There is a large Genealogy section, of many area names, however he covers most all the Ballou's" in "Ballou's of America". which I have only excerpts from. It is a rare book and originall are hard to find, even in area libraries. It is in reprint, last I saw a few years ago was 162 dollars. FYI: Noah Ballou is the son of Nathanial Ballou according to Adin Ballou's books. In this area these books are primary sources as Rev. Adin Ballou officiating at christnings, marriages and deaths of thousands of area families and he knew them all and their familes. Much of the data in his books comes from his own records, research, and corespondence with others. If you would give me specific families I will do looks ups for you or anyone on the list. I did not enter in my data base any lengthy histories and or lines, except those that were connected to my Pickering/Cook lines.And even then I skimmed on the facts. :(. However I do have a large file on the Ballou family. Alice List Mom
