I saw your posting on Ancestry.com concerning Frances Whiteman and Jake Batton. William Henry Wetzel and Frances are my great great grandparents. After William died, she married Jacob Batton. Frances and Jacob didnt marry until they were in their 80's and they didnt have any children. Jacob and his first wife Alvida Thomas had one son, Leslie Clyde. Leslie Clyde was my
great grandfather and I actually remember him.
Anyway, I just thought you might like the info.

I can give you the run down really quick on the Battons. Jacob Franklin "Jake"Batton married Alvida Thomas. Alvida is the daugther of Jackson Thomas and Nancy Myers. Jake and Alvida had one son Leslie.
Leslie was born 10.17.1897 and died 4.6.1978.
He married Mary Francis "Dolly" Wable, b. 3.1.1892 d. 8.30.1970. Mary Francis is the daughter of Theodore Wable and Mary Whiteman. (Mary Whiteman is the sister of Francis Whiteman, Jacob Batton's second wife).
Leslie and Mary Francis had 5 children:
Ralph Eugene my grandfather
Frances Everett
James Leslie
Clyde Jr.
Clara Alvilda
Here's the funny part: Ralph Battons son Roger, my father, married Mary Kathryn Wetzel.
Her parents were Dora Harold Wetzel and Virginia Imogene Norman. Dora Harold's parents were Wesley Wetzel and Victoria Tustin.
Wesley's parents were William Henry Wetzel and Francis Whiteman.
Anyway, I can give you more specific data if you let me know which family line you're interested in. Even tho they are connected.
