Jenny,
I was glad to see your message. I have a quick question - a few years ago I found information on a Fred Battershall from Illinois - I believe he must have been from Waukegan. I do not have my notes with me. The information came from an old newspaper clipping from the Waukegan Daily News - March 1901, and said that Fred had been a guest at a card party hosted by friends of Mr. & Mrs. Mortimer Kapple. Do you by any chance have any info. on this Fred Battershall or know who he might have been?
I do have some information on Nellie Battershall, but she was a rather distant ancestor. I would like to find more information on George Battershall, Betsey Batttershall-Cady, and Rhoda Battershall-Esau (or Rhoda Batteshall-Rich). These 3 were siblings and the children of William & Emma Battershall. All three were married in Lake County, Illinois or the surrounding area. They were possibly also siblings of my great-great grandfather, Daniel M. Battershall. i would appreciate any info. you might have. Thank you.

Hello,
My name is Tillie and I am researching genealogy for the names Gentry and Greene. My husband's ggmother was Celia Greene, who married John Gentry, who were both from NC, but moved to Idaho, where they made their home and raised their family.

My m-i-l had the name of a Percy Greene in her personal phonebook (which means that she and her husband had known him), who was related to Celia, but she doesn't remember how he was related to Celia. The family thought that Percy might have been a nephew or cousin, but we are not sure. It sounded like Percy was older than my in-laws, who were born in the early 20's, as they thought he would have passed on by now. This is where I am stuck, as I don't have anymore information than that.

As I don't have dates, I have made an approximate timeline to the generations.
John Gentry and Celia Greene-------1860-70's
son, William---------------------------------1880-90's
living son--------------------------------------1920's

Would that time frame fit in with your Percy Greene relation?
Do you have any knowledge of a Celia Greene related to your Percy Greene? The Greene family is a huge one, and cannot believe how many Celia's there were in that time period. Please let me know if there is a connection or not. Thank you. Regards, Tillie

I am a grgranddaughter of Ida Mary Date who was a sister of Sydney Stoate Date. I have photos of John Stoate Date and Elizabeth Shepard Date for those who are interested. I also have written history of the family by Lamson Date.

Hi! I'm a great great granddaughter of John Stoate Date and Elizabeth Shepherd, and I'd love to see photos.

Wow. My parents also live in Indianapolis (well, Greenwood). I'm a great-great granddaughter of John Stoate Date and Elizabeth Shepherd Date.

I know a lot about Percy W. Greene's ancestors, if you are interested.
