Donna, I'm not sure which lines connect with Williams & Battle in the Battle Family book. There is an index of names, and there are many, many Williams in it. I am quoting one such name, but if you have a name you are looking for, I'll check the book for it, so let me know: "The Battle Book: a Genealogy of the Battle Family in America", Herbert Bermerton. - Table 83 The Descendants of LARKIN BATTLE & SARAH J.

Thank you very much for putting the info. on our mailing list so that I was able to find the book. I found my line from the Battle to Williams...I am from Ephraim Battle, his daughter Sarah married Mr.Williams...Mr. Williams is my Benjamin Williams born in Onslow N.C 1775 and died around 1842 in Grant County Arkansas. I am twice related because Benjamin's daughter Clarissa Williams married a Tucker and their son Stephen Tucker's daughter Matilda Tucker married a PLUMMER. WOW....(laughs) anyway you may have seen a few of my postings looking for Matilda's mother. Matilda was born in Indian Territory and I cant find her birth. We have a pretty easy time with the whites but when it comes to the Indian side we get stuck and I have Indian through all four Grandparents and it drives me nuts....
