Is anyone familiar with this marriage? James M. Ballen/Ballon to Mary Jane Arington on Jan 4, 1877 in Marshall County, Alabama. I'm searching for any clues about what happened to James M. Bellew/Ballew and wife Nancy Ann Chambers Bellew. They had a son, Roland H. Bellew, born 1862 in Etowah County, Alabama. It seems that James and Nancy Ann just disappeared! Roland was living with his grandparents in 1870. Thinking that the above James M. Ballen could be the same James M. Ballew..... Thanks!
