A profile and a painting of the Reverend John Beatty at Northumberland Heritage:
"John Beatty left Ireland in 1810 for New York State. Family tradition states that he intended to found a settlement in Upper Canada, but the War of 1812 delayed his move. Four years after the war
ended, he brought his family and a 26 wagon caravan...".
More information about their arrival in Canada:
"...arriving at York March 1819.
