This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Ballance/Slaughter Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/gVB.2ACI/1736.1778.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: The Ballances generally lived in the Beulah Township East Notheast of Kenly, North Carolina. That is close to the Wayne County line and there are also many Ballances around the town of Fremont. My Father and his siblings were born in the Beulah Township and my Grandparents moved the family to the Taylor's Bridge Township in the 1920's. I will check the other information you asked about and e-mail you what I find.
