I am looking for any information on Henry Battist. He was born January 28, 1856 and died May 18, 1940. He married Catherine Jane Langille August 15, 1885 and they had 9 children: Alexander Stanford, John Elbridge, Martin Clifford, Edith Rhoda, Charles Fay, William Lester, Glennie Purcell, Edward Elroy, Henry Welwood and they raised James Arnold as their son (although he was their daughter's child). I believe both Henry and Catherine (Cassie) were born, married and died in River John, Pictou, Nova Scotia, Canada. Any information would be greatly appreciated!!
