just to make all of you aware who carry this name with you. in case you did not know. our family unfortunately owned several slave plantations with african slaves who, when lincoln freed the slaves had been given our sir name so as not to stand out completely in america. if you are indeed a true Batts please contact me online via email. it would be nice to know that i actually do have some living relatives. thanks

Hi my name is William Batts, most of my immediate family were from Duplin County

Mr. Batts, I am a Batts who knows nothing about my family! I don't know where to begin, but I saw your entry on this site, and thought I would begin here. My email address is caviness5@bellsouth.net.....my father was Charles Arthur Batts from Boston. He had two brothers Richard and Paul. His mother's name was Dora Batts and his father's name was Edward Batts. Any guidance would be of great help to me. Thank you, Bonnie Batts Caviness

Hello. Are you by chance related to a white farmer John (Jack) Batts in or near Edgecombe County, NC? My grandma is a Batts. My g-g-g-g granddad Tuney and his wife Janey, were bought in VA, maybe Alexandria, and were given the name Batts. It was between 1845-1848. If you have any info, please let me know.

My name is Linda Hubbard and I would love to find out more information about the Batts family, since my great grandmother was Ida Leona Batts born Sept 2, 1876 she married Henry Hampton Allen.
Her fathers' name was William P Batts B 1850-52 in Kentucky and lived in Kiowa Pittsburg Co, Ok. He was 70 years old in the 1920 cenuis an lived with one of his sons George A Batts born 1878 died 1942 and family: Wife Annie Batts thier childred Edward Batts, Pearl Batts, Harry Batts and Ethel Batts.
I know that there is a brother named William Harrison Batts born Oct 8, 1880 and another brother Sam Belton Batts born Aug 6, 1875, another brother possible a twin James Batts born in 1872.
If anyone has anymore information would you please share it with me. I would love to get to know my relatives from the past and my living ones as well. I think that it would be very exciting.
I maybe contacted by email: lhubba@hotmail.com

Hello - Do you have any information on John Batts? I believe a John Batts had children with my great-great grandmother, Nursey Batts. I found her as a slave owned by Jesse Batts in Duplin County.

Any information is appreciated.
