Family records show that the Bateman family moved from NC to Dickson Co.TN in 1807 and the father died shortly after the move (around 1811). Somewhat later, Edwin, the eldest son, moved to Humphreys Co. John Bateman married Juliet Thompson in Dickson Co., TN on July 10, 1823. At first, they lived on their property on Deer Creek in Humphreys Co.,TN; then he purchased 1640 acres on the east fork of Well’s Creek in Stewart (now Houston) Co., TN, land which became known as Bateman Branch. He and his wife are buried in the cemetery behind the old Bateman School. Three of their sons fought as Confederate soldiers in the Civil War. One of them, Thomas, was killed and buried in Columbia; another, John Jeremiah was captured by the Union in 1864 in Stewart Co. and was later released. The third, Patrick Henry Bateman, survived the Battle of Gettysburg, went on to teach school and raise a family, one of his sons (Henry Quaite Bateman) becoming a professional baseball player for Milwaukie. John’s wife, Juliet, died in 1876. The 1880 census shows John Bateman at age 75, “widowed”, and lists a son, William L. (b.1829, NC), a daughter, Sena A. (b.1840, TN), and a granddaughter, Samantha J. Allbrooks (b.1864 in Arkansas) living in the household. Although unproven, the likely father of John Bateman is William Bateman who was born in 1782 in Tyrrell Co., NC and died in 1811 in Dickson Co., TN. (Find-a-grave records confirm William's dates as 1872 in NC-1811-Dickson Co. TN.) He reportedly brought most of his family to Dickson Co., TN in 1807 but died there a few years later. The 1850 Humphreys Co. census shows John's mother, Julia Parker Bateman, age 70, living with her son, Jeremiah, and his family.
