Descendants of Leon G. Beatty
By Robert Lane
First Generation
1. Leon G. Beatty1–2
was born about 1704.
Marvin
Beatty reported the following around 2000: "It is possible that Walter is
descended from John Beatty as he had several sons who scattered throughout the
south. It is also possible that he was a
descendant of John and Margaret Montgomery Beatty of Chester County,
Pennsylvania." As more information
has become readily available, researchers have suggested Leon Beaty and Jean
Howitt as Walter's parents. Jean appears
in tax records in Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania. This information on Walter's parents should
be considered to be unproven, perhaps even speculative.
He
died about 1772 at the age of 68 in Cumberland, Pennsylvania,
United States.
Leon G. Beatty and Jean
Howitt were married about 1730. Jean Howitt1 was born in 1712. She died in 1772 at the age of 60 in Cumberland, Pennsylvania, United
States.
Leon G. Beatty and Jean
Howitt had the following child:
2 i. Walter Beatty, born
1752.
Note: This
surname has many different spellings, with some of the more common spellings
being Beatty, Beaty and Baty. Many
times, an individual’s surname would be spelled differently in various
records. This document uses a standard
spelling of Beatty. Researchers should
decide for themselves which spelling applies to a specific person.
Second Generation
2. Walter Beatty1,3–4 was born in 1752 in Pennsylvania, United States. Marvin Beatty reported that he was able to
determine this date from Walter's pension records.
He
served in the military about 1775 in The American Revolutionary War. He enlisted in Captain Robert Adams' company,
Colonel Irvine's 6th Pennsylvania
regiment in September 1775, in Cumberland Co., PA. He went on an expedition to Canada, fought in the battle of
Three Rivers on June 8, 1776, and in some skirmishes. He was discharged on October 25, 1776 at Fort
George
due to ill health. He later served
frequent tours with the Virginia Militia and was in battles at Allamance, Guilford, Haw River, and
others.
He
immigrated before 1809 to Hawkins, Tennessee, United States. He is listed in the county's 1809 tax
records. Some research report that he
immigrated around 1790. If the Walter
Beatty found in the 1790 and 1800 censuses is the correct one, this date
appears to be incorrect.

United States.
It lists 1 male under 16, 5 males
16-over and 6 females. He appeared in
the census in 1800 in Franklin,

reported "January 18, 1866, Marvin Ulysses Ellis was born in Dubois County, Indiana
to the home of James M. and Mary Ellis.
His many friends, neighbors, and a host of acquaintances knew him as
Mike Ellis. The community was shocked to
learn of his sudden death due to a heart attack on September 13th, 1945 at the
age of 79 years, 7 months, and 15 days.
He was a tiller of the soil and took great pride in producing good livestock
and crops. September 18th, 1887 he was
married to Emma J. Lane. Two daughters were born to this home, Mary
and Olive--now Mrs. Mary Owen and Mrs. Olive Ballard, living in West Baden,
Indiana. This home was unbroken through
a long period of years; then seven years ago Mrs. Ellis passed away. He leaves three grandchildren: Mrs. Donald
Freeman, Mrs. Paul Cornwell and Kenneth Owen, three great grand children:
Patricia and Rieta Ann Cornwell and Larry Joe Freeman; three brothers: Tom
Ellis of West Baden, Ellsworth Ellis of Cuzco
and Joe Ellis of Orleans. September 5th, 1940 he married Mary E. Giles,
who was a faithful companion and yet lives to cherish the memories of their
home and the association of friends, neighbors and relatives. He was a member of the West Baden Methodist Church. His home was the symbol of hospitality. He was sincere in dealing with his
fellowmen. The community has lost a good
citizen. The eternal values of life were
exaulted by his living and tomorrow will be better by his having lived. We think of his life in these beautiful words
of the poet:
I see from my house by the side of the road,
By the side of the highway of life,
The men who press with the ardor of hope,
The men who are faint with the strife,
But I turn not away from their smiles nor their tears
Both parts of an infinite plan--
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man."
He was buried at Ames Chapel Cemetery in Orange,
Indiana,

The Springs Valley Herald reported "Again we are made to realize that life
is uncertain and death is sure, as we come into this sanctuary this afternoon
to pay our respects to our loved one and friend, who believed in the words of
the Psalmist who said, 'God is our refuge and strength in time of trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth
be removed, and the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.' Amanda Louisa Whittinghill was born January
4, 1882, at Hillham, Indiana,
to Dr. Benjamin F. and Matilda Weller Whittinghill, and departed from this life
on January 26, 1959, at the age of 77 years and 22 days. In the year of 1901, she was united in
marriage to Thomas G. Ellis, who was well known in this county. To this union were born six children, four of
whom have preceded her in death--Lawrence and Enid in infancy, Vivian Ellis
Howard in 1944, and Arnold G. Ellis in 1956.
Surviving are a daughter, Rose Evelyn Ellis, and a son, Frank A. Ellis,
both of Indianapolis; a son-in-law, Vane R. Howard, Hammond, Indiana, and two
daughters-in-law, Elizabeth Ellis, Indianapolis, and Kathleen Ellis, West
Baden, Indiana, and one sister, Sophia J. Ellis, Cuzco, Ind.; one brother, J.
Logan Whittinghill of Ellsworth, Ind.; eight grandchildren and four
great-grandchildren, and a number of nieces and nephews. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis lived several years each
in French Lick and Paoli, while Mr. Ellis was engaged in the business field and
serving as a county official. In 1933,
they and son Arnold and family, moved to a farm near Ames Chapel. Their home was known for its hospitality and
a welcome was always extended to neighbors and friends. It is in this home that the companion passed
away in 1947, but after his passing Mrs. Ellis stayed in the home which she
shared with her daughter, Rose. It seemed
she had borne a great deal of suffering in the loss of the different members of
her family, but she seldom complained and still held to the Master's hand for
strength and faith to carry on. Then in
1956, the family was dealt another loss in the passing of Arnold, upon whom she
had depended so greatly after the death of the companion. For the last two and one half years, she had
made her home with Rose, where she departed from this earth to her heavenly
reward. In 1944, she became a member of
the Ames Chapel
Methodist
Church. To the church and the community, she was
known as Mom Ellis, and was always ready to serve her fellowman in any way she
could, and until she moved to Indianapolis, she served as an
officer in the Women's Society of Christian Service and as a part time Sunday
School teacher. After moving from this
community, she established herself in a church nearby her home, and as late as
last Sunday enjoyed being in God's house for worship. She also was oldest member of the French Lick
Order of Eastern Star, having received a fifty year membership pin several
years ago. We will always remember Mom
Ellis as a quiet and loving person sitting at her desk reading good books and
magazines, and in so doing stored a wealth of knowledge, which she passed on to
others. The youth in the church looked
forward to her entertaining them in special programs, with readings and
recitations, which she could so ably render. She lived a common life, but
nature was one of her greatest interests and she spent many happy hours working
among the flowers in her garden. And we
all realize that when we walk and work in the great out doors, we learn to
appreciate to the fullest extent, the many wonders God has given us to
enjoy. And so it was with Mom, for as
she walked and talked with Him, she saw the beauty of the Sunrise
and Sunset, heard the song of the birds of the air, and felt the wind as it
gently brushed her face. There was a
great love for music in her heart, and she knew a great deal about it, and her
children were given the opportunity to accomplish much in the field of music
and their accomplishment meant so much to her.
So let us not question the wisdom of the Master, when He quietly and
tenderly called our loved one from us.
It was as she would have wished it to have been, and her Father in
Heaven knows she was ready to answer His gentle knock upon her door and to hear
His invitation to step from this earth, across the threshold into Heaven. And we believe if we could hear words from
her lips, she would say, 'It is good for me to draw near to God, for I have put
all my trust in Him.' Her life has been
a good life and a challenge to us all to walk a little closer to the One who
knows best and whose love passeth all understanding." She was buried at Ames Chapel Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.

the poet Holmes,
And if I should live to be
The last leaf upon the tree
In the spring let them smile, as I do now
At the old forsaken bough where I cling.
And so her life has been a mosaic of joy and sadness and her relatives and

she had lived almost a century.
Survivors include her daughter-in-law, two grandchildren, one
great-granddaughter, and several nieces and nephews. Years are fleeting and a brief history of a
great life is so soon written on paper, but the influence and example of the
life of Cloe Anna Beatty will last throughout Eternity and the world is a
better place because she lived, worked, loved, and now is at peace." She

Reid served in the military
in World War II. His World War II
enlistment record shows that he enlisted on December 6, 1943. Reid was a nose gunner in a B-24 Liberator
bomber. His crew flew their Liberator
from Roosevelt Field on Long Island, across the Atlantic Ocean, the
Mediterranean Sea, North Africa, the Middle East, then to India,
where Reid spent his 19th birthday. From
there, they flew the "Hump" over the Himalayas into China,
arriving in September 1944. The food was horrible. Donald Hagan remembers his mother packing
small boxes with fig newtons, gum and other goodies to send to Reid. He was in the 14th Air Force, headquartered
at Kunming,
China,
although his outfit was stationed farther east.
His squadron was charged with patrolling the South China Sea, interdicting Japanese
shipping and destroying supplies intended for Japanese land forces still
fighting in the interior. The operation was called the China-Burma-India (CBI)
Theatre. The 14th Air Force was the operational
descendent of Claire Chennault's famed Flying Tigers. By the time Reid entered China,
most of the Japanese fighter force had retreated to the Homeland to defend
against the B-29's that were laying waste to their cities. However, they had to be watchful of
anti-aircraft fire. These aircraft went
on their patrols alone and were assigned a particular area of ocean to
cover. They carried about 18 hours of
fuel and their missions were about 16 hours in duration. The B-24 had a ceiling of about 32,000 feet,
so if a typhoon came in, they had to fly through it - the storms were too tall
to fly over and too wide to fly around with limited fuel. On one particular mission, the squadron sent
two aircraft (Reid could not remember why).
To get home, they had to fly through a typhoon. When they emerged, they were over Hainan (Hainandao)
Island off North Vietnam, which
was Japanese occupied, and the plane was immediately subjected to anti-aircraft
fire. While transiting the storm, the
crew had left their battle stations and gathered in the fuselage behind the
flight deck. They were hit by at least
one burst of flak, which took off a portion of one of the two vertical
stabilizers and the rear gun turret, which made the aircraft very difficult to
fly. They were low on fuel, so the pilot
had feathered one prop, and they were lost.
The pilot ordered the crew to bail out while he stayed to try to land
the aircraft, but the crew took a vote (very unmilitary of them) and told him
they would all bail out together or they would all ride it down together. They finally found a field (their comm gear
was primitive and they had no contact with their home base), but they didn't
know which side it belonged to. The fuel
gauges were on "E", so they landed.
The field turned out to be British.
No one knows what became of the second aircraft. Another incident involved them arriving in
the vicinity of their home field one dark evening and not being able to find
it. There were no landing lights. The navigator was pulling his hair, positive
he was in the right place. Again, fuel
was low, one of two engines had been feathered, and nerves were frayed. Just when they were preparing for a crash
landing, the runway lights came on. The
pilot made a hot descent and landed safely.
It turns out that the field commander had been warned that there were
Japanese bombers in the area and had ordered lights out and radio silence. They could hear the plane circling and the
pleas on the radio, but would not answer.
When it became clear that the craft was running out of fuel and about to
crash, the order was given to turn the lights on for a short period. By the spring of 1945, no more complete crews
were coming over. Replacements would come in by ones and twos. These people had
to receive "on-the-job" training that the initial crews had received
state-side prior to deployment. Reid
volunteered for these training missions.
People had to earn points to get rotated home. Everyone had to accumulate around 300 hours
to get out of the country and home. The
volunteer hours spent on training missions counted toward rotation home. Just as replacements came in by ones or twos,
veterans left the same way, as sufficient points were accumulated. By the time Reid was eligible to depart, he
was competing with guys who were coming out the jungles of Burma after 3 or 4 years; those
guys got first dibs on flights to the U.S. One could opt for a berth on a ship, but some
of those ships took 3 months to reach the U.S., due to stopovers in the Philippines,
Australia,
and Hawaii. Reid kept haunting the Military Air Transport
offices in India
and finally got a seat on a flight to San
Francisco, then to Indianapolis. He rode a Greyhound Bus to French Lick,
arriving about 4 a.m. on July 4, 1945.
He deposited his duffle bag in front of the Star Store and walked
home. Walking out old Highway 145, he
noticed something strange. It finally
dawned on him: trees, lush, full, trees.
Most of his training from September 1943 to September 1944 had been in
areas of the country where there weren't many trees; the area of China
where he was based was barren. Wood was
a precious commodity; it was needed for fuel by the peasants. Needless to say, his arrival home in those
warm, predawn, hours was a cause for much joy.
He was about 10 weeks short of his 20th birthday. Reid received the Bronze Star, the Air Medal,
and possibly, the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Don Hagan was unable to locate any of these and Reid couldn't remember
where they were. His first wife took one
of them for a memento.
He died on May 23, 2006 at
the age of 80 at Orange
County
Hospital
in Paoli, Orange,
Indiana,
United States.
