http://www.geocities.com/heartland/pointe/9126/beatty.html Thomas & Sarah Beatty of Montgomery County, Kentucky


Thomas is the oldest established ancestor that has been traced for this Beatty family. Thomas is identified by his will as the father of Nancy "Batty" (sic) who married Joseph See. His relationship to the See family is also identified through family recollection. There is a strong See family tradition that Joseph See Jr. was the son of Nancy Batty. These traditions are reflected in death certificates and early oral family history in at least two branches of the See family. The tradition of a Beatty ancestress was recalled well into the 19th century; however, beyond the name recognition no additional oral family history remains about the family today. The Beatty family is traced to Montgomery County, Kentucky where Thomas Beatty left a very lengthy and detailed will, as well as, documentation of two estate sales. This family has received little if none genealogical research.
Some researchers have identified Thomas Beatty as having married Sarah Turner, the daughter of William and Sarah (Ellzey) Turner of Fairfax and Loudoun counties, Virginia. The documentation of this connection is in the estate papers of Thomasin Ellsey of Fairfax County, Virginia [re: Will Books Q1-R1, 1830-36]. In the estate settlement the record states, "Jennings Beckwith and Henry Harrison are the joint owners of the 4/5th of the share of Sarah Beatty, daughter of Sarah Turner, having purchased out the interest of Thomas, Polly Beatty

MRS. FRANCES MORTON HUBARD
(1739?-1800?)
Frances Morton was the daughter of Joseph Morton (1715-1759) of Richmond County and James City County and Frances Colston Morton, daughter of William Colston of King George County (d. 1721) and Mary Meriwether Colston (d. 1752). Mrs. Hubard was kin and connected to the first families of Virginia: Gooch, Beale, Bathurst, Beckwith, Jennings, Belfield, Meriwether, Mountjoy, etc. (See genealogical chart.)
Mrs. Morton's father was a Burgess from James City County 1756-1758. He was the son of Captain John Morton of Richmond County and Mary Mountjoy Morton. Joseph Morton became a distributing agent for a group of Yorkshire horse breeders. Traveller, an imported stud and race horse, was owned by Morton from 1748-1757. "He was bred by Mr. Crofts at Raby in Yorkshire (who was the fortunate breeder and owner of some of the first horses in England) and was got by his famous horse, Partner, grandsire of King Herod. The dam of Traveller was by Bloody Buttocks (an Arabian) ... Traveller sired horses owned by Thomas Mann Randolph, Robert Skipwith, John Hartwell Cocke, Richard Lee, Littlebury Hardyman, Secretary Thomas Nelson, Lewis Burwell and James Southall."
Following his marriage to Frances Colston c. 1739 Morton continued to live in Richmond County or King George County. In 1742 he owned two lots, #25 and 26, at Leeds Town. Following the death of his mother-in-law, Mary Meriwether2
