Beaty was born in Killeshandra, County Cavan, Ireland, emigrating to Canada in 1818. He married Sarah Ann Armstrong (1799–1829) on 26 December 1822. He never remarried after her death.
A member of the Disciples of Christ Christian denomination, he was active in establishing new congregations.
In 1852, Beaty established the Toronto Leader newspaper. He would also be active in other businesses.
Beatty positioned himself as a champion of unions, when the typographers of Toronto went on strike in 1872. This put him in direct opposition to George Brown and the Globe newspaper.
He was sometimes referred to as James Beaty, Sen. (senior). A nephew of the same name, James Beaty (1831-1899), would also serve as a Member of Parliament from 1880 to 1887.
Beaty died in Toronto (Parkdale). His funeral was conducted at his residence on Fuller Street.
