the town, some of which remain in possession of his descendants. He was
quite prominent in his adopted home, and held several official positions
under the borough charter. He was buried in the Presbyterian graveyard,
of which church he held membership. In personal appearance, Captain
Beatty was about five feet eight inches, thick-set, florid complextion,

classical education, and learned the trade of clock and watchmaker in
London. He came to Pennsylvania about 1785, and shortly afterward
established himself in business at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He was a
skilled and ingenious workman. He was quite prominent in the early
affairs of the new town, and was among the first to jump into the water
to tear down the obnoxious mill-dam in the Paxtang creek, in 1795. He
was a volunteer in Captain Reitzell's company on the expedition
westward in 1794; and twice visited England on matters connected with
his father's estate, then considered quite an undertaking; and what
particularly distinguished his last visit was his reception by his
fellow-citizens of Harrisburg on his return, which was an ovation,
showing what a strong hold he had upon his friends in America. He died
very suddenly, while sitting in his chair Monday evening, November 6,
1809, aged forty-four years, and the Oracle of Dauphin speaks of

received a classical education in the old academy at Germantown, and, in
1793, located at Harrisburg, with he opened a Latin and grammar school.
At this period, in a letter to Governor Thomas Mifflin, he proposed a
" Plan of Education, " remarkably foreshadowing the present
common-school system, and which has placed him in the front rank of
early American educators. He was for many years a justice of the peace,
and served as town-clerk for a long time. He was the first cashier of
the Harrisburg bank, largely instrumental in securing the erection of
the bridge over the Susquehanna, and one of the coporators of the

press, and a series of articles published in the Dauphin Guardian,

whose flocks are more or less celebrated to this day. In 1808. Mr.
Beatty established himself in business, which he continued
uninterruptedly for upwards of forty years. He was an ingenious
mechanician, and constructed several fox of peculiar and rare invention.
In 1814, he was orderly-sergeant Captain Thomas Walker's company, the
Harrisburg Volunteers, which marched to the defense of the city of
Baltimore. Mr. Beatty in early life took a prominent part in local
affairs, and, as a consequence, was frequently solicited to become a
candidate for office, but he almost invariably declined. He,
nevertheless, served a term as director of the poor, and also as county
auditor . He was elected a burgess of the borough, and was a member of
the town-council several years, and, while serving in the latter
capacity, was one of the prime movers in the efforts to supply the
borough with water. Had his suggestions, however, been carried out, the
water-works and reservoir would have been located above the present city
limits. Mr. Beatty retired from a successful business life about 1850.
He died at Harrisburg, on the 10th of March, 1862, aged eighty-one
years, and is interred in the Harrisburg cemetery. He was an active,
