The Battams One-Name study started in September 2005, I decided to begin the study after collecting any information I could relating to the Battams name to help me with my own Family History Research and then realising that I could help others with their research. I am now seeking to exchange information on the surname: 'Battams' (including any variants) to establish a worldwide database, All references sought (I accept Gedcom files) and will gladly help other researchers with any queries.
Spelling variations include: Batten, Battin, Battyne, Baten, Batin, Batton and many more.
The Battams Name seems to Originate from Somerset, England.
First found in Somerset, where they had been granted lands after the Norman Conquest in 1066, by William the Conqueror, for their assistance at the Battle of Hastings.
Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Robert Batten who settled in New England in 1648; William Batten settled in Virginia in 1654; Mary Batton settled in New England in 1749.
