Hello, BALLARD students and teachers!
Alexander 'Alec' BALLARD was b. in March, 1873 in (presumed to be)
Buncombe Co., NC. His first wife is on record as Sarah 'Sallie' Unknown,
married before 1894 in (somewhere in) NC. Would her surname be entered in
the 1900 census lists??
There were five children (maybe more)some of which became adults, and
Sarah died in ca. 1905 or later.
Since Sarah had five children who may have became adults, she surely had
grand-children, along the line!!
Who knows the folks who are in this select group of grand-children??
Maybe one of them heard and passed along their GM's maiden name!! May
it be so!!
Alec married again, before August, 1909, because his only known child
(William Ambrose) was b. on May 26, 1910, to his new wife, Blanche CANNON.
And it is this newly-born son who is the ancestor of the young man I am
working with to help him find his family!!
The questions are these.
What was the surname of Alec's first wife, Sarah?? Who were her
parents??
And who were the parents of Blanche, the second wife??
Much hinges on the findings which these questions will produce, if all the
answers can be found!
Thanks for your help, all you who know, and may you find the info you
need, also!!
Joe DUKE
