PEEFACE
This little book has been compiled for the purpose of
rescuing from unmerited oblivion and preserving in
a permanent form a record of the descendants of John
Beatty and Susanna Asfordby, as well as with the aim
to kindle and keep alive, in those of their line now liv-
ing, a love and veneration for their memories. For a
more detailed account of their antecedents — with proof
of such pedigrees as are therein given — the reader ia
referred to "The Ancestry of Leander Howard Crall."
My brief sketch contains no statement which can not be
verified by history, well authenticated records, and the
highest genealogical authorities.
An ardent desire to preserve family data worthy of
being transmitted to posterity has been the main in-
centive of this work; and, if my kindred shall speak
kindly of my humble effort, studying it with a desire to
find from whom they are sprung, and to be exalted
thereby in their lives, I shall be more than repaid for
the labor and pains expended herein.

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN BEATTY AND
SUSANNA ASFORDBY
FIKST GENERATION
1. JoHN^ Beatty, founder of the distinguished
Beatty Family of Ulster Countv. New York, was born
in Ireland and was a descendant of the ancient landed
and armigerous family of Beatty of that country,
boasting descent from Prince Geoffrey of Scotland, an
ally of Brian Boru, who participated in the battle of
Clontarf, 1014 A.D.
The exact date of the emigration of John Beatty to
America is not known. The first mention of him in the
Ulster County Records is 29 September, 169 l_i_ when he
was returned, with five others, for Sheriff of Ulster
County. The prominence of tliis office would argue that
he had been a resident some time and had proved liis
worthiness of that trust. He was first resident of
Esopus, now Kingston, and later moved to Marble-
town, where he was a large land holder. On 9 June,
1719, a tract of land containing seven hundred acres
was confirmed to him and his heirs by the Trustees of
.Marbletown.
He was Trustee of Marbletown for many years and
was Deputy Surveyor of the Province of New York,
in which capacity he surveyed and laid out the famous
Manor of Livingston at the request of Robert Livings-
ton, the first Patroon, this document being still in pos-
eession of the Livingston family. It was an impor-
tant factor at the time of the notable Anti-rent agi-
tation in New York State during the last century.
John Beatty married 7 November, 1691, Susanna
Asfordby, by whom he had ten children, all of whom
are mentioned in his will. His death occurred in
Ulster County, New York, between 26 April, 1720, and
9 March, 1721, the respective dates of the making and
proving of his will. Besides bis children he mentions
101
102 BEATTY-ASFORDBY
also in his will his "trusty and well beloved wife,
Susanna/' and his "poor afflicted and distressed brother,
Thomas Beatty, in Ireland," who had become blind, and
their half sister who was taking care of him.*
Susanna Asfordby, daughter and co-heiress of the
Honorable. William Asfordby of Stayne-in-the-Marsh,
LincolDshire, England, and Kingston and Marbletown,
Ulster County, Xew York, the wife of the above John
Beatty, was born probably in Ulster County, New York,
soon after her parents emigrated to America. Xo rec-
ord of her birth or baptism has been found, but as the
English records end with the birth of three children to
her parents in England, before their emigration, it is
reasonable to infer that all the others were born in
Kingston or Marbletown, Ulster County, where they
settled.
William Asfordby, the father of Susanna Asfordby,
was a descendant of the royal line of Plantagenet,
Kings of England, through his great-great-great-grand-
i mother, Alice Uraioke, as has been shown elsewhere in
Part 1 of this volume. He brought with him from
England a parchment containing twelve generations of
i his English ancestry, compiled by the then Herald of
i • Arms, R. Chester. This ancient document passed

New York Assembly. He had married in England,
Martha, daughter of William Burton of Burgh-in-the-
Marsh, Lincolnshire, England, and of their eight chil-
dren Susanna was the oldest surviving and, with her
two sisters, Eleanor and Catherine, inherited the estate
of her father and mother; the only son of William
Asfordby dying in infancy. The will of William As-
fordby was made orally, before three friends, of whom
John Beatty was one. His wife, Martha, was made
sole heir and executrix. The will is recorded at Kings-
ton, Ulster County, Xew York.
Susanna Asfordby was a remarkable woman in
many ways; the experiences of those early pioneer
days developing in her the sterling qualities of her
parentage. She was married 7 November, 1691, to
John Beatty and survived him many years. Some time
after his death she removed, with a portion of her fam-
ily, to Prince George County, Maryland, settling in that
portion of it now kno\\Ti as Frederick County. Here
she made large purchases of land. On 17 July, 1733,
she bought one thousand acres from Daniel Dulany,
and in May of the year following she purchased from
Captain John Stoddart nine hundred and thirty-nine
acres of land situated on the west bank of the Mona-
cacy Eiver.
She thus owned about two thousand acres in Fred-
erick County and she and her sons at once acquired a
prominent position among the largest landed proprie-
tors and most eminent citizens of that county. The
Land Records of Prince George County shows that dur-
ing her lifetime Susanna Beatty transferred large farms
to three of her sons, who had accompanied her South,
William, Thomas and Edward, and she seems to have
displayed an energy, combined with a degree of busi-
ness and executive ability, rarely found in a woman.
Her will was the first one recorded in Frederick County.
It is dated 20 June, 1742, and was proved 30 October,
1745,* her death occurring probably shortly before the

latter date. She describes herself as "Susanna Beatty of
Manocosey in Prince George County in the Province of
Maryland," and mentions all of her children but
Charles and Henry. Charles is known to have died in
Marbletown, Ulster County, Xew York, and it is prob-
able that Henry was also dead prior to this date. Her
oldest son, Eobert, also died before his mother, and she
mentions tliis fact in bequeathing his portion to his
children. The original Asfordby Parchment, men-
tioned above, had been brought •with her to Maryland
and now descended to her second son, William; the
oldest son, whose right of inheritance it was, being
dead.
Children:
2 i Robert Beatty, oldest child, bom in Marble-
town about 1692-93. He was member of the
Marbletown Infantry 1715-17; fence viewer
1721; executor of his brother, Charles, 11
March, 1727; freeholder 1728; died prior to
1742, when his mother made her will and
mentioned him as deceased. He married in
1719 Bata, daughter of Joris Middagh of
Heieop, Holland, and Brooklyn, Xew York,
and of his wife, Marritje Martens Van Yssel-
steyn.

mother's will.

was living unmarried when her mother made
her will in 1742.

was a freeholder of Marbletown in 1728. Re-
moved to Maryland, where his will was
BEATTY-ASFORDBY 105
proved in Cecil County 1 June, 1749. He
mentions wife, Elizabeth, and "beloved chil-
dren," but gives no names of the latter,
7 vi Judge Thomas Beatty, baptized 14 March,
1703; removed to Maryland, where he ac-
quired considerable estate. He was Justice of
Prince Georse Countv trom 1739 to 1748; of
Frederick County in^l748 and 1749, 1753 to
1760, and was a member of the Maryland
House of Burgesses 1757 and 1758. His will
was made in February, 1768, and proved 8
April, 1769. In it he mentions wife, Mary,
and children, Thomas, Charles, Susanna (wife
of Nethan Ma}Tiard), James and Sarah, the
last two being minors at the time.
I vii EDWAiiD Beatty, mentioned in ■^\'ills of both
his parents, was born in Ulster County, New
York. Although no record of his baptism is
found on the register of the old Dutch
Church at Kingston, it is presumable that he
was born there, as the family are known to
have been continuous residents of that part till
the father's death and the other children were
all born there. He, too, removed to Maryland
with his mother and acquired land there as
early as 1730. His will was made 3 Feb-
ruary and proved 18 of same month, 1755.
He mentions wife, Susannah, and sons Eze-
kiel, Ezra and Elijah, also an unborn child.
His wife died the following August or Sep-
tember, as her will, also on file at Frederick,
was made 18 August and proved 9 September,
1755. She also mentions sons Ezekiel, Ezra
and Elijah, with Edward, evidently the post-
humous child mentioned by her husband. In
a deed executed in 1790 by Ezekiel and Elijah
it is recorded that this child died soon after
birth.

moved to Maryland, where he died prior to his
mother, although not prior to the date of her
will. His own will, recorded at Annapolis,
was proved 29 January, 1742-43, a few
months before that of his mother. He evi-
dently died unmarried, as he bequeaths all his
property equally to his brothers and sisters
and the children of his deceased brother, Eob-
ert.

He is mentioned in will of his father 1721,

ably died in the interval. No record of his
marriage or evidence that he had any chil-

Beatty and Susanna Asfordby, ^yas baptized at the old
Dutch Church at Kingston, New York, 9 June, 1695.*
He was a member of the Marbleto^\^l Infantry Militia
and a freeholder of Marbletown in 1728. He is men-
tioned in the wills of both his father and mother.
Some years after John Beatty's death his widow re-
moved to Prince George County, ^laryland, settling in
that part now kno^Ti as Frederick County, with several
of her children. William Beatty was one of these.
Here he married Elizabeth Carmack, daughter of Cor-
nelius Carmack of Frederick County. The will of
Cornelius Carmack was made 13 May, 1746.t
Elizabeth Carmack died 15 May, 1756, before her
husband. He does not mention his wife in his will,
which was dated 18 May, 1757, and proved 20 August,
1757. He names as his heirs his son William and his
three daughters, Eleanor, ]\Iary and Anne.i;
In a statement made 1 July, 1856, by Eli Beatty of
Hagerstown, Maryland, son of William Beatty, Junior
(12), and grandson of William Beatty (3), he declares
that his father, William Beatty, inherited the original

THIRD GENEEATION
14 ]SIart3 Beatty (William^, Johni), daughter
and co-heiress of William Beatty (3) and Elizabeth
Carmack. She -vras twice married, her first husband
being Isaac Eltinge, as is recorded in a Petition in
Chancery filed 29 February, 1772, in which is the fol-
lo-vnng clause : "The said Sarah widow of the said Eu-
dolph Eltinge on or about the first day of August 1761
intermarried with a certain Josias Clapham, and the
said Mary Eltinge widow of Isaac Eltinge also on or
about the twenty first day of May 1757 intermarried
with a certain John Gary of Frederick County." In
her father's will, made 18 May, 1757, she is mentioned
as Mary Cary, showing that she was already married to
her second husband, John Cary, at that date, which is
a little earlier than the one mentioned in the Petition
in Chancery.*
John Cary, the second husband of Mary Beatty, was
a considerable landholder of Frederick County, Mary-
land, as is shown by the land records at the Land Office
at Annapolis, Md. ; the patents granted to him between
the years 1752 and 1764 covering about eleven hundred
acres of land.f His -^vill is dated 23 November, 1773,
and was probated in May, 1777. He makes his wife,
Mary, his executrix and divides his estate between her
and their five surviving children, two having died in
infancy, beside whom he expressed the desire to be
buried.t

17 Mary3 Middagh (Martha^ Beatty, John^), the
daughter of Johannes ]\Iiddagh by his wife, Martha
Beatty (9), was born 7 May, 1732.* Her father was
the son of Joris or George Middagh, the son of Gaptain
Aert Teunissen Middagh of Heicop, Holland, who emi-
grated to Xew Xetherland in the early days of the new
colony and became one of its leading citizens. The
exact date of his emigration is not known, but Stiles,
the Brookl}Ti historian, records the fact that he re-
ceived a patent for one hundred acres of land 2-i Octo-
ber, 1654, at the ^Yallabout, Long Island, now a part of
the city of Brooklyn, Xew York. The wife of Captain
Aert Teunissen was Breckje Hansen Bergen, daughter
of Hans Hansen Bergen and Sara de Eapelje. Hans
Hansen Bergen was, as his name indicates, Hans son of
Hans, of Bergen, Xorway. He was the founder of the
Bergen Family of Brookhm, which still has many
prominent representatives in that city and elsewhere.
He emigrated to Xew Amsterdam at a very early
period. His wife, Sara de Eapelje, is celebrated as be-
ing the first female white child born in the colony of
New Xetherland. She was the daughter of Joris Jan-
sen de Eapelje and Catherine, daughter of Joris Trico
of Paris, France, who were among the Walloons and
French who, in 1623, helped to establish the first per-
manent settlement in Xew Xetherland. A most inter-

Captain Joris Middagh, the son of Captain Aert
Teunissen Middagh, seems to have settled in the neigh-
borhood of Kingston, the home of the Beatty family,

Middagh married Robert Beatty (2), the oldest son of
John Beatty (1) and Susanna Asfordby, and John Mid-

He was an officer in the American Revolution,* and his
great-great-grandsons have in their possession (1907)
two pistols captured by him from a British officer, and
an old land patent issued to him for military service
and signed by Thomas Jefferson.
John Dhu Gary was not only a physician of promi-
nence in his native county, but was also a man of high
literary attainments, being noted as one of Maryland's
poets. He owned and published in Frederick, during
the years 179S-1800, a weekly newspaper which he
named "The Ke}"" in compliment to his friend, General
John Eoss Key. He represented his District in the
Legislature several terms. He married in 1788 Alice
Lee, daughter of Philip Eichard Francis Lee and Elinor
Lee of Charles County, Maryland. Philip E. F. Lee

sons became prominent in their professions. By the
second marriage of her father. Dr. Fritchie, she had
one half-sister, Mrs. Catherine Thomas of Frederick,

7 December, 1824, Bishop Johns of the
Protestant Episcopal Church performing the
ceremony. After some years residence in
Frederick they removed to Fort Ball, Ohio,
where General Brish became a distinguished

Frederick to Tiffin in a covered carriage, the
first one brought to Seneca County, landing in
Tiffin on July 6, 1828, a Sunday afternoon.
They took with them also Mrs. Brish's piano,
likewise the first to be seen in Seneca County.
It was constructed in London, England, at an
early date, and is now in the possession of the
Tifiin Historical Society. Among the most
important trusts confided to General Brish
after his settling in Ohio was the manage-
ment of the affairs of the Seneca Indians and
his appointment by the Government to escort
them from Ohio to their new Reservation
West of the Mississippi Eiver in the year 1831 ;
for which service he received a large grant of
land near Tiffin, upon which handsome estate
he lived in affluence until his death in the late
fifties, his widow continuing her residence
there until her death, 14 March, 1885. They

FIFTH GENERATION
32 George^ Gary (John Dhu,"* Mary^ Beatty, Wil-
liam,2 John^), oldest son of Dr. John Dhu Gary (18)
and Alice Lee, was born 7 August, 1789, near "Allen's
Fresh/' Gharles County, Maryland. After a classical
education he studied law with Chief Justice Taney in
Frederick, Maryland, and later he settled in Georgia.
He was a member from Georgia of the eighteenth Con-
gress and was often heard in debate with the master
statesmen of that period, being a ripe, classical scholar
and a fluent speaker. In the annals of Congress for
1823 are recorded two of his speeches; one an answer to
the speech of Daniel Webster on the Grecian Cause, the
other an answer to Buchanan's advocacy of the erection
of a monument to George ^Yashington. Both will attest
his eloquence and erudition. He was a political favorite,
his friends deeming no position of honor beyond his
attainment, and he was once named as a probable can-
didate for the Presidency of the United States, his
chances being weighed against those of his friend, Wil-

"Dear Brother
"Since my last Letter to you I was unfortunately
attack'd by the throat by a disease in some cases fatal,
but in mine thank God I very trivial — By twisting my
stocking foot around my neck — bathing my feet &
sweating like a laborious Son of Vulcan, in two or
three days it bade me farewell — Mr. Stevens had nearly
kickd the Buckett — And two or three more who board
with me were also attack'd — The major part of us who
were seized -nith the soar throat were first attackd with
a swelling on the inneside — But mine oweing I dare say
to my continually keeping it expanded by meat &c —
ewell'd on the outer side — But now, as it was before I
was attack'd, my only mortification is that I am obliged
on account of my rav'nous appetite to continue last at
the table — But I hope that false modesty will soon van-
ish.
"On Sunday last our Poorhouse valued at perhaps
two thousand & odd pounds was burned to the ground
— It was really a piteous sight to behold the poor
BEATTY-ASFOEDBY 157
Idiots shivering in the cold, lamenting the downfall of
their quiet Habitation — How it caught fire — God
knows ! — I suppose you are almost tired of my Letters
— continually writing — not a word of news — and my
Letters wrote so bad — TSTiy Sir you must really excuse
me — because people come here to have business done, &
must start in a few moments — and those few moments
only I have in which to arrange my Ideas which are
few Indeed God knows —
"I have been very busy this week or two, making out
my Masters fees — you may rely upon it a student at
Law mindfull of his buisiness & his masters has not
much time to spare —
"Study hard My Boy and be assured in three or four
j'ears you will reap the Benifit — Looking in a Balti-
more Paper last night which was confirming the truth
of Gister's being made by Boneparte which infuses De-
lirium in Every Democratic perecranium — I was sur-
prised on hearing that you were Consul for L^. States
at Cape Eepublican, & had a notion to get angry —
when I recollected myself — reflecting that perhaps there

"Dear Robert -
"I received your last letter by Mr. Stone with all
those Emotions which an affectionate Brother will ever
feel on those occasions. I felt perhaps more than ordi-
nary pleasure, partly from my not receiving a single
line from you for a great length of time and partly from
a gratification which will always result to my mind on
seeing an only Brother, one as dear to my soul as my
existence itself, alive to something like feeling and
brotherly affection.
"After I had written to you repeatedly, and received
nothing in return, I had like to have made a rather
precipitate resolution, not to have written you again.
But nature on her formation of man implanted in his
Bosom certain qualifications, which and which only ren-
der life sustainable, and which cannot be eradicated un-
til a man so far departs from his nature as to become
inferior to the beasts, over whom natures God originally '
gave him Dominion. Among those passions or affec-
tions of the mind is the love one brother should ever
bear toward the other, and it was this mental stimulus
which urged me me to write, whether You did or did
not answer my letters.
"Give me permission to inform you, my
Brother, that you have unfortunately taken up as er-
roneous an Idea as I have ever heard read or conceived
of. You indirectly declare that you came from the
Hands of the author of your existence, a Brute beast —
Gracious Heaven protect me. / should be extremely

sorry to think so indeed. You well know my Ideas of
your Understanding. And that you should say you
were by nature lazy, really astonishes me. You also
know my Ideas of Duty. Duty towards your parents,
yourself and Society. But it is now almost ten o Clock
you must absolutely excuse me writing more this even-
ing for I am fearful Mr. ShauS has gone to bed as he
starts early in the morning.
"Write to me frequently give my love and respects to
Father & ]\Iother & Family & inform them I am pretty
well — I did expect letters both from Mamma and Ma-
riah by Mr. Stone but was disappointed,
"Farewell and believe me to be

that when any repairs of buildings or fortifications are
represented to me as necessary, the amount of which
will exceed fifty dollars, that I should state the same to
your office, that it may be submitted tb the Secretary of

disbursement made to Joseph Trickey, a seafaring man,
for the freight of clothing and powder, who was pre-
vented, by absence, from transmitting his account to
Lieut. Swett, to whom it should have been offered, be-
fore Mr. Swett last transmitted his accounts. I have
made Capt. Gates a paj-ment in consideration of the
aforesaid disbursements, but have concluded it is my
duty to make a representation to you upon the subject,
and obtain your directions and a pecuniary remittance,
previously to making any further pa}Tiient, and have
rendered him under an obligation to account to me for
what has been paid, provided he should at any future
time, by your request, transmit his accounts to you, and
receive Repayment of the whole, not through my hands,

obituary notice of martin" knupp.
"It was with the deepest feelings of sorrow that the
community learned of the death of Mr. Martin Ejiupp
Tuesday morning. He passed peacefully away at his
home on West Washington street, having been in poor
health for a number of years, . . .
BEATTY-ASFOEDBY 165
"Martin Knupp was well known throughout this part
of Ohio, and in all his business dealings was recognized
as an honest and honorable man. He was a citizen re-
spected by everybody. He was an uncompromising
Democrat, and before his ill health was always found
in the front ranks of his party laboring in its interest
and for the advancement of its principles.
"Mr. Knupp was born and raised in TiSin, Ohio,
where he attended Heidelberg college for a number of
years. He was also a student at Kenyon college. He
was a son of Hon. Geo. Knupp, who was a prominent
citizen and politician of Tiffin. His mother was Fran-
ces Eitchie, who came from a family of noted and tal-
ented personages. He was born on the 4th of August,
1841, and died Feb. 12th, 1908.
"Mr. Knupp studied law with Judge Pillars of Tif-
fin, who is now dead, and practiced with Judge Mc-
Cauley, who is still living at Tiffin, being recognized as
one of the ablest lawyers in Ohio. He moved to Ottawa
in 1867, where he engaged in law practice with Hon.
David I. Brown. He was married in Ottawa to Miss
Mary Minerva Pugh on Nov. 26th, 1868, to which
union two daughters were born, Frances and Georgia,
who are left 'svith their mother to mourn the departure
of a companion and father.
"From Ottawa Mr. Knupp removed with his family
to Deshler, where he continued to practice law. During
his residence in Deshler he was elected to the office of
Prosecuting Attorney of this county, when he removed
to Napoleon in 1878. He served two terms as Prose-
cutor with distinction and fidelity, , . .
"After his term of office he formed a law partnership
with the late Walter Stephenson, which partnership
continued until the removal of Mr. Stephenson from
the county and state.

at the \Yellington last night, to take appropriate action

Knupp, the honored and esteemed president of this Bar
Association passed from our midst at the age of 67
years :
*^e, the Henry County Bar Association, in special
assembly, express our heartfelt sympathy and sorrow
upon the loss which this Association has sustained.
"Eesolved, That in the death of brother Knupp, our
Bar has lost an able and esteemed member, who as a
lawj'er was always faithful and true; a student who
thoroughly mastered his cases; and an untiring and
zealous worker; whose briefs always showed rare tact
and ability. He had high sense of professional honor.
While he justly appreciated his relations to his clients
and strictly and fully performed his duty to them,
neither the glory of success nor the hope of reward ever
tempted him to take an unfair advantage or do a dis-
honorable act, such was his high sense of professional
honor that he regarded the ethics of his profession as
sacred.
"Eesolved, That the sympathy of the Association is
extended to his family in their loereavement and that a
copy of these sentiments be spread upon the journal of
the Court of Common Pleas of this County.
