I'm a decendent of John Allen & Jane Beatty who came over from Ireland on the "Hopewell" in 1770/1771. They arrived on the same ship as Joseph Beatty, and settled on the Irish Tract along Lambert's Creek in Queensboro, St. Phillip's Parish, Ga. John & Jane (Beatty) Allen had a daughter named Elizabeth who married John Martin, Jr, of whom I am also decendent. All three families (John Allen, Joseph Beatty, & John Martin) had adjoining properties.
If you have any information that you can share on these families, I would be grateful. Enclosed below is some of the information that I have on the Beatty's.
Thanks,
Jim

..."John served in the Revolutionary War from 1776-1780. While he was away from home in the war some Torries in the neighborhood went to his fathers home and abused him, one attempting to strike him with the old family Bible. When John Jr returned and learned of the affair, he was on his way to see the party and meeting him half way, they had the quarrel out. John was the quickeer on the trigger and the other party was killed. " ... from the "Ancestors of Glynnda (Fitzgerald) and Ray Winford Smith"
