Marriage conflict between Margery Ballinger's birth and the marriage of her father, Edward Ballinger and Mary Williams I have Edward married 1736 in Orange County, VA to Mary Williams. I know Margery was Edward's daughter from his will saying she was married to Stokeley Towles Jr. (will dated 9 Dec, 1779, probated 20 March 1780) Margery couldn't be born in 1732. Is there any proof of the marriage of Edward Ballinger and Mary Williams?

Ah, Winnie! It has been a long time since I worked on the Ballengers. They are not my direct line but as you know from the will of Edward Ballenger his daughter "Agathy" married John Kilby, Jr. This Edward Ballenger lived next to John Kilby, Sr. What is probably throwing you a wrench is that some have included Edward Ballenger as one of the Germanna colonists. This may or may not be true. Regardless, there was another, completely different, Ballenger family in Virginia. Somewhere in my files, I have a copy of many chapters from a book about them. I apologize for mentioning this without looking it up, but at the moment my files and about half of my house are in total disarray due to some remodeling. Let's definitely keep this thread alive. (I've seen his wife's name given as Mary WILLIAMS, and I would like a source for that....this may apply to another Edward Ballenger, not the one who died in Culpeper.)
