The only other Richard Batt or similar surname that I find in early America is a Richard Batts of which almost nothing is known. Richard Batts signs as a witness to a deed for Nathaniel Batts. The following deed was recorded in Virginia, but is the first known deed for land in present-day North Carolina. (Note: Nathaniel Batts appears as Nathaniel Batt in a few records in Maryland.)
Norfolk Co., VA: Book D, pg. 293. Court Jan. 18-1660. To all to whome these prts. Come greeting- These are to Certifie yt I Kisontanecoh Kinge of Yansakin [Kiscutanewh, King of the Yeopim Indians] have Sold & alienated from myself my heirs or assigns ye Land wch.
