Thomas Beatty was born in New York to John and Susanna Beatty in 1703. He first immigrated to Frederick County in 1733. At that time, he and his two sons, Charles and Thomas Jr., were among the largest landowners. His longest place of residence in Frederick County was a tract of land known as Beatty's Delight, located near the Monocacy River. This tract of land was so large and important that it was used as an early landmark in the county.
In 1748, Thomas Beatty was part of the committee that formed Frederick County, out of what was then Prince George's County. At that time, Frederick County included much of Western Maryland. Additionally, the court suggested laying out a road and put Nathaniel Wickham Jr., Thomas Beatty, and Joseph Wood in charge of this project. This road would be the forerunner for modern day Md. 194.
Beatty was the longest appointed judge in Frederick's early history, serving from 1748-1765, with a gap from 1751-1753. During these years, he served in the Lower House of the Maryland state government. Sometime between the years of 1757-1768, he purchased a mill with two other people.
