    WILLIAM BEATTIE, (sn of John Beattie of Glade Springs, Washington County, Va., by his wife Ellen Gilmore) was soldier in the patriot forces of Kings Mountain.  He is said to have been one of the latest survivors of that Battle to die.  He married in Washington County Va., Mary Allison, and they were the parents of thirteen children, as follows:

 
     1. Elizabeth Beattie, married Wm. Byars
     2. John Beattie m. Sarah Edmiston or Edmondson.  This Beattie family went to Pulaski County, Ky.
     3. Robert Beattie, married Paulina White.  Remained in Old Virginia.
     4. James Beattie, married Elizabeth Stephenson of Kentucky.  This family or a part of his family came  to         Missouri.  A daughter Elizabeth married a DYSART, probably William Dysart, but I know not what William.  A son David Stephenson Beattie lived and died in Andrew County, Mo, and I knew four of his children there.
     5. Samuel Beattie, came to BOONE COUNTY, married Miss DENNY.
     6. David Beattie, never married.  As I recall it he died an old Bachelor in Boone County, but I do not find my note verify this.
     7. Josiah N. Beattie, married Ellen White, of Virginia.  Came to Missouri living in Johnson and Andrew County.  Died in the latter county.  A son of this man married in Savannah Mo.: Hampton Sydney Beattie a Morman lass and went to Utah, became a prominent figure in the Morman church.  Had five wives and numerous children.  S daughter married t e son of Brigham Young, and a daughter married Heber M. Wells, governor years ago of Utah.
     8. Absolom Beattie, appears to have remained in Virginia.
     9. William Beattie married in Va. Rhoda White.  This man went to Lafayette County, Mo. in 1833, and in 1849 went to California and died there.
    10. Fountain Fox Beattie, married and lived in Va.
    11. Nancy Dysart Beattie, married Robert Edmondson, of Va.
    12. Madison Beattie, married Martha Ann Cunningham, and lived in Va.  He was the historian of his family.
 
In SWITZLER'S HISTORY OF BOONE CO., p. 748 there is a story of Samuel Beattie of Boone County and his family.  It recites he came to BOONE County with his brother David in 1818.
 
Mrs. Susan Letitia Beattie Bennett, of Fulton, Mo. in her life time advised me that her father was Wm. Newton Beattie, her grandfather, Samuel Beattie, whose wife she called MARY GRAHAM DENNY.  (Note records in CH in Columbia Deeds b,13 show She was Mary G. Beattie.  Mrs. Bennett, in telling of the migration of the Beatties to Missouri, observed: "I recall that there were TEN brothers of them (Samuel Beattie and hs brothers) and they came West two at a time, many coming to Missouri, settling in Boone, Lafayette Salie and around St. Joseph.  Elizabeth h Beattie, my fathers sister, kept a most interesting record of the Virginia Beatties.  It has been misplaced."
