Thanx - Diane >> Diane, I don't have a lot of information on my Battershell ancestors, but here is what I do have: Elizabeth Battershell (possibly born in London, dates unknown) married Jacob Bobo (1809-1877). They had a son named George Daniel Bobo who was born in 1863. I do not have any birth places, but I do know that George married Rachel Ellen Peacock on 4 July 1880 in Louisiana, Missouri. Also, Rachel's sister Emaline married a Sam Battershell. I don't know if there was a relation between those two Battershells (although I think it is likely). Thanks so much!
