	The Batson family can go back to Henry Batson b 1560 in Harwick/Weedon, Buckinghamshire, they must go back further but not able at the present time find any information. There was a Batson who was a Monk at Wetherall Prior by the name of John Wytfeld alais Batson who was granted a pension of £12.00 per year by order of warrent dated 20/11/1539 on the orders of King Henry VIII. And also a Batson who was a Jesuit Preist during the reign of Elizabeth I, mentioned in State Letters Jan. 6. 1585 Stafford to Walsingham. I am requested to advertise you in haste of the arrival of Aldred and one Batson a Jesuit, on matters, as he says, of great importance. Aldred means to be presently with you; the other stays for something more to come from Rome, but if it does not arrive presently, and you will send him a safe-conduct, he will come to you as soon as he receives it. In the 1600's some ventured to go to Barbados to make the living. and also to America. There are lots of Batson's now in Barbados & Americia. But most were the ordinary folk mostly farmers and they stayed in the Harwick/Weedon area , in fact there are still Batson's in the Aylesbury area to this day. some migraterd to other area, such as Amersham, Norfolk, Leicestershire, London.
