James, that's who I have as Jane's parents too - Jacob Samuel (Samuel) Reagan (b. abt. 1810) and Elizabeth Pennycuff (b. abt. 1805). Jane has a sister, Serena Reagan, (b. abt. 1838, d. May 17, 1881 in Adair County, KY) who married Jonathan Allen Beaty (b. May 15, 1832, d. November 10, 1907 Cherry Branch, Overton County, TN. After Serena died, he married Margaret E. Winningham (b. March 05, 1857, d. March 15, 1927). Jonathan Allen Beaty and Andrew Jackson Beaty were brothers and sons of Alexander Beaty (b. abt. 1788, d. 1866) and Mary (Polly) Hull (b. Abt. 1810, d. April 1881 buried at Allardt Cemetery). I'm glad this helped solve your puzzle. Thanks to Laurel Baty from the Beaty Project 2000 for diligently copying and posting so many of the Beaty pension records on the Beaty mailing list. For anyone with Beaty connections the message board archives are great to search through using the keyword "Fentress". _http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl_ (http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl) then type in bp2000 for the name of the mailing list, to get the correct mailing list -- then type in Fentress to get information on anything posted there with Fentress in it.

Beaty Content-Disposition: Inline Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit HURRAY for BRENDA!!!! What a surprise and relief to finally have a break through! I have been tracing this Martha Jane SMITH for years just to find out she wasnt a SMITH afterall. What luck! I had been given the wrong info from a source that listed a Martha Jane SMITH as William Gunters first wife. So with the info I have been researching the SMITHS periodicaly for approx 7 wasted years....in vain! LOL. Now the 1870 Fentress Co census for William and Jane REAGAN Gunter makes since. I have long wondered who the John was at age 10 for I knew he could not be William Gunters son. William was too young to have a child b. 1860. Now I know this John is the s/o Jane and her first husband, Andrew J Beaty. I looked to see who Jane Reagans parents were and found in 1850 Overton census a Jane age 17 in HH of Samuel and Elizabeth Reagan. Now I can begin my work on the REAGAN families! Anyone by chance know when and where Jane Reagan-Beat-Gunter is buried? Once again, I want to thank Brenda for the info! I would probably never had found the correct info and continue working on the SMITH line. Regards JW Garrett
