BIOGRAPHY: SOURCE: History of Fentress Co., Tennessee, by Gerald Evely
n DeHaven.
George William "Buffalo Bill" was born September 18, 1873 at Little Crab
, TN, the son of Eliazer Alley and Elizabeth Ellen (Ledbetter) Beaty. Hi
s brothers an sisters were: Katy Elizabeth, b. 1864; James W., b. 1868; S
usan, b. 1871; and Isaac b. 1876. Bill also had a half-sister, Martelia F
rances Reagan, from his mother's second marriage to Frank Reagan.
Bill married Elizabeth Ellen (Hinds), who was born March 30, 1874 at Litt
le Crab, the daughter of Joel "Jode" and Francess Elizabeth (Fite) Hinds
. Ellen's brothers and sisters were: Samuel Peter (1876-1961), Mary Ann (
1878-1946), Jame Marion (1881-?), Nancy Jane (1883-1941), Sarah Susan Ada
line (1887-1963), Fatin Alice (1889- ), John Mitchell (1890-1891, and Wil
liam Grady (1894-1980).
Bill and Ellen had nine children: Lillie Ann (1897-1912), Walter Isaac (1
898-before 1910), William Hamilton (1900-1982), Carlie (b. and d. betwee
n 1900-1910), Julia Ava Frances (1905-1980), Lawrence Adam (1912), Johnn
y (1915-1928), and Hubert Chandler
Five of Bill and Ellen's children died before reaching adulthood. Lilli
e Ann died of spinal disease and Johnny died of septicemia. cause of deat
h of Carlie, Welter Isaac, Alley Bryan is unknown.
The oldest of their children to reach adulthood was William Hamilton. H
e was married to Rosetta Claiborne; they had one child. He lived all hi
s life in or near Jamestown, and his main occupation was working in the t
imber. He was 81 years old when he died and is buried in the Fentress Mem
ory Gardens.
Julia Ava Frances lived most of her life in Fentress County and was marri
ed to (1)Alfred Choate, (2) Isaac Davis and (3) Lonza Reagan. She was th
e mother of eight, having had one child from her first marriage and seve
n from her second. She lived to be 74 years old and is buried in the Fent
ress Memory Gardens. Lawrence Adam has lived all his life in Fentress Co
. and was married to (1) Lillie Reagan and (2) Dora Beaty. He and Lilli
e had two children. At this time he is now retired and is living in James
town.
Hubert Chandler, Bill and Ellen's youngest child, is married to Reba Hest
er (Beaty). They live north of Jamestown and are the parents of five chil
dren. He is retired from General Cable Corp., Muncie, IN and Reba is reti
red from Ball State University.
No one knows for sure how Bill acquired the nickname "Buffalo". His son
, Hubert thinks it might have been because of his body build. He was ver
y large across the shoulders, his body tapering to narrow hips. Bill foll
owed the timber business and farmed when that was low. Sometimes he als
o would run a sawmill. Since there were always several people living i
n a sawmill or logging camp, Ellen would often cook for boarders for extr
a money. The family moved often, due to following that line of work. Bil
l was also respected in the community as a good mule driver. One time h
e had a cousin who bought a pair of mules and turned them over to his hir
ed man. The hired man let them run away, doing various damage to their ha
rness and the wagon. Later Bill's cousin was asked if he intended to sel
l the mules. "Of course not," he said. "That is a good pair of mules, an
d I have the problem solved. I have Buffalo Bill a-holt of them now. He w
ill hold onto them and he can't run." Both Bill and Ellen and their fiv
e children who died in childhood are buried in the George Beaty Cemetery.
