Surnames: BATTLE/LIGON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BkB.2ACE/952 Message Board Post: I am looking for Ligon family that eventually came to TX. My husband's great grandfather was Stephen Ligon Battle b: in TX d: in TX. His mother was Mary Green Ligon, b: Montgomery Co., TN She m: 1856 James W. Battle Mary's father was Matthew Ligon; b:1785 His mother, Judith Pleasants. [ Here the "family history" and many authors of references books seem to get confused.] Matthew's father is usually listed as Joseph Ligon, Jr. born Dec. 11 1775, that seem wrong. Only 10 years apart. Joseph Ligon, Junior's father is listed as Capt. Joseph Ligon and Judith Watts. Can you verify any of this. I really need help.
