlement. These ones were Catholic. Religion is key here and one of the things you've not shared. You can get a fair amount of local history in Fermanagh, depending on where they were, that might give you an idea where yours originated: as native Irish or Scots settlers. You can locate Irish county resources in various books like Ryan's "Irish Records", but a check of the Tithe Applotment index on CD will give you a free two second idea of where in Fermanagh that Beatties lived and also give you an idea of how common or uncommon the name "James Beattie" was.

Hi Linda, I have been a member of this list for about 6 months now... BUT! Wow Just reading your email addressed to Mardi, who I know from another set of lists, and saw your entry My mother's side entered the Irish army in the mid 1600s from Ayrshire and settled in Ireland due to the Williamite settlement. There were two brothers who were officers in King WIlliam's army. The one is well documented in Egle's PA genealogies. He settled in County Down where he had 15 children, populating the planet with Beatties. Mine was in Antrim. We left in 1729, settling in New York area where there were Ulster Scots. ~~~~~~~~~~~ LOL I'm just jumping up and down... I'm sure we share the Beatty lineage.. 1st Generation 1.

Notes on John Beatty the next two generations comes from Larry Cornwell contact at: LaCornwell@@@aol.com BEATTY Introduction According to the biography of the Honorable John P. Beatty of Jasper County, Iowa, published in the Portrait and Biographical Record of Jasper, Marshall, and Grundy Counties, Iowa in 1894, "The Beatty family is of Scotch ancestry, and was prominently connected with the Presbyterian Church in Scotland prior to the religious revolution, but at that time they left the country and settled in the North of Ireland." The first two generations, below, are undocumented and unproven. ~~~~~~~~ They lived in the Scottish lowlands in the Dalbeattie area ~~~~~~~~ John and Jane existed as individuals, but the proof that they were the parents of John and James has not been discovered. They may have been the parents of James and John, identified below. According to research of Marlene K. Smith, "After the battle of Boyne in 1690, John and his two sons, John and James, left Scotland along with a large influx of Scottish families for the northern counties of Ireland." (Note..First time I have heard that John Beatty, wife Jane Ross, father of John and James moved to Ireland with his sons...nlp) ~~~~~~~~ 2nd Generation (Children) 2.

Notes on John Beatty Genealogical Record of the Families of Beatty, Egle, Muller, Murray, Ortho & Thomas. William H. Egle Harrisburg: Hart Printer and Binder, 1886 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ original note from original file, not researched by me. Officer in the British Army, lived in Antrim, Ireland. FA2: Date: 1690, PLace: went to Ireland after the battle of the Boyne. Went with James. ~~~~~~~~~ Research by Nelda, L-05 The Battle of the Boyne No year in Irish history is better known than 1690. No Irish battle is more famous than William III's victory over James II at the River Boyne, a few miles west of Drogheda. James, a Roman Catholic, had lost the throne of England in the bloodless "Glorious Revolution" of 1688. William was Prince of Orange, a Dutch- speaking Protestant married to James's daughter Mary, and became king at the request of parliament. James sought refuge with his old ally, Louis XIV of France, who saw an opportunity to strike at William through Ireland. He provided French officers and arms for James, who landed at Kinsale in March 1689. The lord deputy, the Earl of Tyrconnell, was a Catholic loyal to James, and his Irish army controlled most of the island. James quickly summoned a parliament, largely Catholic, which proceeded to repeal the legislation under which Protestant settlers had acquired land. During the rule of Tyrconnell, the first Catholic viceroy since the Reformation, Protestants had seen their influence eroded in the army, in the courts and in civil government. Only in Ulster did they offer effective resistance. In September 1688, while James was still king, apprentice boys in Londonderry closed the city's gates to deny admission to a Catholic regiment under Lord Antrim. In April 1689, the city refused to surrender to James's army, and survived the hardships of a three-month siege before relief came by sea. The Protestants of Enniskillen defended their walled city with equal vigour, and won a number of victories over Catholic troops. Eventually, James withdrew from the northern province. William could not ignore the threat from Ireland. In August 1689 Marshal Schomberg landed at Bangor with 20,000 troops and, with Ulster secure, pushed south as far as Dundalk. James's army blocked further progress towards Dublin, but there was no battle and the two armies withdrew to winter quarters. In March 1690 the Jacobite army was strengthened by 7,000 French regulars, but Louis demanded over 5,000 Irish troops in return. The Williamites were reinforced by Danish mercenaries and by English and Dutch regiments. When William himself landed at Carrickfergus on 14 June, he was able to muster an army of 36,000 men. He began the march towards Dublin. There was some resistance near Newry, but the Jacobites soon withdrew to the south bank of the River Boyne. The battle was fought on 1 July 1690 at a fordable river bend four miles west of Drogheda. The main body of Williamite infantry was concentrated on fording the river at the village of Oldbridge, which was approached by a deep and sheltenng glen. First, however, a detachment of cavalry and infantry made a flanking attack upstream, which forced James to divert troops to prevent his retreat being cut off. William's army was stronger by at least 10,000 men, but after these troops were drawn off he had three-to-one superiority in the main arena. By mid- afternoon the Jacobite army was in retreat, outpaced by James himself, who rode to Dublin to warn the city of William's approach. He was in France before the month was out. On 6 July William entered Dublin, where he gave thanks for victory in Christ Church Cathedral. The Battle of the Boyne is recalled each July in the celebrations of the Orange Order, not on the first day but on "the Twelfth", for eleven days were lost with the change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar in 1752. It was not the end of the Williamite campaign, and the King had returned to England before the Dutch general Ginkel's victory at Aughrim and the formal Irish surrender after the siege of Limerick in 1691. The Treaty of Limerick was not ungenerous to the defeated Catholics, but they were soon to suffer from penal laws designed to reinforce Protestant ascendancy throughout Irish life. From A Little History of Ireland by Martin Wallace with illustrations by Ian McCullough. ~~~~~~~~~ Note from Annie Harris, L-05 extracted from the book The Genealogy of Robert Beatty 1760-1823 Introduction pg V John Beatty, James Beatty, and Christiana Beatty came from north of Ireland sailing May 20, 1729 and landed in New York October 4, 1729 after a terrible voyage. Among those who succumbed to disease and hardships on the voyage were John Beatty and his wife and five children, and also a child of Christiana. The Beatty's surviving the voyage settled at Little Britain, New Windsor, N.Y. Christiana Beatty, widow of John of Antrim, Ireland was a sister of Charles Clinton, granddaughter of William Clinton, a grandson of Henry Clinton, second Earl of Lincoln. By a former wife, her husband John Beatty had William, Elsie, John, Arthur and James. John Beatty Jr. died on shipboard leaving sons Arthur and James. (NOTE: This is a little confusing it is better to give dates on a person rather then JR? Junior to whom making him whose son? I believe this is John Beatty b.1665 husband of Christina, rather then her stepson, John b.after 1705, who has no information listed at all, not wife or children, although, John Beatty and wife and five children as listed above could also have been John Beatty b. after 1705 /wife and children.. ..Back to John Jr.? Leaving sons Arthur and James.. Which John? b. 1665 or after 1705? John b. 1665 has two sons by those names born to his first wife Elise Ross. They were born after 1705 and 1714..aged between 15 and 24.. fifteen year old would be considered a child but not at 24 .. Still guessing..Nelda) Christina Clinton Beatty was the mother of Charles, Mary, Martha, and a child who died on the voyage. Christina married again in America a James Scott and died in New York City in 1776-7 aged ninety. "Robert Beatty and brother Charles were early settlers in Marbletown, Ulster county, N.Y., and doubtless were related to those just mentioned. Charles Beatty died in 1726-27. Robert had sons, Robert and Thomas. Robert Beatty Jr. died in Newburg N.Y. in 1779 leaving wife Mary and children Thomas, John, Robert, Francis, Elizabeth Ann, and Mary." (copied from Allegheny Valley, History of Ulster Co., N.Y. pg. 721) page VI, The family described below were already in America when the Christiana Beatty family arrived. (The following notes were gathered from a public Library in New York, Ulster Co., exact reference to book not recorded.) The above not is not my note but a note in the introduction of the book.

Linda I did leave out religion shame on me. They were Anglican (Church of England) in Canada. In one census in Canada one of the family members was listed as Methodist. Do you have a good or even great online site to learn about Irish Genealogy? I understand very little, but have picked up on a few things from listening on the lists.
