Message Board Post:
My husband has Quaker distant cousins in this county, but the Mills family from around
West Newton and Mooresville would not be among them. When we did the Macy study to
document the importance of William Macy's family home (and why a State highway should
not cut through the front yard), I discovered them and did a bit more on them. A diary by
Perry Macy exists and was reprinted in our Morgan Co History and Genealogy Association
newsletter in sections some time back. He discusses Charity's unexpected death.
Another resource for you, if you can get it, is a diary by one of the Macys who attended
the old Academy school. I can't guarantee mention of Ballards, but there may be some.
I think this document is in the library archives at Earlham.
