  A BEATTY Ancestor list, by Ross E Parker, Toledo Ohio 1932, states the above plus that John BEATTY came to the firelands in 1810 and purchased 40,000 acres near Milan, Erie County, Ohio.

  Quote from "the firelands pioneer" Book 1, June 1865:

  The first permanent settler in the township was Thomas JAMES, an Irishman, who emigrated here from one of the New England States (New London, CT.)in 1810 and located in the south part of section four. He had come over to this country several years before. He purchase his land in Connecticut without having seen it. It proved to be a good tract of valuable land.

  He was accompanied by John BEATTY, Esq., another Irishman, whose object was to explore the country with a view to buy a large quantity of land.

  They traveled through the State of Pennsylvania, and there enlisted in their enterprise a brother-in-law of BEATTY, James FORSYTH, who came on with them with his family, and located in the north part of Oxford (township) the same year, being assured by his brother-in-law that he would come on with his family in a year or two. FORSYTHs later son-in-law was John HARRIS.

  They crossed the mouths of the Vermillion and Huron rivers on sand bars. While FORSYTH and BEATTY, with Jabez Wright and (Almon) Ruggles, went prospecting for lands, JAMES went directly to the lands he had already purchased, which he reached in the same month of July.

  But the largest colony of settlers came on in the fall of 1815. John BEATTY, at the close of the war,[of 1812] having made a large investment in lands in Perkins township, including nearly all of section one, removed his family, and was accompanied by the following persons with their respective families, viz: Julius House, Joseph Taylor, Eleizur Bell, Jesse Tayulor.....(end of passage)
