Some notes on descendants of Wm Beatty who distinguished himself at the siege of Derry in 1689, sent to me by E. M. Chadwick, Esq., K. C. of Excelsior Life Building, Adelaide and Toronto Streets, Toronto, Canada, in his letter to me of 18 Oct. 1919. P. Crossle.

There was in the 16th Century a small Border Clan in Kirkcudbright, known as the Clan Baty, with several variations of that name, whose locus is perhaps marked by the Village of Dalbeattie situate on the line of railway running in land from Stranraer(??). This clan was not of long continuance and became broken and dispersed, and some settled in Ireland, where the name became Beaty and Beatty, one of which later was:

WILLIAM BEATTY, of Moneymore, co. Londonderry, was a captain in the Garrison of Derry in the famous Siege of 1689, in which he “ever behaved himself with great integrity and valour” taking part in all important engagements, and also going out almost daily with small parties to harass the besiegers, until about a month before the end of the Siege, having been attacked with a severe illness, he withdrew, under protection, to his home. He m. subsequently, and had twelve sons, among them:

JAMES BEATTY, a merchant of Newry, living there in 1763, who* had with others (one of whom was Arch deacon of Moydow, Co. Longford) a son.

WILLIAM BEATTY of Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, who m. Anne Creighton and had issue, of whom his youngest son was James (The small number of generations during so long a period from 1689 appears to be explained by the fact of this line of descent being traced through younger sons, born late in the life of their parents) This youngest son:--

JAMES BEATTY, b. circa 1792; d 3 May 1865, came to Canada and settled in Toronto in 1830, being a merchant there, was Capt. Of Militia in 1847; m. 1832, Anne (b. circa 1806; d 8 May 1879) dau of James McKowen of Dublin, Ireland, and Elizabeth Byrne his wife, and had issue:--
    I. William Henry Beatty, B. L. b. 10 Dec. 1833; m. 26 April 1865 Charlotte Louisa, dau of James Goodenham Worts and had issue:--
    1. Harry Worts Beatty, b. 29 April 1866; d 16 Dec 1914
    2. Charles William Beatty, b. Aug 1871; married Violet Dean, dau of George Gooderham and had issue
    a. Amy Gertrude Beatty m. Wallace Nesbitt (?? A ?? of the Supreme Court of Canada) and had issue
    b. Alice Maude Beatty m. Wm Herbert Lawthe
    
* Mr. Chadwick says “James Beatty (d. 1865) told me that James of Newry was his grandfather. He (James of Newry) is mentioned in personal notes in revised history of the Siege of Derry, “Derriana” so that this pedigree extending 230 years is stated on personal knowledge of two persons, i. e. James Beatty and myself.
Marginal Note: If Wm Beatty (who m. Anne Creighton) was brother to Archdeacon Beatty, he was son of Wm Beatty of Newry, not James—P. C.

Latin terms after parentage names. Most very hard
to read so spelling in question.)
