Son of Joris "George" Beaty/Beattis of Irish/Dutch heritage. Married 1st possible Mary/Polly Hoke and 2nd to Sarah Ross. Father of at least 10 children: Thomas, Levi, Stephen, Isaac, Jeremiah, Robert, John, James, Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Meredith and Catherine. (Some trees claim additional son William who married to Mary Meredith).

There is concern to Robert Beaty having married to a Mary/Polly Hoke**. Possible some of the older children above are by her. It is believed that at least Stephen Beaty was a son of Sarah Ross, as namesake to his grandson and great-grandson Isaac "Ross" Beaty Sr. & Jr. Based on Stephen's birth in 1788 and father's estate settlement in 1811, list Robert's wife Sarah, Robert was married to her at least in this time period. Most likely Sarah was Robert's second wife. The 1840 census has son James Beatty living in Preston Co., VA(WA) with an older female age 70-80. This is most likely Sarah, widowed.

** Preston Co. Journal sites wife daughter of Thomas Hoke.

Also Robert's son Robert Baty was married to a Rebecca Ross, possible a relative to Sarah Ross.

Also family tradition has Robert moving to Ohio, possible to his sons Stephen & Levi in Coshocton Co., OH and Thomas in Knox Co., OH.

Robert acquired a lot of land in the town currently known as Terra Alta in Preston Co., WV. Preston County was formed from Monongalia County in 1818 (then in Virginia, til after the Civil War).

____M age 70-79 - F age 60-69
1840 Census Preston Co., VA(WV) for James Beatty****

**** James Beatty has a female age 70-80 living in his household. This might be Robert's wife Sarah, mother of James.

Working with all the info, correct/incorrect... Robert parents married in 1752, Sarah being widowed in 1840, Robert lived to age 87, with all restrictions.. Robert was born in 1853 and died in 1840, prior to the census. This might be the closest to his dates.

Any addition information is welcome.
