General Notes: Husband - Henry Beatty


The Beatty family of the Conococheague, generally assumed to be of Scotch-Irish origin, was more probably of Irish lineage, in that the Biataghs, Bietaghs or Beattys in Ireland antedated the Plantation of Ulster. According to Tipper's "Collection of Pedigrees," written in the Irish language in 1713, Goffrey, one of the princes from Scotland, who, siding with the Irish monarch Brian Boru, fought at the battle of Clontarf in 1014, was the ancestor of Beytagh, modernized Beatty, Beaty, Beytagh and Battia.

According to tradition, he was a native of County Tyrone, Ireland, was married in Ireland, where his children were born. He determined to emigrate to Pennsylvania and, leaving his wife and children behind him, came to the Cumberland Valley, Pennsylvania, where he died before his wife Catharine and their children were able to join him. The family later came to Antrim township, Cumberland (later Franklin) County, with their mother.
