I have no Bales in my or my husbands family.  Brown County has Greathouse and more.  If you want to look at my tree and I would like to look at yours to see where our dna matches, just let me know.  Marie Pond Greathouse On Tuesday, July 1, 2014 1:09 PM, Constance Shotts <[email protected]> wrote: I am related to the Bales family through my grandmother who was Pearl Mae Bales, daughter of Samuel Francis and Lydia Clementine Chandler Bales.  A cousin I met through DNA matching and I have been working on establishing the paper documentation for the Bales line, and have it back to Eden Bales who was born about 1745, lived in Virginia, and died about 1815 in Clay County, Kentucky.  Several of the children of Eden Bales, including my 3rd great grandfather Aden Bales settled in the Brown County and Monroe County area of Indiana.  My cousin and I have also discovered a direct male Bales descendant who comes through another son of Eden Bales, and whose descendants moved to Texas.  This Bales cousin has done Y-DNA testing and we would like to find other direct male descendants (they would be surnamed Bales) to do DNA testing.  We would also like to have other descendants of the Eden Bales do autosomal DNA testing.  Additional persons of this Bales line doing DNA testing will help us to further prove all of the branches descending from Eden Bales (we know he had at least five sons and a daughter) but may also help us go farther back to the ancestors of Eden Bales.  If you are a Bales, or if you have an ancestor back in Monroe or Brown county who was a Bales, I would love to hear from you.  I would never have learned about my cousins through the Bales family out in Kansas without the benefit of the DNA testing that we both did.  It's painless (a cheek swab or a spit test) and getting cheaper all the time.  Even if you aren't sure that you would want to DNA testing, I would love to talk with you about the family.
