- David Beattie, oldest son of John Beattie [William's older brother], moved in 1772 to what is now Washington County, Virginia. He forted [fought?] against the Indians at Glade Springs. Beattie served on the expedition to Kings Mountain under Col. Campbell. His brothers, John and William, were with him and John was killed in the battle. David commanded a company of militia of about one hundred men in a subsequent battle at Cowpens. Col Samuel Hammond, a veteran of Kings Mountain, said Beattie commanded a company of South Carolina militia at Cowpens. Another writer (?) says that "a small party of Georgians under Maj. Beatie" was on Tate's and Triplett's outer right flank at Cowpens.
