    Married CA 1836  [4] 
    Notes 
    • In addition to the other 13 children of this family, "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, WV," p. 369, reports another daughter, Elizabeth, b. ca 1847, who on Apr 1 1875, in Doddridge County, married Isaac Batten, a son of William & Christiana. But Wes Cochran's "Doddridge County Marriages 1845-1937," p. 68, has the following entry for that marriage: "Isaac Batton, 24, b. Lewis Co, res. Doddridge Co, son of William B. & Louisa A; and Elizabeth J. Nicholson, 22, b. Madison Co VA, res. Doddridge Co, dau of Joseph & Barbary. Married Apr 1 1875." Harrison County death records, in the form of a handwritten ledger, have entries for (1) Elizabeth Batten, widowed, age 88, died Oct 6 1911; and (2) Elizabeth Batton, widowed, age 90, died Oct 6 1912. Basis for discrepancies not clear.
