Kathleen, As of this time I don't know anything of the Elizabeth Battershell who m. Jacob Bobo but am checking with another researcher about it. As for Emaline Peacock, she m/1 Samuel Battershell on 18 May 1884 Pike Co, IL. From the Barry Adage dated Thurs, May 5, 1892 - divorces granted - Emaline Battershell vs Sam Battershell. Emaline then married Sam's brother John Conaway Battershell on 14 Apr 1892 Pike Co, IL (I am assuming that Emaline had the divorce before she m. John - it was just probably published at a later date??) If I find anything further on Elizabeth Battershell m. Jacob Bobo I'll let you know. More than likely Elizabeth came from Kentucky or early Pike Co.
