Johann Michael Batt and Maria Anna Diebold had only one child, Franz Joseph Batt. Michael Batt was a moderately prosperous stone mason, the owner of a one-story house with barn, stable, and garden, and eight parcels of land in Daugendorf. These farm compounds, clustered together in the villages, with the farm land lying apart and scattered in the surrounding fields, were quite typical of Northern Alsace. In 1789, Michael Batt and his small family were among the Alsatians who fled their homeland to Germany after the outbreak of the French Revolution. He was never to return. Family legend states that he was killed by a soldier and his wife robbed. His son, Franz Joseph Batt, returned to Alsace with his widowed mother, and settled in Morschweiler, where she bought a house on 9 Floreal IX (1800).
