Message Board Post:
My Beetley family has distant ties to Ohio but are solid in Illinois during the 1870
federal census. Believe they came from Warren County, Pine Grove, Pennsylvania after
1850. My GG grandmother was born in Warren County, PA in 1844. I'm very interested
in discussing Beetley with others. Louisa Jane Beetley died in Madison County Iowa in
1901 but her father is seen as James R. Beatty back into the 1840 Warren County, Pine
Grove, PA census. We also find her brother, Lyman, living with the Luther C. Hibbard
family during the 1860 federal census for Warren County, Illinois ... near North
Henderson. Luther is born NY as is Lyman and Louisa's mother. They are about the
same age. Luther was previously in Warren County, Conewango Twp, PA which is the
township immediately adjacent to Pine Grove. I'm wondering if they might be brother
and sister???
