The James Bales who married Elizabeth Mitchel in 1818 is the youngest child of James Bales
and Rebecca Bracken. My late sister Sandra Bales Walker collected lots of information
about this family which is posted at
http://jwbales.home.mindspring.com/bales/
James and Rebecca were my gggg-grandparents. We did not have any information about James
Bales and Elizabeth Mitchell other than their marriage date.
I had thought that the Eden Bales in Brown county was the right age to be the son of the
Eden Bales in Hendricks county, but now I think he is several years too old. Eden's
son Eden Jr. who married Naomi Lambert in 1804 in KY, was born in the area of Lewisberg
(W)VA ca 1783. Eden, Sr. in Hendricks county was the brother of James Bales who married
Rebecca Bracken. No one has found out who the parents of James and Eden were, though their
mother was possibly named Hannah and their father was possibly named Eden.
