His surname at birth was Williams, which later in life he changed back to the original family name Wilhelm. Bateman's parents were [[John Benjamin Williams]] and [[Clarissa Harden]], and they named him after family friend David Bateman Haight. In [[1842]], Bateman's parents had joined the growing Mormon religion, and were making plans to relocate to [[Nauvoo, Illinois]]. Shortly after Bateman's birth, they abandoned their farm in Venice, and began to make their way to [[Nauvoo, Illinois|Nauvoo]]. By the time they got to Nauvoo in 1844, Joseph Smith had been killed, and violence against the Mormons was escalating. The family spend a little over two years in Nauvoo before starting across the plains on June 17, 1847 in the Daniel Spencer/Ira Eldredge Company. They spent the winter of 1847 in Winter Quarters, Nebraska. After leaving Winter Quarters, they headed to Mosquito Creek, Iowa and on to Weston, Missouri where Bateman's father John and two of his siblings died. In April 1851, shortly after John's death, Clarissa and the remaining children finally left for Salt Lake City, arriving there on June 27, 1851. In [[1862]], Bateman served in Capt. Lot Smith's Company for a period of three months. His Civil War record shows a muster in date of April 30, 1862 and a muster out date of August 14, 1862. Bateman's name is listed on the Utah Civil War monument on the Capitol grounds in Salt Lake City, as well as the Davis County Veterans of the Civil War Memorial in Farmington, Utah. [[image:BHW_Civil_War_record_Page_2.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Civil War record for Bateman H. Williams]] In March of [[1875]], Bateman's family was the first of the United Order members to move to [[Orderville, Utah]]. In March, [[1879]], Bateman was one of the first Mormons to settle in [[Concho, Arizona|Concho]], [[Arizona]]. On September 5, [[1881]], to protect themselves from the Apache Indians, the Mormon citizens of St. Johns, Arizona organized a military company of twenty men known as the "United Forces of St. Johns", with Bateman Haight Wilhelm as Captain. Bateman died [[June 3]], [[1903]] in [[Silver City, New Mexico|Silver City]], [[New Mexico]], and is buried in lot F-25-4 [http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/nmcounties/cemeteries/memorylanecemt.htm] on Memory Lane in the Pioneer Cemetery in Silver City. Bateman's original headstone, as well as the cemetary records, incorrectly list his name as Batman, and the year of death as 1904. This has since been corrected by Corlyn H. Adams, a descendant of Bateman's, who paid for a new stone, and had the old stone left in place for historical reasons.
