Son of William Beattie & Jean Innes; husband of Margaret Grassick, married July 13, 1835 at Strathdon, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
Farmed at lot 6, con. 8, Nichol Twp., which they purchased in the mid 1830s for $2.50 per acre and named, "Greenbank". Due to the limestone rock on the property, George was able to operate a lime-kiln on his property.
Issue: Jane (Mrs. Wm. Hastings) 1836; Margaret (Mrs. Robt. Pritchard) 1839; Ann (Mrs. John Simpson) 1839; James 1841; Elizabeth 1844; Helen (Mrs. Andrew Hudson) 1845; Georgina 1848; Isabella (Mrs. John Mutrie) 1849; Mary Ann (Mrs. Thomas Pritchard) 1851; Wm. Thomas 1853; George 1855; Jemima (Mrs. Wm. Patterson) 1857; John Alexander 1860
Their gravestone has been recently vandalized--tipped over and broken into two pieces. Shameful lack of care for one of Fergus' earliest pioneers.
