I am seeking information on the death dates and burial places of George
Ballard and his wife Sarah (given name Sally Ann) Redmon Ballard.
George and Sarah Ballard lived in Cicero Township, Tipton Co IN most of
their lives. By 1900, George Ballard is no longer found on the Tipton
Co. census.
George was the son of William and Louisa Hill Ballard. He was born
about 1821 near Hillsville in what was then Grayson Co VA. George moved
with his family to Ohio, and then to White River Township northwest of
Strawtown, Hamilton Co IN. George married Sarah Redmon (Sally Ann)
February 18, 1847. Sarah was born about 1827 in Ohio, daughter of
Elijah Redmon and Elizabeth Stephensen.
George and Sarah Ballard had two children, James Ballard born IN in 1848
and Elizabeth Ballard born IL in 1850. This family appears on the 1850
census for Union Township, Marion Co IA where George's parents and other
siblings had relocated. By 1860, however, George and Sarah had returned
to Indiana and were farming in Cicero Township, Tipton Co. IN.
Daughter Elizabeth Ballard married William Weldon and lived also in
Cicero Township, Tipton Co IN and had at least 6 children (Emily,
Carrie, George, Albert, Mary and Etta) at the time of the 1880 census.
In addition to learning dates of death and burial site for George and
Sarah, I would like to contact descendants of children James Ballard and
Elizabeth Ballard Weldon.
