The BEATY family is one of the oldest families in Greene and Lawrence counties. The grandfather of Capt. BEATY was Andrew BEATY, born in Ireland in 1747; married and lived in Scotland until shortly before the American Revolution when he and his wife and two or three children removed to America. He was a soldier in that war and was at Yorktown at the surrender of Cornwallis. After the war was over he emigrated to Kentucky where he resided until about the time Indiana was admitted into the union as a state, when he removed with his family to this new state. He died in 1819; his wife (Nancy) died in 1838. Their son, James, (father of the subject of this Sketch) having grown up and married Margaret HARDING in Kentucky also settled on a tract of land east of Indian creek, in Lawrence county, where he added to it from time to time until he had several hundred acres-here John (the subject of this sketch) was born January 18, 1830; died July 18, 1904; aged 71 years 5 months and 26 days. His early life was the life of all the pioneer families of Indiana-a struggle to subdue the forests, to help feed and clothe the family, to get the best education possible under adverse circumstances-John improved his opportunities and became a school teacher himself when not engaged in farm work.
- Agnes Sitlington, m. Andrew Beaty; settled in Springville, Lawrence County, Indiana, where the couple had 6 children. (Andrew was married twice more, had a total of 17 children.)
