Beaton Family

Mary McKinnon was born in Eigg, Scotland in 1823. She moved to Little Judique, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia with her parents and siblings in 1843. There she married Angus Beaton, a merchant, about 1844. She died at Little Judique in 1907. Their son Roderick John was born in 1850. He moved to Boston and married Mary McCarvel in the Arlington Church in Belmont in 1876. In 1884 they moved to Ashton, lA, then on to Sheldon, IA. In 1884 they settled in Brewster, MN where Roderick farmed and ran the Brewster Hotel. At least 3 of Mary's siblings ended up in the Brewster area, and several others moved on to Montana. Mary and Roderick had one daughter, Mary Ann(Mamie) who was born in Belmont, MA in 1877. They also adopted Mary's niece, Alice Haffey, who later married Nick Henkels. We knew Alice as Auntie. Mamie married Jerry Sullivan in 1896 in Heron Lake. Grandpa Rod Beaton died in 1909. Grandma Mary Beaton lived on until 1932.
