>First I would like to say Thank you Steve! I know it takes a lot of time >to do what you are doing. Does anyone doing research on Banfill/Banfield, have any information on iii Hannah Banfield's husband John Batten? If anyone is interested, I do have some Batten info that I would be willing to share. I just don't have much on John.
