James, Thank you! It's neat to receive this info. And, since Catharine was b. 1747, Mary E. could not be her mother. I appreciate the information more than you know. I presume you got Susan's name from the ship's list? Or does it appear in other records?

In his published book, "The Beatty Connection" he has quite a bit of information regarding Walter and Mary (Miller) which are the patriarch and matriarch beginnings of his research. He did not document Andrew as one of Walter and Mary's children, but did concede there would have been some he could not document. The family website exists at: http://www.beattyconnection.com/index.htm, but has not been updated for quite some time. I am very interested in knowing how you were able to determine your ancestors also descend from Walter and Mary Beatty. In my research I have been able to google Walter "Beaty" and come up with some documentation regarding his service in the Revolutionary War in other books as well, but not where he was actually born, nor his parentage. I have a feeling Walter's parents may have come directly from Ireland as many of the "Scotch Irish" did who settled in Pennsylvania.

James, I have that Peter Wills m. Susan Weitzel b. 28 Nov 1785 in Loudoun Co., Virginia. She was the daughter of Rev. War veteran Adam Weitzel, who (d. 1827) is buried in the Mountain City, TN area. Susan Weitzel was *possibly* the sister of Margaret Weitzel who m. Col. David Wagner (his 2nd wife) of Shouns Crossroads near today's Mountain City. I wonder how this concurs with your information. I have recently gathered information on these folks through my research on Wagners, trying to determine the parents of my William D. Waggoner b. 1816 TN, d. 1894 Russell Co., VA.

Cindy, have you cemented a relationship of your James Coldwell to my Thomas Coldwell? How do you say "'my' Revolutionary War ancestor"?? This is exciting news! Captain Thomas Coldwell (1740-1804) is buried on the old Coldwell/Armstrong, now Johnson, farm in Surgoinsville off East Williams Road in the bend of the Holston below Cox Island. There is a marble grave marker. Linda Caldwell GGG Granddaughter of Thomas Coldwell -----Original Message----- From: tnhawkin-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tnhawkin-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Cynthia Cox Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 8:11 AM To: tnhawkin@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [TNHAWKIN] Rev.
