James Shuman, In your message to Chris you noted Elizabeth's father was Alexander BEATTY. Note that he is a I (first) since he had a son Rev. Alexander BEATTY II. You also noted Alexander BEATTY I had a wife Molly. Is that the same Mary S. CARTER he md. 28 July 1797 in Monongalia County? My wife is a descendent of both these Alexanders. I have a family group sheet on each family Richard..
