Information that I have.  John was the son of Tennessee V. Casinger and Moses Joshua Beatty, Sr.  Florence A. is also child of Tennessee and Moses.  This was Moses’ second marriage. TN Marriages 1851 – 1900
BEATY, M. J.   Spouse: CASINGER, TENNESSEE  Marriage Date: 10 Dec 1889   County: Wayne State: TN

This is where I believe Tennessee to be buried.  There was also a Daniel with no dates and it made me wonder if she may have died in childbirth. Wood Cemetery Centertown, Warren County, Tennessee
Beaty, Tennessee, (no dates)
Beaty, Daniel, (no dates)

Moses married a third time to Annie Buckelew but there was no children born to that marriage.
BEATTY, M. J.
Spouse: BUCKELEW, E. A.
Marriage Date: 5 Jun 1900
County: Wayne State: TN

Moses first marriage was to Margaret Caldonia Himes (February 12, 1862 in Lewis County).  Children born to that marriage were:
James Daniel Beatty
Moses Joshua Beatty, Jr.
Lasora Beatty
Sarah Francis Beatty
Mary L. Beatty
Monroe Beatty

Tennessee’s parents were Sarah Ann Whitehead and Ezekiel Kesner.  The Casinger  / Kesner gets confusing depends on which census you see.  I think most in this area use the Kesner name.

Moses, Sr. parents were Francis Priest and James Beatty.  James was from Ireland.
