Hi Everyone, I am getting desperate again for more information on my Delphia. I have no idea what her maiden name is though. I know that she first married someone with the last name of Bennett. Here is the rest of the info on her. Census records show that Benjamin and Mary's father was born in Mo. I do hope someone can help me out. Patsy Turner Carnoali Generation No. 1 1. Delphia1 was born 1840 in Missouri, and died Aft. 1880. She married (1) BENNETT. She married (2) John BALL 1/27/1876 in daviess, Missouri. Notes for Delphia: Her father was born in Ohio and her mother was born in Pennsylvania. She is thought to have died when Clarence was about 11 or 12. Notes for John Ball: Both of John's parents were born in Kentucky. He is listed as a farmer in 1880 census. John had 2 stepchildren....Benjamin and Mary BENNETT. Supposedly the family moved to Osceola, St. Claire, Missouri when the Virgil and Clarence were quite young and John and Delphia died there when Clarence was about 11 or 12. There is a possibility that John may have been raised there as I have found Ball's living in the area. Children of Delphia and Bennett are: 2 i. Benjamin2 Bennett, born 1863-1864 in Missouri. He married Sarah Livingston 7/1/1882 in Ray, Missouri. 3 ii. Mary Bennett, born 1864-1865 in Missouri. Benjamin Bennett had at least 2 daughters as listed in the 1900 Mo Census. They were: Lila b. Feb 1887 in Mo and Rosa b. Aug 1889 also in Mo. I don't know if Benjamin's sister, Mary, ever married. Children of Delphia and John Ball are: 4 i. Virgil2 Ball, born 1877 in Richmond, Ray, Missouri.Notes for Virgil Ball: He may have settled around Osceola, Missouri. + 5 ii. Clarence Ball, born 4/2/1880 in Richmond, Ray, Missouri; died 12/3/1948 in St. Joseph, Buchanan, Missouri. Generation No. 2 5. Clarence2 Ball (Delphia1) was born 4/2/1880 in Richmond, Ray, Missouri, and died 12/3/1948 in St. Joseph, Buchanan, Missouri. He married Mary Ellen Heitman, daughter of Jacob Heitman and Anna Lapier. Notes for Clarence Ball: He always said that his parents died when he was young. In 1900, Clarence was listed in the census as a farm laboror with John Allsup in Daviess County, Missouri. 1910 census showed Clarence and Mary Ellen living with Mary Ellen's parents in St. Joseph when first married. Most of the children of Clarence and Mary Ellen died of heart conditions.
