Migration of the Batee family

Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Batees to arrive in North America: Ashwell Batty, who sailed to Virginia in 1653; James Batty, who came to America in 1773; Patrick and Nancy Baty, who arrived in Oswegatchie, New York in 1823.
