Looking for information on the Beattys of Co. Wicklow. Daniel Beatty was born about 1778 and married Jane Smith in Arklow, Co Wicklow. They lived with their family of 5 children in Kilcarra before going to Canada. The children were Alexander, Thomas, John, Michael, and Ellen (or Helen).
Daniel had a brother John born about 1770 and who lived in Shelton, Co. Wicklow. He was a member of the militia for a time. We think his wife was Elenor. They had 6 children, Michael, a daughter, Alex (Alar), John, Margaret and another daughter. He is buried in Old Kilbride cemetery. I did find Michael's stone at old Kilbride where it stated it was erected by his son Thomas (this is a family name). Michael was married to Jane Sherwood in 1848 and her father was Thomas. Michael also had a son John who died young at 18.
Any information greatly appreciated. I am sure I still have family in that area although some moved to north, some in Wexford, some to Dublin.

I am not familiar with this particular Beatty but we have queried if our Mary born 1788 that married David Beatty born 1782 may have had Smith as a maiden name. They came to Hastings County, Ontario, Canada between 1822-1824. The three children born in Ireland were William A (? Albert) 25 May !815, Letitia and David both born in 1821. A son born in Canada was called John Smith Beatty. The family was Presbyterian and their children married here in Canada to children of James Sherman born 1787 in Fermanaugh and his wife Annie Gawley born 1785 in Gawley 's Gate , Antrim, Ireland. Thanks.
