Additional notes: Thomas and Polly Battle did not record any marriages or deaths after 1841, although there were many more such events in the family. Polly lived until 1864 and Thomas until 1883, so it is unknown why they stopped recording--there was still space on the page to record. Also note: Thomas Battle was born in Nash County, NC. He relocated to Warren County in GA circa 1806. Polly was from Warren County and they lived there following their wedding until about 1821 when they moved to Monroe County, soon after the county was formed. Polly's real name was Mary and her maiden name was Baker. Thomas Battle's father was named William Battle and his mother's maiden name was Williams, which explains why so many of the children had William or Williams as their middle name. Thomas'father William died in 1802, and his mother later remarried an Arrington. Son Calvin Battle's first wife died and he later remarried to Harriett Redding. ======================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be freely used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
