Genealogical Data for Batten in Devon 1664 to 1816
Source: Memorial University of Nfld., Maritime History Archives, Keith Matthews Name Files
Note: Professor Matthews collected data on the basis of those most likely to have a Newfoundland connection. Thus he researched in towns in the south of England that spawned sea farers. It is possible and probable that there are other Batten references in England that do not appear here.
