The Beatty family was one of the first families to settle in present day Cambridge, Guernsey County, Ohio. John Beatty emigrated to Cambridge from Loudoun County, Virginia in 1803. In 1809 he became Cambridge's first schoolmaster. His son, Zaccheus A. Beatty, was a landowner and was instrumental in settling Cadiz Township, Harrison County, Ohio. Many family members held local, state, and federal public offices. Zaccheus Beatty headed the formation of the Cambridge California Mining Company, organized in 1849.
