Beattie settlers from Gouldsville, Hinton, Singleton and Morpeth, NSW

back to surname list

The Beatties
Please note that much of this information needs to be verified but I would love to hear from anyone with information about these families and will very happily share my research so please email Rosemary for any additions, corrections or questions. Occasionally Beattie has the Beatty spelling but in most cases it is Beattie.

The story so far
James BEATTIE and Margaret POTTER (POTTERS) had at least two sons (see also Thomas BEATTY, another possible son)
  1. William BEATTIE:
    born about 1813 in Tyrone, Ireland
    died 3 Mar 1878 at Phoenix Park, NSW
    William BEATTIE and family arrived in New South Wales in 1853 "Earl of Elgin".

  2. David BEATTIE
    born about 1818 in Fintona, Tyrone, Ireland
    died 1 May 1898 at Singleton, NSW
    David BEATTIE and family arrived in New South Wales on 1st May 1856 "Commodore Perry"
Both families settled as farmers around the Singleton area in the towns of Boggy Flat, Gouldsville, Hinton and possibly Morpeth.

On this page are some details about their early Australian descendants.

Thomas BEATTY of Canada
(possible brother of William and David BEATTIE)
There was a Thomas BEATTY born in New Brunswick, Canada in 1825 whose parents were James BEATTY and Margaret POTTER who had migrated from Ireland to Canada in 1824. Thomas' parents, James and Margaret BEATTY had five sons and two daughters and Thomas was the youngest which would also fit with the dates of birth of the Australian brothers, William and David. However it cannot yet be confirmed if Thomas was a brother of William and David.

Thomas BEATTY married Ella WINNETT in 1865.
