A researcher named Robert Hewgley posted the genealogy below to Rootsweb’s Ballard-L Archive on 1 January 2003 He provided no references, so we are assuming the research is sound and will use it to guide our own research, so we are using this as a placeholder while we research this particular line. Research in Pickens County, Alabama, where some of these descendants settled, is difficult because of catastrophic record losses in 1864 and 1876.
