General Notes: Husband - [Unk] Beatty


James Beatty was born in Ireland and with several brothers came to America, settling near Trenton in New Jersey, prior to the Revolutionary War. He and some of his brothers were soldiers in the Revolutionary War. John, a brother, was captured by the Indians in 1783 and burned to death. James Beatty died about 1790. [BCHRBFC, 955] presents this information as relating to the father of James, John and Samuel. Dates given show that this must have been an earlier generation.

From New Jersey, he served as a soldier in the War of 1812. After the war he removed to Centre County, Pennsylvania.

The family remained in New Jersey until about 1816, when three sons settled with their mother in Fayette County. The family was one of the wealthy families of the country, but converted their property into Continental money, which became worthless.
