Posted on: Nodaway Co Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Nodaway/10973 Surname: Batson, Robison ------------------------- Well I admit ...you have me stumped! My William M. Batson born 1825 in White Co, IL came to Worth and Nodaway counties in 1869 from Marshall Co, IA. Researching the Batson surname in both counties, I have only found listings relating to my Batsons, nothing of your Andrew J. Batson and daughter Rebecca. Have you found them on a census? Where did you find their birth dates and birth places? My William's father William Batson Sr. of Edwards Co, IL was born in W VA. so it is possiable your Andrew might be a nephew to my William Sr and a cousin to my William M Batson. It will take a bit of researching to see if this connection is in fact there. With your Margret Robison I am afraid I don't see any direct connection. They was a Robison family in Gentry County that she might very well be connected to. My Robison's were all from PA>OH>WI>MO. Please keep me posted if you come across any additional information that might help in the connections. I will keep your information in my files as well. You never can tell when a lead will pop up! P.S.Thanks for the compliment on my web site. It has been a rather large project, but a true labor of love!
