Notes for John Battelle, Sr.:
"John Battle, deceased September the 30, 1713.Dedham Records, deaths, page 38 (Milw. Publ. Lib), copied by JRB\
buried in Dedham First Parish Cemetery
"John, ye son of John and Hannah Battelle, was borne Oct. 20, 1687." Dedham Records, 1687 Births, page 22 (Milwaukee Public Library), copied by JRB\
"Battell, John, came from France to America and settled in Dedham, Mass., and died Sept. 30, 1713, leaving a son John, b. in 1689, married Abigail Draper Jan. 17, 1710, died Sept. 14, 1729, leaving a son John who was born April 30, 1717, married Mehitable Sherman, sister of the patriot Roger Sherman, signer of the declaration, and died Nov. 18, 1800.""History of Torrington, Conn.," by Rev. Samuel Orcutt, 1878, vol. 2, page 649, copied by JRB. The above information is repeated almost word for word on page 508, vol. 1, "History of Ancient Woodbury, Ct. from 1659 to 1854" by Wm. Cothern, 1854. Cothren's volume 2 has the correct information - i.e., that John is the son of Thomas of Dedham - on pages 1471 and 1472. It would seem, although not stated there, that vol. 2, written 25 years later in 1879, was intended to correct volume 1\
"John Battell, b. July 1, 1652; christened July 3, 1652; died Sept 20, 1712; all in Dedham, Mass. (Norfolk Co.); son of Thomas Battell and Mary Fisher; married Nov. 18, 1678 at Dedham to Hannah Holbrook of Dedham, she born of Thomas and Jane Holbrook, about 1654."
Their children --
"Hannah, b. 26 July 1680 Dedham; d. 12 july 1682
"Edward, b. abt. 1682 Dedham; m. Experience Pratt 13 Mar 1707

"John, b. 17 Apr. 1689 Dedham; d. 14 Feb. 1730 Dedham; m. Abigail Draper 17-19 Jan. 1710-11
"Ebenezer, b. 02 Jan 1690-91 Dedham; m. Abigail Gay 03 Mar 1714
"Elizabeth, b. abt 1692 Dedham; m. Wm. S. Mallage 10 Apr.
"John, b. abt 1693 Plympton; married Mary or Martha
"William, b. abt 1696 Dedham; married Parnel or Parnella French 19 June 1718."Kathy Shore, 1977. It would seem to me that the John born in Plimpton may not have been a son of John & Hannah. Kathy, or someone at the LDS church,seemed to find people with the same surname and then assume they were children, even if born in different towns -- JRB
The World Family Tree CD vol. 1, tree #1388, indicates that John & Hannah also had a son Nathaniel, whose daughter Martha married a James Mellen b. 1731/2. (James Battle Jr. married Ruhamie Mellen!)
"BATTELLE, or BATTLE, JOHN, Dedham, eldest s. of Thomas, m. 18 Nov. 1678, Hannah Holbrook, had Hannah, b. 26 July 1680; Mary, 12 Mar. 1684; John, 17 Apr. 1689; Ebenezer, 2 Jan. 1692; and d. 30 Sept. 1713; JONATHAN, Dedham, br. of the precede. m. 15 Apr. 1690, Mary Onion, perhaps d. of Robert, had Martha, b. 13 Mar. foll.; Jonathan, 3 Jan 1693; Sarah, 20 Oct. 1698; and Abigail, 11 Dec. 1699. ROBERT, Boston, d. 23 Dec. 1658, perhaps was only trans. visit. and if not, I can tell no more, but that in Dearborn's book, call. Boston Notions, p. 44, he is call. freem. 1657, when no such name appears, nor even any bapt. name of Robert in that yr.THOMAS, Dedham 1642, m. 5 Sept. 1648, Mary, d. of Joshua Fisher, had Mary, b. 6 bapt. 12 May 1650; John, 1, bapt. 3 July 1653; Sarah, b. 1654; Jonathan, 24 July 1658; and Martha, 19 Aug. bapt 9 Sept. 1660, d. at 14 yrs. He was freem. 1654, in 1664 liv. at Sudbury, but of D. again in 1674. His w.d. 7 Aug. 1691, and he d. 8 Feb 1706, call "the aged." In the will of their gr.f. Fisher, of wh. Battle was an overseer, most of the ch. are ment. Mary m. 20 Mar. 1677, John Bryant; and Sarah m. 23 Oct. 1679, Silas Titus. Very improb. seems to me the recent tradit. that he came to N.E. from France; and Cothren enlarges the extrav. of it by transfer of the circumst. imagine. to his s. John. In the will of John Luson, a neighb. of Battelle, John and Mary B. were kind. rememb. but he gave the larger part of his prop.

Notes for Hannah Holbrook:
       It seems unclear just when Hannah Holbrook was born, and which wife of Thomas was her mother. It seems likely that her mother was Hannah Shephard, and she was bornabt 1857 (although it has been given as 1654). This would make her about 21 years old when she married John Battell.
       Children of John Battelle and Hannah Holbrook are:
 128i. John Battell, Jr., born October 20, 1687 in Dedham, Massachussetts (or b. 4/17/1689); died February 14, 1729/30 in Dedham, Massachussetts (1730?); married Abigail Draper January 19, 1710/11 in Dedham, Massachussetts (1711?).

The source for the ancestors of Eleazer Allen, and making Mary the daughter of John (rather than Mary the daughter of Jonathan) his wife is a letter from Elizabeth Anne Collins Broomfield to JRB, 3-18-98

 iv. Ebenezer Battelle, Sr., born January 02, 1690/91 in or 1/22/1691; married (1) Abigail Gay; married (2) Abigail Allen August 08, 1717; married (3) Zipporah Ellis June 16, 1747.

 Notes for Nathaniel Battell:
       The information on Nathaniel & his daughter & son-in-law is from World Family Tree #1388 on vol. 1, from Family Tree Maker, Broderbund Software. There is no other corroborating evidence that I know of. Thomas's son Jonathan had a son Nathaniel, according to Genealogical History of Dover, Mass., by Frank Smith, 1917, and it may be that Nathaniel (son of Jonathan, son of Thomas) was the father of Martha Battles in the World Family Tree #1388. -- John R. Battell
