Posted on: Calcasieu Parish, La Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/La/Calcasieu/517 Surname: Ballance, Doucet, Perkins, Heard, Blankenship, McMullen, Baker, Pennell ------------------------- R.C. and wife Rose Ann (Pennell) Ballance migrated from Texas to Calcasieu Parish sometime after the 1860 Texas Census. The Census showed three children, Albert H., Mary Eveline and Lenora Ellen. My great grandmother was their last child, Fannie Adeline Ballance 1868-1943. She married Hypolite Doucet ?. Does anyone know when this family settled in Calcasieu Parish, the names and dates of birth for all their children (I was told they had eight) and the date of marriage for Fannie Ballance and Hypolite Doucet. Thanx in advance.
