Batesville is right on the border with Franklin County, in Ripley it is now
in Laughrey Township. If your research is around Batesville you would want to
check, Franklin and Decatur Counties. I have also used Jefferson County
GenWeb as they have a good site. Here is another link with connections to maps and
such.
