Speaking as one who had this surname in her ancestry, I can tell you there
are other possible spellings to watch for, too...I've run scross Batey,
Beatey and Beatty, too....same family.
There was a William Beaty, listed as a farmer renting his land in
1753, Sadsbury, so that might tie-in with the Boyds..
The 1765 Chester Archives'
William Beaty...owned 100 acres in W. Fallowfield
Wm, Beaty who lived in Upper Province, but owned no land
William Beatty owned 100 acres in New London
(No John Boyd in this 1765 archives)
Here's a set of adm. papers (no will), but they might prove
interesting...I would imagine that this could well be the father of Wm
Beatty, married to Francis Boyd.;

BEATTY, WILLIAM. .January 16, 1752.Adm. to William & Francis Beatty.
( a copy of these papers is available from Records and Archives....there
address is included on the Chester Co site, under local resources.)

This I"d think, are the adm. papers for John Boyd, who 'could be' father
of Francis Boyd Beatty
BOYD, JOHN. October 2, 1750. Adm. to Lettice & Robert Boyd.

This may not fit but I'll include it because of the comments on Wm Beatty in
Va
MC COLLOCK, MARTHA. London, Britain.February 11, 1748/9. March 14, 1748/9.
C. 109.To John Stewart my son in Ireland 5 shillings. To son in law William
Betty's child in Virginia all remains of estate being £75 and movables as
mentioned in my husband's will, to be equally divided. Only George and
Martha are to have £10 each above the rest.Executors: Francis Alison and son
in law William Betty.Codicil mentions daughter Martha in Virginia and
servant, Eve Margaret Giger and gives to Francis Alison "my husband's gun,
sword and new hat." Letters to son in law William Betty, Alison
renouncing.Wit: James Donnel, William Clinton.

and this one...the only will that mentions the name Betty as a surname;;
BETTY, WILLIAM.October 26, 1738.Adm. to William Patten.

l"ooking for info on William/Billy BEATY born about 1720-30. He may have
been the William BEATY who was living in West Fallowfield in 1763 and was
married to Frances BOYD, daughter of John & Letice BOYD of Sadsbury.
