Belty’s second wife was Sophia C. McKinley whom he married in 1860 and his third wife was Laura Miller whom he married in 1899.

Note: Cemetery records indicate that Minerva died on June 16, 1869 which is incorrect as she died before 1860. Also, they indicate that she was 32, and it is more likely that she was 22.
