Susanna was born as the third, and first surviving, child of William Asfordby [1638-1698] and Martha Burton [1634-1711], both of Lincolnshire, England. They were married in England and arrived in Ulster County, New York about 1674.
Susanna married John Beatty, marriage license issued on 7 November 1691, in Esopus [Kingston], New York state; in 1691. John was Sheriff of Ulster County, was Trustee of Marbletown, and Deputy Surveyor of the Province of New York. His will, made 26 April, 1720, was proved 9 March, 1721.
Their children:
1. Robert [1692]
2. William [1693] +Elizabeth Carmack
3. Thomas [1703] +Maria Jensen
4. Agnes
5. Martha [1707] +Johannes Middaugh
6. John
7. Edward
8. James
There were two other children, but unknown by name to me.
Susanna owned 1,000 acres in Frederick County Maryland at one point.
BEATTY, SUSANNA, Monocaseys, Prince George's County 20 June, 1742; 30 October 1745
To grandson John Beatty, son of my son Robert Beatty, dec'd., 10 shillings as his birth rights.
To son Robert's children: John, Moraca, Susanna, George, Margaret and Jane Beatty, land containing 300 acres, being part of tract called "Rocky Creek," lying on west side of Monocasey, beginning at the end of 194 perches in 4th line of tract called "Rocky Creek" beginning and running from thence north and by east 113 perches and etc., and tract called "Providence," granted to Edward Beatty on Linganores
To daughters Agness Beatty and Martha Middaugh, furniture.
Balance to children: William, Agness, John, Thomas, Edward, Martha and James, an even 1/8 pt. between son Robert's children.
Sons Wm. and Thomas Beaty exs.
Wit: John Martin, John B. Boggs, Elias Brock, Joseph Wood, 29.209 - 210
[a thank you to Lyn Smallwood Smith, a descendant of Susanna Beatty, for added information.]
After the death of her husband John Beatty, Susannah moved with most of her large family to the Monocacy Valley (Frederick Co., MD) about 1730. She and her family were prominent landowners before the founding of Fredericktown in 1745.
(Reference: Monocacy and Catoctin, Vol I, p. 340).
BURIAL NOTE: A book "New Facts and Old Familes" by Millard Milburn Rice (1976) discussed on page 168 an old burial ground along the Monocacy River and north of the town of Ceresville. Jacob M. Holdcraft's book calls this #180 Ceresville Cock-Grahame Family Cemetery. Rice says that this land was part of the tract "Dulany's Lott" and was confiscated as Tory property and sold to William Beatty by auction on 19 Oct 1781 (lot No. 18). He speculates that William Beatty may have been interested in it because it included a "now-vandalized vault" in which he theorized Susanna may have been buried along with other family members. I am uncertain if this vault had an indicator that it was a Beatty vault or not or if Rice is only speculating because of the prominence of the Beattys in the area that it was their vault. Further investigation continues.
