Dear Mr. Crossle,
Having seen your account of the Beatty family in the “Mid Ulster Mail” I can add the following information given mostly by H. R. Popham Baker M. R. C. S @ 77 Accringt… [?] Road, Blackburn, Lanes. Grandson of Capt. John Popham Baker R. N.
James Beatty, who was an officer of the Revenue at Derry 2nd son of Vincent Beatty of Clones married Anne Smyth and had four sons and two daus.
1.Sir. William Beatty, Surgeon on the Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar. He preserved the bullet with which Nelson was killed, He Subsequently became Surgeon to Greenwich Hospital, was Knighted 28 May 1831. and d. unm, 25 March 1842.
2.Vincent, Cornet 2nd Light Dragoons m 26 Oct 1812 Belinda Butler
3.George, General, Royal Marines d. s. p.
4.James b. 1784 d. 27 Nov 1818 unm.
1.Anna b. 1782 m. 11 July 1805 Capt. John Popham Baker R. N. and had issue
Fredrick Walter Baker b 16 Apr 1814 baptized 15 Jan 1815 at the parish Church of Maydow, Co. Longford by his cousin Rev. Robert Beatty, Archdeacon of Ardagh
2.Eliza m 1 Oct 1808 Rev. Robert Beatty Archdeacon of Ardagh
It would appear from this that the James Beatty who died umn. 27 Nov 1818 was the son of James Beatty of the Revenue.
I have not discovered the parentage of Belinda Butler who married Vincent Beatty but from her name she evidently belonged to the Waterville family. Possibly she is a dau. of Theobold Butler and Belinda Yielding tho’ not mentioned in Burks’s Landed Gentry.
Yours Sincerely
G. D. Beutchwell
