General Notes: Husband - William Beatty


From Franklin County, Pennsylvania, he was among the earliest land-claimants of Patton township, Allegheny County. In the border war with the French and Indian allies he commanded a company in Bouquet's division of Forbes' army, and accompanied the troops on the march through that region en route to Fort Duquesne, in the campaign of 1758. Being pleased with the country, he located a large tract of land in the vicinity of what later became Monroeville, also a similar tract in Westmoreland County. He never settled on the lands, but died in Franklin County at an advanced age, and his sons, Robert, Thomas and Samuel, subsequently removed thereon and there remained permanently.
