BEATY posted by Sandie Floyd Kane on Sunday, March 7, 1999: I am researching my Great Great Grandfather, R A Beaty. R A Beatty was born in Ireland and came to America around late 1700 or early 1800. He was married twice (we are kin by his first marriage). His sons could not get along with their new step mother so Alford, Robert & Johnny ran away and came to Texas. Robert was 14 at the time. Robert saw his father once more when he and his daughter (Fairy Kathleen) went back to see him in 1908. The first RA Beatty was 98 years old when he died at Americus, GA (the county seat of Plains, GA. It is about 10-12 miles from Americus. R A Beatty was court clerk there for many years. RA owned 600 acres in Americus GA. This is the information relayed to me by my grandmother Fairy Kathleen Beaty Floyd Reeves before her death. Since she says she met him in 1908, I am hoping to get further information on him. My grandmothers father, Robert Abraham Beaty, born in GA in 1854, abandoned his family in Texas sometime between 1915 and 1920 and left for Mobile, Alabama where he later died. His family in Texas never saw him again, so piecing this together has been rather difficult. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Sandie Floyd Kane Sandie_Kane@hotmail.com
