Hi Chuck You're in luck .....
You need to read the book "Nelson's Surgeon" by Laurence Brockliss, John Cardwell and Michael Moss. (Oxford Univ Press). All about another William Beatty (1773 - 1842) who was later knighted. An early chapter gives a well-researched background into the Beatty family of Cookstown ..... ! Will send you some pages when I can get to my PC. Will try now to send you a cellphone-photo of a Beatty family tree. Shows presumably your "Henry Beatty (emigrated to America)" ... as eldest son of "Capt. William Beatty (b. Cookstown 1671, d. 1774)". Quite a military hero at the time of the Siege of Londonderry/Battle of the Boyne.

My mother’s family, “Beatty” has it origin from Cookstown. I’ve searched your site and was unsuccessful in finding any specific reference to my ancestors. My ancestor emigrated from Ireland quite some time ago, in the 1750’s. I’d appreciate help in searching any connections that may exist. Here’s is what I know of my ancestry: Henry Beatty born in Ireland married to Catherine. Henry died September 1772 and was buried in Cumberland, Pennsylvania, USA. It was written that Henry came to America from Cookstown, County, Ireland. Henry and Catherine had 7 children: William Beatty born 1738, Tyrone, Ireland. James Beatty Elizabeth Beatty Margaret Beatty Walter Beatty John Beatty born 1756 Henry Beatty It was written that Henry died before his wife and children were able to join him in the US while other information suggests that his older sons came with him. William Beatty was born 1738, Tyrone, Ireland. William married Mary Johnson who was born 1746. I don’t know if she was born in Ireland. Her parents were James Johnson and Elizabeth Brown. James Johnson was born in 1697. Although his cemetery write-up says “Northern Ireland” my cousin found information stating Annandale, Dumfrieshire, Scotland. Any my cousin reminded me our lineage is the Protestant Beatty’s. I would appreciate any assistance you can provide. Our party will be leaving the US on September 16, 2017, touring Southern Ireland and then Northern Ireland beginning on September 26, 2017. Thanks. Charles “Chuck” Zeh (mother maiden name Beatty) [email protected] Morgantown, WV USA P.S. We will have a cell phone with us while traveling. If there is a number to reach others while in Ireland we can call them. _______________________________________________ CoTyroneList mailing list [email protected] http://mail.cotyroneireland.com/mailman/listinfo/cotyronelist_cotyroneireland.com _______________________________________________ CoTyroneList mailing list [email protected] http://mail.cotyroneireland.com/mailman/listinfo/cotyronelist_cotyroneireland.com
