The Battle Book
A Genealogy of the Battle Family in America.
The
Battle Book A Genealogy of the Battle Family in
America was organized by two of my great uncles,
Herbert Bemerton Battle, and William James Battle (my namesake),
and Lois Yelverton.
The Battle Book is available below, eighty-six years after the
book was published. To download, click on a chapter,
the key to the genealogy tables, a group of genealogy tables, or
the entire book at the bottom of the page.
Once
the chapter or book appears in your web browser, you may save it
to your computer for quicker retrieval.
The key to the genealogy tables is a chart showing the Battle
genealogy and how The Battle Book genealogy
section is divided into books.
The chart was too big for my scanner, so I took a picture. Hopefully,
Ill
update the chart soon.
In 2001, George Hackney Eatman published The Battle Book Updated, to provide current information on James
Smith Battle (1786-1854) and descendants. This book covers genealogy tables 63, 64, and
59. See
If anyone has updated information on other Battle genealogy
books, Id be glad to link to your website from this website.
To send questions, email thebattlebook.com@gmail.com. George Eatman responds to the emails. If its a
technical question, George will forward it to me.
My goal is to continue to improve the format and available
information on the Battle family.
