Jesse Richard Battin was born in Indiana on 20 August 1856 to Jesse Battin and his wife Clarissa (Compton) Battin. This family is living in Washington Township, Boone County, Indiana in 1860. Washington Township is one of 12 townships in Boone County. About one third of the township was part of an original Indian Reserve that was purchased from them by the Government in 1828. The first settlers arrived in 1835.
Jesse is working the farm along side his father and little brother in 1870 he is 14 and attends school they live in Marshall, Marshall County, Iowa. Marshall Township was established in 1855 since there was another Marshall the town was renamed Marshalltown.
Amaqua Township, Boone County, Iowa was established in 1871 and in 1880 Jesse is 22 and farming. His parents have both passed and he is taking care of his little sister Amelia and his older sister Louisa. Amelia attends school.
Lured by tales of adventure, silver or gold Jesse found his way to Council Valley, in what was still Washington County, Idaho. It was here that Jesse who was now 31 met the lovely Emma Frances (Krigbaum) Severino.
She was 22 years old, divorced and had a young son, Walter Emil Severino. They married on 9 June 1888.
On 7 September 1894 Jesse obtained a land patent for 160 acres in Adams County.
In 1900 I lose Jesse but Emma the woman he married is living in a home she owns in Weiser City, Washington County, Idaho with Walter her son from a previous marriage, Ina Margaret and Nyle her children from her marriage to Jesse. Her marriage status is Divorced.
Jesse, where are you?
