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
