William Able Beatty       Born: 10 Jun 1761, Lincoln/Catawba County, NC Died:  25 Aug 1818, Lincoln/Catawba County, NC   William Able Beatty was the son of Thomas Beaty and Mary Margaret Abernathy.  William Able was born 10 Jun 1761 in Tryon/Lincoln/Catawba County, NC.  In his time, the surname "Beatty" was frequently spelled "Beaty".     Children of Thomas Beatty and Mary Margaret Abernathy Name Birth Date Death Date Spouse William Able Beatty 10 Jun 1761 25 Aug 1818 Isabella McCorkle Margaret Beatty Abt. 1773 Abt. 1850 James Reed John Beatty Abt. 1775 07 May 1787   Thomas Beatty 09 Jul 1780 13 May 1831 Lincoln Co, NC Sarah Wheeler     William's father Thomas Beatty died Jul 1787 in Tryon/Lincoln County, NC, at the age of 56.  When the 1790 Census was taken for Lincoln County, Marget Beaty (Margaret Beatty) was listed as the head of the family.  From the numbers and statistical information, it appears that William, age 29 and unmarried, was still living with his mother, young brothers John and Thomas and sister Margaret.  This listing shows that there were 9 "White females" living in the home.  If mother Margaret and daughter Margaret were two of these, there is no indication of who the other 7 females could have been   There were two other William Beattys living nearby - one of which was not married.  The second home with William Beatty as the head of the family only had two people living in the home and one of those was  female - and since "our" William Beatty didn't marry until 1791 it seems unlikely that this was him.   If this is indeed the 1790 Census for this family, there is also a listing for "All Slaves" and it would appear that Margaret (and deceased husband Thomas) had 9 slaves.   1790 Lincoln County Census   County Page Names of Heads of Families *FWM 16 and Upward FWM Under 16 ** FWF Slaves   Names of Heads of Families FWM 16 and Upward FWM Under 16 FWF Slaves Lincoln 121 Marget Beaty 1 2 9 9   Wm Beaty 1 0 1       Peter??
