Seeking the maiden name of Nellie, William T. Batchelor's wife.
My GGGrandfather was William T. Batchelor, b. 1868 in Texas, and died in Arkansas ca 1941. His wife's name was Nellie, but I am unable to find her maiden name. She married William in Texas, where both his daughters, Hazel and Ioma were born in the 1903 and 1909 respectively. However, this marriage has a twist. According to my mother's family (the children of William A. Wilson and Hazel Batchelor Blankenship Wilson), Mrs. Batchelor (Nellie) abandoned her husband and children in Conway, Arkansas, and relocated to Little Rock, Arkansas, and married again. She kept up with her grandchildren. However, according to census records, Nellie's ex-husband, William T. Batchelor, he was widowed ca 1920. I am looking for clarification on this issue. Thanks so very much for the many replies on Ioma Batchelor and her life.
