Laura, Have I contacted you before about the Ballew line. Joseph Lawrence Ballew son of Cyrus Ballew and Martha Addington married Ella Elliott in Rains County Tx in 1888. I think Joseph had a sister but do not know of other siblings. I also do not know this sister's name. Family stories tell of a sister. Any connection?
