  Death	Bef Feb 1791	Washington Co, Virginia
  Notes	Francis Beatty is a probable son of Francis Beatty (b. est. 1707, Ireland, d. 1773, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, who named a son Francis in his will. This Francis Beatty has been confused by some researchers with his probable father (There are several Familysearch submissions claiming that this Francis Beatty was born in abt. 1700, the son of Arthur Beatty and Martha Cairns, but this was his probable father, Francis Beatty). This Francis Beatty apparently did not follow his father to North Carolina and stayed in the Augusta County area, moving to nearby Washington County, Virginia prior to his death in 1791. http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Francis_Beatty_%285%29 also see: http://www.ramblingroots.com/RYB-p/p4320.htm ---------------------- Note: From researching what has been posted in the Internet, it seems the two Francis Beatty (also Beaty, Beattie) - seem confused. Sr. appears to be the one who went to NC and Jr. stayed in Washington County. Or vice versa. Or could Jr. have returned to VA before he died? not likely, but take note that these entries could belong to the "other" Francis.
