I am definitely encouraged by the flow of information lately! I am hopeful my Dennis Batson is the unknown son of Sharie's Dennis Batson (both were supposedly born 1811 in SC). With the recent links posted, I noted with interest again the middle name Riley (Connie's obit for James Riley Batson). My Dennis is Dennis Riley Batson, b. 1811 in SC, and seemed to move back and forth from Tennessee and Alabama. Is there a connection between the Iowa/Missouri Batsons and the SC Batsons? Sharie has no Riley in her database. Does anyone else have either a Riley middle name or surname in their Batson database? Thanks!
