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.

Subject: Beatty's

Hi
You and I have a common interest in Beatty ancestors, although our common ancestor appears to be in the 1600?s.

The furthest back on the Beatty?s you appear to have recorded is Arthur Beatty (1673-1741) in Killeshandra, co Cavan, Ireland. According to Crossle (google Crossle and Beatty), his father was John Beatty (c1615-1681), and John Beatty?s father was also John Beatty (c1585 ? c 1640). John Beatty snr was supposedly from Dumfries in Scotland, and the timing of his move to Ireland would be consistent with the establishment of the English plantations in Ulster. Of course, pedigrees this far back I always take with reservations.

According to the sources (again mostly Crossle), I am descended from Arthur?s older brother Archibald (bc 1661). His descendants that are my ancestors remained in Ireland until the mid 1800?s, and then seem to have dispersed

Kind regards

Arthur married Martha Cairnes about 1705 in Ireland. Martha was born in 1687 in Claremore, Tyrone, Ireland; died in Apr 1743 in Killeshandra, Calvin, Ireland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Immigration: 1720, of, Ulster, Ireland; Lancaster Co, Pennsylvania
• Residence: 1728, Lancaster Co, Pennsylvania
• Will: 4 May 1734, Lancaster Co, Pennsylvania

Notes:

The book "Kentucky Genealogy and Biography" Vol. 5, p. 209 edited by Thomas Westerfield has a biography of Thomas Mitchell b. 16 June 1768 Rockbridge Co., VA. Thomas was the son of John Mitchell and Margaret Porter. John Mitchell was the son of John Mitchell and Mary Boyd. The book states "John
Mitchell and Mary Boyd immigrated from Ireland when their two children were very young. They appeared in Lancaster Co., PA in 1721. They lived there until 1737 when they moved over to the Virginia frontier to the area known as Augusta Co., VA. The area in Virginia later became Rockbridge County. In 1744 John, Jr. with his father's money selected a tract of land south of the Borden Grant for his father. The grant was for 400 acres being as stated in the patent, on a Branch of the James River called Broad Spring Branch." (The book states two children which would have been John and William.)

After Thomas Mitchell's death, his widow, Eleanor, and her children moved to Augusta County, Virginia. Jane had married Samuel Doak and her sister Mary had married John Tate. John, their brother, took up land next to Samuel and Jane Doak. Eleanor had land joining John and wife, Mary Mitchell Tate. Martha Mitchell had a farm near by. The farms listed above were all in the Beverly Patent that joined the Borden Tract where Houston had his farm.

Other-Begin:
Eleanor & son John are said to have moved to Augusta Co, VA after Thomas' death. If so, they probably made the move about the same time as the Doaks, ca 1739. There were definitely people by those names as well as bunches of other Mitchells who owned considerable property in the same general vicinity of the Doak land in Beverley Manor. Nearly every "Doak Document" you pick up has a Mitchell involved in some way witness, named as neighber, friend, etc.) and several of the Doak men supposedly married Mitchell women. I don't have all this sorted out; just about everything I have on the VA Mitchells has come from Chalkley's abstracts and that really doesn't give enough detail -- To get the story pieced together & documented, we're have to go to Augusta Co and go thru the records w/ a fine tooth comb. Then if we're really, really lucky, we might even prove that Mrs Samuel Doak was, as family lore tells us, Thomas & Eleanor Mitchell's daughter Jane!
