I have been a list member for several wks. Just lurking and reading to get a
feel of what others are doing and researching. Many names are very familiar
to me but have been gone for so many yrs. Afraid to put input as could very
well be wrong as the area has changed so since I left the state in '57 with
my husband and children 'for the wilds of Arizona' as my Grandmother Rosa
Burton put it.
I was born in New Castle. and raised in Henry Co. Lewisville, Dunrith, and
granduated from Cadiz High School in '50. I was then Billie Jean Ballenger
if anyone remembers the name give me a hello.
I am having a hard time in finding anything out about my great grandfather
Emery Ballenger that sired Foy Earl Ballenger that sired William Earl
Ballenger
my father.
One thing I have found out but have not found the book, is that the
Ballenger's are mentioned in the book 'Hazzard Family in Henry Co.' if
anyone has that book would appreciate a look up and give me a line as to what
you find in there.
