PETER BATT - BIOGRAPHY
Born 19 February 1842 in Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, Peter Batt was the son of Jacob and Mary Ann (Walters) Batt.
Peter enlisted as a Private with Company A of the 47th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Volunteers on 16 September 1861. After helping to defend the nation's capital, he saw action with the 47th during the Battle of Pocotaligo, South Carolina (October 1862), and was transferred with the 47th to duty in Florida, where he was promoted to the rank of Full Corporal on 10 June 1863.
He then saw action again with the 47th in 1864 - first as part of General Nathaniel Bank's Red River Campaign (March to May), and then with his regiment as part of General Philip Sheridan's tide-turning Shenandoah Valley Campaign during the Fall. He was then promoted to the rank of Full Sergeant on 3 November 1864, and continued his service with the 47th Pennsylvania until mustering out with his regiment at Charleston, South Carolina on 25 December 1865.
After returning home from the war, Peter Batt married Susan Carmine on 23 January 1868 in Philadelphia, and took up the iron working trade. Sons, Samuel and David, followed shortly thereafter. Daughter, Ada, arrived before the dawn of the new century.
Peter died in Philadelphia on 16 July 1910, and was interred at Ardsley Park (Hillside Cemetery, Roslyn, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania).
