Floyd BALLARD (1843-1918; s/o Medley and Catherine BALLARD) married Dorothy "Dolly" KING (1849-1892) on 3Jan1871. Floyd is on the 1870 Harrison Co census (pg 61A) and George KING lives two doors down, so I'd imagine that George is Dolly's brother (or maybe a cousin). Both Floyd and Dolly are buried at Coffey North. Trying to find who Dolly's parents were.
