Witness or ,vitnesse-s V PREFACE This genealogy is the result of the efforts of many. Each one who has presen,ed records and papers has contributed to the utmost. How ever, I wish to stress that the preparatinn of the Beaty Chart by Mrs. Adeline Cooper Burroughs and l\frs. Margaret Ellen Cooper Johnson, grand-daughters of John Beaty, Esq., and his wife Elizabeth Mary Prince, and contributions made through the papers of Miss Kittie Norman, Miss Nancy (Nannie) Beaty, and Rev. Mr. T. Tracy Walsh, great-grandchildren, have made this genealogy as complete as it is. Realizing that if something were not accomplished before the passage of time made it impossible to preserve the family records for the years previous to 1900, considered genealogically as the difficult period, the compilation of t~1is volume was undertaken. c~nsus records from 1790-1870, indusive, with family Bibles have supplied an excellent check on the Beaty Chart. A general se~rch of available records of North and South Carolina has been made with concentration in the Kingston (Horry, S. C.) and Bladen-Bnmswick, N. C., areas. rfhere are numerous persons of the surname of Beaty in the early colonial period of the colonies, and it would ·be folly to assume that all were of the same family. Perhaps they were at some time in the remote past, but nothing conclusive can he gained by such an assumption. In South Carolina, alone, there are numerous f am iii es of the name with no record• of connection and different dates of arrival by record. It may be comforting, however, that most are of a calibre that would imply stability. This genealogy concerns itself with the Beaty f amity which settled in the area of Kingston, South Carolina, and by some referred to as, "the foundation family of Horry." A statement meaning to me merely that most families of the vicinity have a connection by ·blood or marriage with the Beaty family which for a number of generations has made its contribution to Horry County,
