What was your com-lete [complete] maiden name:
What is or was the complete name of your husband:
I am not the one that is kin to Beaty’s and Newell, Harry Wait himself the one.
Is he living:

If I understand it your husband was the son of George Washington Wait, whose second wife (mother of your husband) was Malinda Saunders.  Is this correct:
No, Malinda Saunders, 1st wife and Mother of Harry Wait.

Was your huabands [sic] grandmother a Miss Newell?
Yes, Mary Jane N.
What was her complete maiden name:
Mary Jane Newell dau. of John M. and Margaret (Peggy) Beaty Newell
What relation, if you know was Henry Clay Newell, to the wife of G.W. Wait?
                     He was brother to the Mother of G.W. Wait

It appears that Robert F. Beattie (son of Jogn [sic] and Sarah (Edmiston) Beattie) married Hettie Newell.  Can you tell me what relation Hettie was to the other two Newells just mentioned
Hettie Newell was sister to Mary Jane Newell who Mar. C. Wait, and sister to Henry Clay Newell who mar. Florence Beattie.

John Beattie who m. Miss Edmiston was son of William Beattie who married Mary ALLISON.  This William Beattie had a sister Agnes, who married JAMES DYSART.  This James Dysart moved to Rockcastle County, Ky. and died there about 1818.  He represented Rockcastle in the legislature.  If advised correctly James Dysart had SIX children:
                   Eleanor m. William Carson, but had no issue.
                   Samuel m. Anna Meek of Washington Co., Va. and lived and apparently died in Pulaski Co.
                   John Beattie Dysart m. JANE LOGAN, and with her moved to Missouri 1849.  Both died in Mo.
                   Frances Beattie m. John W. Cowan, and had a large family, most of which moved west
                   [Note: the word Beattie had been circled and the word Dysart written in the margin to the left  suggesting Beattie had been erroneously typed as the surname, and then corrected to Dysart]
                   Johnson Dysart appears to have moved to Pulaskia [sic] and perhaps died there. m. POLLY  COWAN.
                   Elizabeth Dysart m. Charles Campbell Carson – and most of their descendants moved to
Missouri.

Can you give me the name of some one who can furnish me with data showing the Virginia ancestry of the Carsons?

Have no record of the above, where it says Frances Beattie mar. John W. Cowan, could that mean Frances Dysart?

The Cowans:
John W. Cowan b. 12-4-1783 d. 6-3 1860 mar. Frances Dysart. children: James, Polly Ann, Jackson, Nancy, Elinor, SamuelD.

Do you know any one in or about Somerset or adjoining countirs [sic], who could help me discover the Virginia ancestors of the LOGANS?
Can’t be any help here – unless Mrs. Nancy Trimble Eads, Somerset, Ky care “Little Inn”, would know.
