Saga of the Beatys (Portions copied here, go to address above for entire book)

Virginia and Sullivan Co., Tennessee. The Tennessee area was then known as North Carolina as was a portion of the Virginia area, now known as Washington County, Virginia. Consequently, one census record might give North Carolina as a birth place while another might give Virginia.

Washington County, Virginia near Abingdon, Virginia, or Bristol,Tennessee, as this part of Virginia was known as Sullivan County, Tennessee when the state lines were rearranged later.

Other contemporary families on the Fentress County line, who were to be connected by marriage to both groups of Beatys, were the William Travis, the Jeremiah Odle and the Crockett families. (As this book progresses it will be seen how the connections come in.)

An old deed dated August 20, 1820, from John McIver of Fairfax County, Virginia to Margaret Odle, widow of Jeremiah Odle, and John, Samuel, Rebecca, Abraham, Polly, William, Nancy, and Margaret, all being children of Jeremiah Odle, conveys to the children a tract of land on Lick Creek in Overton County, later Fentress County, Tennessee, comprising 401 acres.

The deed states that John McIver sold said land to Jeremiah Odle during his life time, that Jeremiah had paid part of it, that since his death his widow and children had paid the balance of $1000. From evidence, it is assumed Jeremiah settled on this land much earlier, perhaps in the early 1800's.

'Saga of the Beatys'
Thomas P., first child of Alexander and Catherine Beaty, was born December 22, 1802. Thomas is listed in a book on "Raccoon" John Smith who helped Reverend Campbell from Virginia, organize the Christian church in Kentucky. It is likely that Thomas was a charter member but there is no proof. He, with a partner, was in the salt petre business at one time.

Thomas P. Beaty married Nancy Odle, born April 22, 1812, daughter of Jeremiah Odle. Thomas is listed in the 1829 census of Washington County, Arkansas but the exact date of their arrival is unknown. They settled near what is now Cincinnati, Arkansas, at the foot of the mountain later known as Beaty Mountain. Here he built a large log house with a 'dog trot', or what we might call a "breezeway" today, open hall. It stood about 200 feet southeast of the little family cemetery on what is now the Gilbreath farm, in an open flat.

Thomas and Nancy's first child, was Alvin, born June 3, 1833, later known as Captain Alvin. At the beginning of the Civil War Alvin organized a volunteer company and joined General Stand Watie's Confederate Command at Fort Gibson, Indian Territory and was promoted to Captain.

His younger brothers, William J., Ollie and Travis(Bud) and a friend, Polk Crozier, served under him. It is told that William liked to stir up trouble to cause others to fight when they didn't particularly want to so Captain Alvin and the others had the added task of keeping him in the line of duty instead of mischief.

Alvin married Annie West, born April 15, 1843. They owned land near his parents' until about 1877 and here the following children were born;

I--Thomas, born July 2, 1867, Sallie, born March 28, 1869, George, born June 13, 1871, Wallie, born February 14, 1874, Mary, born April 23, 1877. They then moved too farm near Audubon Texas, where Hattie was born May 7, 1879, Annie and Nannie, twins were born February 20, 1881, and Ollie was
born September 13, 1887.

III- Horton P. (Tump) Beaty, third child of Thomas P. and Nancy, was born 1838. He was killed by Pin Indians under Zeke proctor's command, at the age of 25. His sister, Catherine, stood off one member of the band with a butcher knife, at her door, threatening to slit his throat if he came nearer.
IV--Catherine, fourth child of Thomas P. and Nancy Beaty, was born 1840. She married Zebulon Pettigrew, born 1818, in 1875. Mr. Pettigrew was County Sheriff of Washington County for several years and was serving at the time of their marriage. Catherine kept a boarding house for several
years. She died August 8, 1908 and Zebulon died 1900. Both are buried in Evergreen cemetery, Fayetteville.
V--Travis L. (Bud), fifth child of Thomas P. and Nancy Beaty, was born July 22, 1842. He served in the Civil War under command of his brother, Captain Alvin. While he and his friend, Polk Crozier, were on their way to Huntsville, Arkansas to have their horses shed they were taken prisoner and kept until the end of the war, released 1866. Release papers are still in the hands of his grandson, J. Okle Beaty. They are signed by Frank Crop, Bureau RFTS 20 Regiment 22nd. Other wording is not legible. On the back of the release are ration orders for several days, a time signed by different parties. While in prison he developed "consumption" and was never well afterward.

page 18 -----------------
He served as County Deputy Sheriff, receiving his commission January 22, 1873. (paper still in the hands of his grandson) from Z. M. Pettigrew, County Sheriff.

He carried money from stores where there were no banks near, into Fayetteville, for banking. One receipt still in existence is for carrying one package of currency for J. M. Chandler to the banking house in Fayetteville, receipt signed by W. H. Etter, 1873.

He was accepted into the Cincinnati Masonic Lodge November 5, 1877, signed by N. J. Black, Secretary. He and his brother, William, were also in business in Fayetteville a short time in 1873, probably a Livery Stable known as "Beaty Brothers" One ledger entry dated 1873 is "To Hack Hire",
one day $4 to Dr. Stark. There were also entries for horse feed.

Travis L. lived with his mother until her death in 1873 then he married Martha Burkett, born December 24, 1845. They were married September 6, 1875. They lived north of Summers, Arkansas when their first child, J. Odle, was born June 30, 1876. Some time later they moved to Turnerville,
Texas where his brother, William J. had preceded him and where they operated a store and freighting business .

Here a second child, Dove, was born 1878. Dove married James English, their children, Travis who lives in Dallas, Texas, has three daughters, and James who is single and lives in Little Peck, Arkansas.

Due to Travis' ill health, the family moved to Eureka Springs, Arkansas having heard the spring water there was healing. However, his health grew worse and in a short time they returned to his old home near Summers, Arkansas where he died 1880.

His son, J. Odle, then bought land near Ballard Creek southwest of Summers, known as Beaty Prairie and lived there with his mother until her death in 1922. He then married Caddie Greene, daughter of Judge H. P. Green of Prairie Grove, Arkansas. Their children:

A--J. Odle, married Ila Jean Smith. They live on a farm near Summers, Arkansas. Their children: 1--Iris Jeannie, 2--William Odle (Bud), 3--Robert Lynn.

Sarah Little died September 6, 1934, Ewen died 1903. Both are buried in Ganderville Cemetery near Summers. So ends the account of Thomas P. Beaty's line. In an obscure family cemetery near his old home lies the dust of Thomas P., his wife, Nancy, three sons, Oliver Horton P. (Thump), Travis L. and Joe, first born son of William Jasper. Thomas P. died 1847, age 45. At one time there were other discernable graves there but time has obliterated any trace of them.

"After Carter's death, the children lived with Margaret (Odle) & Z. M. Pettigrew according to the Washington Co. 1870 Census, have copies of Washington Co., AR court records where Z.M. was executor of Carter's estate and was made guardian of the children. The 3rd child, Alice Carter Odle, must have been born after Carter's death, because the first court records mentioned only Simmie & Hugh."
