Pvt Jonas Bettis

Well my day has been focused on Jonas Bettis, my 3rd Great Grandfather.  The searches are very successful.  I found these great church records which my Mother In Law helped me understand.

I found him listed in both city directories and Massachusetts Census.  Each one takes a while to enter the information.
The big find was http://books.google.com/books?id=5PTZIFKHCTkC&dq=jonas%20bettis&pg=PA21#v=onepage&q=jonas%20bettis&f=false

Reminiscences of military service in the Forty-third regiment, Massachusetts ...

 By Edward H. Rogers
who served in the same company as Bettis.  

Now I wish I could find his birth records or his parents.  More searching to do.
