Hi, I am rather new to Pickaway County Ohio research and just noticed the previous query about the migration from Pickaway Co. Ohio to Indiana. Can someone tell me about the reasons for these moves? My BALL family was on the 1840 Census in Pickaway County, Ohio and was on the 1850 Census Harrison County, Indiana. My BALL family is as follows: Abram Ball Esther Ball born about 1805 Amanda Ball born about 1835 married P Lapping in Harrison County, Indiana Francis Marion Ball born May 27, 1839, Pickaway County, Ohio probably Jackson Township. On the 1840 Census there are 2 males which are not identified. These males could have left home by the 1850 Census 1 age 5 to 10 1 age 10 to 15 Any assistance with this family would be greatly appreciated.
