Research Comment:

Was James the son of Absolom Beattie and Eliza Davis? James is buried near William Beattie, Absolom's father. There is an adjacent stone for an Elizabeth M. Beattie who died in 1837 at age 2. Her stone was reported to include the notation "daughter of A. E. Beattie". This may have actually read "A & E. Beattie." Absolom Beattie and Eliza Davis married in 1832. There is a gap in their documented children from 1834 to 1838.
