Hi, Tony. Yes, I am aware our Ballengers touch on your Johnson/Matlock lines; I have gratefully downloaded most of the land records which you have posted, and I believe you give credit for some of that to a Linda Starr? Many thanks to both of you. Anything you have related to the Ballengers would be most welcome, and perhaps you might have something on their associated family WADE, bros Pearce and Jeremiah marrying two of the Rev. Joseph Ballenger Sr's daughters in Goochland Co, Pearce ending up in Amherst. Do you know the present location of Ballenger's Mountain? There are still two Ballenger's Creeks on modern maps, one coming from the NW into the James River at Warren near Scottsville, and the other (Apparently originally Bird/Bryd's Creek) flowing into the Rivanna River (or 'north fork of James') just below Palmyra in present day Fluvanna, in Goochland in 1729 land record for Joseph Sr. Thanks for your response to our postings, although I don't think Brenda has ties to the Ballengers.

Thanks so much for your reply. That James Pearce b 1748 was too late to have a dau of marriagable age for our Pearce WADE, who was married and living in Goochland/Albemarle by 1748. His wife was Mary Ballenger, dau of Joseph Ballenger whose first land in Goochland was in 1729. I have no possible given names for a possible Pearce woman who married a Wade man, as his parents have been very elusive, although there are trees online claiming at least four different sets of parents for him, but with absolutely no sources or proof given of any kind, so my hunt continues.

I was recently passing through Amherst Va. I was at a restaurant having lunch and met the nicest lady. I told her I was doing research on the Hill family and she told me of the old Hill house in the town of Amherst. She said the Hill's owned a hardware store in Amherst. The store is still in operation but not by the Hill family. Is there anyone in the Amherst area that would know , if this is the family of Edward D. Hill. Thanks, Shirley Bragg
