My Ballard line seems to be mostly from Mercer Co, via Carroll Co, Virginia. William H. Ballard died between 1895 & 1900. His wife, Rosa Hawks Ballard, remarried to John Perdue (Pardue & lots of other variants). In addition to Roslie, Viney & William Estel, children by William Henry Ballard, Rosa had children with John Perdue. Seems they were Mary, Gracie & possible Velvie. Gracie married a Wesley Farmer & they lived in Herndon. I have spoken via email, with one nice lady whose father worked with Wesley on the railroad. Gracie had a daughter who evidently moved to Baltimore & it seems that Gracie moved there in her later years. I am trying to find out more on these families. Some other names that may come into play, according to an obituary, are Kinzer & Harmon. If anyone can help me with any additional info, I would greatly appreciate that! Thanks, Melissa Ballard Long
