General Notes: Husband - Robert Beatty
It is matter of definite tradition that Robert Beatty was the first settler within the limits of Jackson township, Venango County, PA, and in the valley of Sugar creek from its mouth to Townville, Crawford county. Very little is known concerning his personal history. He came to that locality from one of the eastern counties of Pennsylvania, probably as early as 1796, as his name occurs on the ledgers of both George Power and Edward Hale prior to 1800. At that point in the course of Sugar creek, where it is crossed by the southern line of Jackson township, the valley of the stream is fully half a mile wide. The channel of the creek is near the bluffs on the east, leaving a level expanse of meadows with a gradual slope from the west. At an early date this was called "the prairie." It was not covered with a dense forest like the surrounding country but merely with a thick growth of underbrush, and was readily reduced to cultivation. Here Robert Beatty made his settlement and lived to the end of his life. When he died he was buried under a clump of trees on the Shaw farm. On the previous day he had attended the funeral of Mrs. John Wilson and is said to have remarked that his own death was likely to occur soon. Its suddenness created a profound sensation. In politics he was Democratic. Of Scotch extraction, he was Presbyterian in his church connection and gave the ground upon which Sugar Creek church was built. [HVC 1890, 689]
