Just a little additional information about the Ballard's. The Ballard's, Bruner's, and Erwin's left Satillo, Lee Co MS in about late 1893 and came to NE Texas on a train. The Robert Ballard that was mentioned is buried at Providence Cemetery in Smith Co TX along with my relatives. Robert K Ballard, b - 28 July 1870 & d - 22 Apr 1954. He married Etta L Kent. She is buried next to him. You can find this online: ftp://ftp.rootsweb/tx/smith/cemetery/providenc.txt . I have talked to some Ballard researchers also. This James Monroe Ballard, I think, is buried in Van Zandt Co TX (again I may be wrong about this). I also have some Phillips' in my family. An Amanda Phillips married Bazel Bruner in Miss. and they moved to Texas. Anyway for what this is worth. Have a nice weekend. Stan Bruner TX
