Warren County, GA. He graduated from William & Mary College with a law degree

Cabaniss of Forsyth in 1846. In 1850 he moved to Waco, TX.
Battle was the first lawyer to settle in Waco. He served as District Attorney
for the Waco district from 1854 to 1858 when he was elected District Judge. In
1862 he resigned his judgeship to join the Confederate Army, in which he served
