Wesley J. Battles and Tabitha Elizabeth Smith.
According to my information his father was b/1850 in St. Clair Co, Al or Etowah Co, AL. I have no parents for Tabitha. Presumably Wesley's parents were Caswell Battles (1810,Tn-1881 Greensport beat, St. Clair Co, AL. and Mariah Stovers (1812, GA-1870), Caswell's parents were Noel WIlliam Battles also known as William Noel Battles.
1754, VA-1840 St. Clair Co, AL. and Elizabeth Hopper CA 1740 VA-Bef 1840 AL.
Noel Williams son is Samuel B/CA 1785 who married Nancy Wright.
