What a surprise! In 1900 MCAR census, he is married to Mamie { ? } (b. March 1883, AR). Household is adjacent or near to Henry BALLARD and wife Sarah J. I only extracted that census a few days ago and have not typed or posted it, so it's here around my desk. > > Just printed about nine pages of BALLARD miscellany so can read it for new clues.
