Benjamin Batts, married to Sarah Jane Belle Hicks, circa early 1800's was my great great great grandfather, living in (approximate) Athens, Alabama.They had 11 children and "more than 99 slaves" according to the 1860 census. My great grandmother was Lavinia Hicks Batts, born in 1858. Her mother was Sara Jane Belle Batts, married to John Covington Morris, a "master carpenter' of Alabama. Lavinia moved to Louisville, Kentucky and married William Greene, a candymaker. My grandmother was Laura Belle Greene, married to John Henry Young (Jung-German descent). My father was William John Young of Louisville, deceased in 1994. Anyone with information, please contact. Thank you.
