Hi Anita,

My guess is you descend from Christopher through the Lester Beatty line.

Your fortunate to have many a relative who claimed him in the SAR, he is also referenced in the DAR as well.

If someone in your family is pursuing SAR membership it may be noteworthy for the point of accuracy to have the SAR "clean up" his records on the Patriot Index. He is listed seperatly 3 times by different family members and some of the information is conflicting.

Also, the DAR has him as CS Maj. meaning "Civil Servant" like Sheriff, Constible, etc. assuming his ending rank was Col. and you had a female family member to get involved in the DAR it would be a great opportunity to update his service record. (or you can send them a SAR "file copy".

This first subset of information contains the most accurate I can see by comparing sources:
