David Steward Beaty
Birth: 1822 Montgomery County, Kentucky
Death: 1858 Sharpsville, Tipton, Indiana
David Beaty was born in 1822, the son of William and Sarah Elizabeth "Yocum" Steward Beaty natives of Montgomery County, Kentucky.
He was a young boy when his family left Kentucky along with many other family members for the 200 mile journey in trains of wagons, oxen and horses crossing the Ohio river and over terrain that was not forgiving to the pioneer to settle in the newly created Bartholomew County, Indiana.
His father William Beaty is listed as one of the earliest pioneers in Bartholomew County, Indiana founded in 1821 settling there between 1819 and 1825.
United States Mexican War 1846-1848
Company F, 3rd Indiana Regiment
Enlisted June 22, 1846 at New Albany, Indiana
Discharged July 8, 1846 Surgeons Certificate
The regiment went on board a boat at New Albany in that year, and after several days journey, landed on the battle grounds. One fact shows that those who enlisted in the great struggle by which the territory now embracing Texas was secured were all young men, but four being over thirty years of age.

The record shows that in 1846 thirteen were discharged from service by a physician's certificate. These were regarded as being disabled and unfit to make the trip into the interior; while on July 31 of that year the following deaths are recorded: Thomas Beatty, Archibald Pruitt, Edward Hammer, Philip Love and George Pence.
Of the men who fought in this war there is scarcely a grave-yard in this part of the state but that has one or more buried in it. While but a few of these men who bravely fought an enemy with the flint-lock musket yet remain, they should be given the right of way and their days made as peaceful and pleasant as possible.
David married Emily Jane Heaton February 11, 1847 in Bartholomew County, Indiana. They made their home in Bartholomew County for two years when news came from a close relative, who was already settled there, about the last township in Tipton County opening up to the north in June 1849. David traveled to Indianapolis and obtained forty acres of land on September 20, 1849 using his land grant making him among the first land owner's in the newly created Liberty Township in the town of Sharpsville. His land was located on 450 North off of Highway 19 Southeast of Sharpsville on Mud Creek.
In 1850 Liberty Township in Tipton County opened for settlement. By the spring of 1851 David, his sister Mary Jane, brother Joseph, their families and his parents migrated to Liberty Township, Sharpsville.
David and Emily had seven known children:
1. Malissa Jane Beaty (1848-1863), age 15 Tipton, Sharpsville, Indiana
2. William Tonas Beatty (1849-1915), age 66 Anderson, Madison, Indiana
3. Samuel Jasper Beatty (1850-1925), age 75 Windfall, Tipton, Indiana
4. Joseph Henry Beaty (1853-1929), age 76 Kokomo, Howard, Indiana
5. Perry Anderson Beatty (1855-1931), age 75 Atlanta, Hamilton, Indiana
6. Amanda Ellen Beaty (1856-1858), age 16 months Sharpsville, Tipton, Indiana
7. David Stewart Jr. Beatty 1859-1919, age 59 Atchison, Atchison, Kansas
In March 1858 David and Emily's daughter Amanda died at the age of one year. David died nine months later at the young at the age of 36 years. Emily was left to raise a daughter and five sons alone. Tragedy was following this young family when Emily died only a few years later between 1860-1861. The younger children were taken in by guardians. Malissa died in 1864. Chills and fever malaria and ague from the exposure of the wet lands make you wonder if this could have been a contributing factor. Their burial site has not been located and there are no records of their burial in Sharpsville Cemetery.
