First, find the right haystack...
Tracing my BALLARD ancestors has been difficult from the start. None of my uncles or their cousins seemed to know who their grandfather and grandmother were. Then when I determined that their grandparents were William M. Ballard and Elizabeth Boozer, they began to remember. I knew my grandfather, Houston, and his two brothers, Huey and Pete, and there was the large picture on the wall of Uncle Bill. The censuses indicated that Granddad had other brothers and sisters of whom no one had ever heard. In the 1880 census, there was a brother, Wheeler, who must have died young, and a sister, Sally. My uncle had never heard of this uncle and aunt of his, but an elderly cousin said that she had known Aunt Sally who died when she was young. Going furthur back, I found another wife and other half brothers and sisters but no clues as to what happened to them.
From a lot of circumstantial evidence, I've guessed the next generation back and identified most of William M Ballard's siblings. I think that his parents were William and Rachel Ballard. There is much evidence to support the fact that William M. Ballard was born in Louisiana and grew up in an area along Deer Creek in the southern part of Franklin Parish.
The first records of Ballards in this area were three land claims filed by Richard, Reuben, and William Ballard. These three claims, along Deer Creek, about five miles from its mouth, had report numbers 7, 8, and 9; agent numbers 17, 18, and 19; and register's numbers 138D, 140D and 141D. The claims were all signed by James Wallace, agent on 28 October 1807 [ASP v.II p.777]. These three Ballards must have been closely related. The assumption is made that this William Ballard was the father of my great grandfather, William M. Ballard, but whether Richard or Reuben was William's father or both his brothers is yet to be determined.
When the Louisiana Purchase took place in 1803, two territories were immediately formed, the Louisiana and Orleans Territories. The Territory of Louisiana later became the states of Missouri and Arkansas and the Territory of Orleans became the State of Louisiana in 1812. By an Act of Congress, 3 March 1807, a general survey was ordered to settle claims of those "grants by former sovereigns and other owners of the soil." This Act provided settlement for French and Spanish orders of survey and concession dated prior to October 1800, and cultivation and settlement (pre-emption) rights prior to 20 December 1803. Since Richard, William and Reuben Ballard's tracts all had "been inhabited and cultivated by the said claimant within the time specified by the laws of the United States," they must have been in the area in 1803 or earlier. Catahoula Parish, Louisiana was formed about 1808 and includes the area along Deer Creek, an area that later became Franklin Parish. In later years, 1860-1870, when census records show the town or Post Office, the Ballards and related families were enumerated in the Oakley Post Office precinct. Today there is an Oakley Church and An Oakley community along Deer Creek in the southern part of Franklin Parish.
These early Ballard settlers, Richard, William and Reuben Ballard, were probably brothers, though there is no proof. Reuben must have moved on or died. There was a Reuben Ballard in St. Helene Parish in 1830. A Richard Ballard appeared in the 1810 census of Catahoula Parish. He was born between 1765 and 1784, and his wife was born during the same time span. They had three daughters and a son all born between 1800 and 1810, none of whom have been traced. William Ballard's name did not appear on the 1810 census, but we know from conveyance records that he was also in Catahoula Parish at this same period. William was listed on the 1820 census, but Richard was not. The last record found mentioning Richard Ballard was June 6, 1815. William Ballard is mentioned in court records dated in 1818, and in a record of sale of a track of land in Catahoula Parish in 1818, there is a statement "... I began to improve in the year 1808 and never since removed" .... William Ballard's name appeared in the 1820 and 1830 censuses, and in Conveyance and other court records between 1818 and 1823. A Thomas Ballard also appeared in Catahoula Parish in 1830 and another Richard Ballard (Bollar) in 1840. These two may have also been brothers of Richard and William Ballard.
From the ages of William Ballard, his wife, and their children, listed in the 1820 and 1830 census; the proximity of the Stampleys, Ensmingers, Bunches and other neighbors from 1810 through 1870 and beyond; and marriage and other records; it is speculated that this William and Rachel Ballard were the parents of our great grandfather William M. Ballard. William Ballard must have died between 1830 and 1840. There was a female in each of those censuses whose age matches the Rachel Ballard who is listed in the household of William Ensminger in 1850 and is most probably the older female in the Ensminger household in 1840. Rachel, who was born in South Carolina about 1790, came to Louisiana about 1817, and died near Deer Creek in Franklin Parish in 1853. This part of Franklin was formerly Catahoula Parish.
Most of these "facts" are really speculations and finding them has been like looking for needles in a haystack. Now, all leads have petered out. I've got to move further back, find some firm information, then try to fill in the gap and confirm what I now have. Where do I start looking? First, I've got to find the correct "haystack". There are lots of leads to trace. I have found other Ballards who were near my known kin at about the lame time. Several of those have been traced back to Thomas Ballard of York. Perhaps this Thomas Ballard is my "haystack." This book is a report of the search through Thomas Ballard's descendants for a lead to my William Ballard of Catahoula Parish Louisiana.

EIGHTH GENERATION
13.Henry (?)8 Ballard (William, 10)<3> <4> <5> <6> <7>. Born, 1585, in England. Died, 1664, in York Co., VA. Derby lists Henry Ballard as the father of Thomas Ballard of York Co., VA. His authority is a letter from Mrs H.M. Lyons, Sept 4, 1972. Derby states, (This is the "Thomas of York Co., VA" strain, origin of which warrants futher substantiation.). I'm going along for now. Information from Jean Finley indicated that Thomas' parents were Thomas Ballard and Mary Spencer. Several researchers have stated that Thomas Ballard's father was William Ballard (1603-1689) who with his wife, Elizabeth, (b. 1609) and son Thomas came to America in 1635 aboard the ship "James" arriving at Yorktown in May 1635. The ship, on her way to Virginia, called at Boston April 5, 1635. William is said to have remained in Virginia for a time then, after his wife died, moved to Andover, MA and died there in 1689. Hotten<8> lists William Ballard, husband, 32 years; Elizabeth Ballard, 26 years; Hester Ballard, 2 years; and Jo Ballard, 1 year. No Thomas Ballard, age 5 years is shown on this list. There is other evidence that Thomas Ballard of York Co., VA was the son of Anne ______ Ballard who survived her husband and remarried to William Thomas. Mr. Derby's does not conflict, but "further substantuation" is certainly indicated.
He married Anne _____ in England. Born in England. Died, after 1664, in VA. Anne apparently married first to Ballard and they had Thomas, Sarah, Jane and perhaps John. She later married William Thomas as his second wife.
About 1664, William Thomas of York Co., VA made his will, mentioning his wife Anne, son-in-law, Thomas Ballard, daughter-in-law, Sarah Herman, and daughter-in-law, Jane Hilliard, wife of John Hilliard. In those days, son-in-law and daughter-in-law also meant step-son and step-daughter. It appears that Thomas Ballard, Sarah Herman, and Jane Hilliard were related to the same degree to William Thomas. In a Surry Co., VA record dated April 17, 1664, John Hilliard states that the cattle in his possession were the "cattle and estate of my wife, Jane Hilliard and that I have no power to sell them".... as appears by a deed of gift from William Thomas, which deed remains "in the custody of my brother, Thomas Ballard"<9>. The following record was also found: Thomas Ballard consents to the sale of a heifer by his sister Hilliard, from her estate to Francis Gray, and sow and pigs, for her own and her children's use; but not to be disposed of as by ye deed of gift made by William Thomas to my said sister, Aug 31, 1667 [Surry Co Records 1652-1684 pg 83, by Davis]. Children:
15 i.Thomas9.
ii.John.
iii.Sarah. Born, circa 1635. Died, after 1706, in New Kent Co., VA (probably)] (was living in New Kent Co. May 15, 1706). She married, first, ???? Herman, circa 1664. She married, second, ???? Jones, before 1706.
16 iv.Jane.
14.Thomas8 Ballard (Richard, 12). Died, 21 Feb 1623/4. Thomas Ballard of Pell in Wadhurst Parish, co Sussex, Eng. married 1), as he second husband, Mary Spencer, dau of John Spencer and Anne Clarke and they had: Thomas (b.31 Jul 1604, Richard, William, and Martha. Thomas married 2) Mary Leveson and they had Elizabeth.
He married Mary Spencer. She was the daughter of John Spencer of Castle Ashby, co Northampton and Anne Clarke of London. She had married 1) John White and 2) Thomas Ballard. Children:
i.Thomas9. Born, 31 Jul 1604. He married Anne of Tunbridge, who was the widow of Golson. He married second to Katherine. This Richard may have been the Richard Ballard who married Elizabeth de la Chambre daughter of Sir Laurence de la Chambre and Jane Farnfold. They had Laurence and Elizabeth Ballard.[SUSSEX GENEALOGIES--LEWES CENTRE, J Comber, 1933, p 93]
ii.Richard (of Wadhurst, co Sussex) [W.B. Bannerman, VISIT CO SUSSEX, Harleian Society, 1905 v.LIII p.130] [W. Berry, PEDIGREES COUNTY SUSSEX, 1830]. Died, circa 1638 (between 28 May 1636 and 1 Aug 1638).
iii.William. Died, after 1641 (sold land in Lillesden in Cronhurst Pa, co Kent Sep 10, 1641 to Richard).
iv.Martha. Martha married Abraham Haynes, a merchant, who May 28, 1636, was rector of St. Olave's in Hart Street, London.
NINTH GENERATION
15.Thomas9 Ballard (Henry (?), 13) [DERBY V-2] [W&M Vol. II, Pg. 276][Nell M. Nugent, CAVALIERS AND PIONEERS, 1934, 975.5N (3 vol), in custody of Ft. Worth Public Library pg. 309, 334, 379, 496] [BSSVF]. Born, circa 1630, in England. Buried, 24 Mar 1688/9, in Williamsburg, VA. Thomas Ballard, the founder of the Virginia family, was the clerk of York Co., VA from 1652 to about 1663. He removed to James City Co., where, by 1668, he was living at Middle Plantation (later Williamsburg). July 12, 1666 and October 23, 1667, he was a Burgess for James City Co. In 1666-1668/9 he was a member of the Governor's Council. In 1669, he was Lt. Col. of the Militia in James City Co. and in 1680 was Col. of the Militia. On 16 July 1655, he patented 1000 acres in Glouster Co., now called New Kent Co. on the SE side of Mattaponey, for the transportation of 20 persons. (C.P. 309) His next patent, 15 Oct 1657, was for 600 acres upon the head of Poropotank River. This latter land was assigned to Major David Cant, April 2, 1662. (C.P. 334, 496) Apparently, Thomas Ballard "deserted" the 1000 acres on the Mattapony, for it was re-patented on Oct 6, 1658 by Thomas Hickman. Hickman's grant was for "1000 acres granted to Thomas Ballard 16 July 1655, and by him deserted". (C.P. 380) On Oct 6, 1658, Thomas patented 1300 acres "upon the north side of Mattapony River" and used the same 20 headrights as in his first grant. In 1676, his wife, Ann, together with Mrs Elizabeth Bacon, wife of Nathaniel Bacon Sr. (a cousin of the rebel); Mrs Angelica Bray, wife of Col. James Bray; and Mrs. Elizabeth Page, wife of Col. John Page, all wives of members of the Council, were captured by Nathaniel Bacon, Jr.,by a raid on the Middle Plantation. When Bacon besieged Jamestown these ladies were put before his breastworks at Jamestown to warn Governor Berkeley from attack. In January 1677, Thomas was a member of the Courts Martial following the collapse of Bacon's rebellion. From 1680 to 1686, he was a Burgess for James City Co., serving as Speaker of the House of Burgesses from 1680 to 1684. From 1674 to October 31, 1684, he was a vestryman of Bruton Parish Church, Williamsburg, where he was buried Mar 24, 1689. His name is inscribed on a bronze tablet in the interior of the church and on the name plate of a pew.

22.John11 Ballard (Thomas, 17) (W&M vII p75 vIII p208 F. Johnson, OLD VIRGINIA CLERKS, 975.5J, in custody of Ft. Worth Public Library p321 VA Mag vIV p360 Woods p140 Lyon Gardner Tyler, CYCLOPAEDIA of VIRGINIA BIOGRAPHY, Lewis Hist. Pub, NY 1915, 975.5T, in custody of Ft. Worth Public Library vI). Born, 1693, in VA. Died, circa 1745. John Ballard was a merchant in Yorktown, VA and a Captain of Militia. He married Elizabeth, who was probably the daughter of Rev. William Bland. DAUGHTERS OF AMERICAN COLONIST names her as Elizabeth Wallace. John made his will Dec 24, 1744 and it was proved Sep 16, 1745. His will mentioned his wife, Elizabeth and his children Thomas, John, Robert, William, Catherine, Elizabeth and Anne. His estate was inventoried at L2727.6.8.
He married Elizabeth Bland [Watson SSVA vIV p155] [Valentine vI p162-163, 402] [LUNENBURG p174-175] [C.M.C. Hardie, BLAND OF LONDON AND VA, 1935 sh.17 19]. Died, after 1751 (living Sep 16, 1751 (Boodie SSVF Vol 1 pg 20)). Elizabeth's surname is in question. Boddie names her as Elizabeth Bland, daughter of Rev. William Bland and Elizabeth Yates. Rev. Bland was pastor of Main Church, between Williamsburg and Jamestown. Rev Bland was later rector of ST.Paul's, Norfolk, VA, in 1791. Elizabeth Yates was the daughter of Rev. William Yates, President of William and Mary College. Elizabeth ______ Ballard is also identified in Daughters of American Colonists as Elizabeth Wallace. The fact that her son, Thomas', second son and her son, John's youngest son were named Bland Ballard, gives credence to Boddie's position. Children:

51.Bland Williams13 Ballard (Bland, 33). The following is an account from Willis,<10>
Captain Bland W. Ballard, was born near Fredericksburg, Virginia, October 16, 1761, and died in Shelby County, Kentucky, September 5, 1853--aged ninety-two years. He came to Kentucky in 1779, when eighteen years old; joined the militia; served in Colonel Bowman's expedition, May, 1779; in General Clark's expedition against the Pique towns, July, 1780, where he was dangerously wounded in the hip, and suffered from it until his death; in General Clark's expedition, November, 1782, against the same towns; in 1786, was a spy for General Clark, in the Wabash expedition, rendered abortive by mutiny of the soldiers; in 1791, was a guide under Generals Scott and Wilkinson; and August 20, 1794, was with General Wayne at the battle of the "Fallen Timbers." When not engaged in regular campaigns, he served a hunter and spy for General Clark, who was stationed at Louisville, and in this service he continued for two years and a half. During this time he had several encounters with the Indians. One of these occurred just below Louisville. He had teen sent in his character of spy to explore the Ohio from the mouth of Salt River to the falls, and from thence up to what is now the town of Westport. On his way down the river, when six or eight miles below the falls, he heard early one morning, a noise on the Indiana shore. He immediately concealed himself in the bushes, and when the fog had scattered sufficiently to permit him to see, he discovered a canoe filled with Indians, approaching the Kentucky shore. When they had approached within range, he tired and killed one. The others jumped overboard, and endeavored to get their canoe into deep water, but before they succeeded, he killed a second and finally the third. Upon reporting his morning's work to General CIark, a detachment was sent down, who found the three dead Indians and buried them. For this service, General Clark gave him a linen shirt, and some other small presents. This shirt however, was the only one he had for several years, except those made of leather; of this shirt the pioneer hero was doubtless justly proud. At the time of the defeat on Long Run, he was living at Lynn's Station on Beargrass and came up to assist some families in moving from Squire Boone's Station, near the present town of Shelbyville. The people of this station had become alarmed on account of the numerous Indian signs in the country and had determined to move to the stronger stations on the Beargraas. They proceeded safely until they arrived near Long Run, when they were attacked front and rear by the Indians, who fired their rifles and then rushed on them with their tomahawks. Some few of the men ran at the first fire of the others, some succeeded in saving part of their families or died with them after a brave resistance. Capt. Ballard, after assisting several of the women on horseback who had been thrown at the first onset, during which he had - one or two single-handed combats with the Indians, and seeing the party about to be defeated, succeeded in getting outside of the Indian line, when he used his rifle with some effect, until he saw they were totally defeated. He then started for the station, pursued by the Indians, and on stopping at Floyd's Fork, in the bushes, on the bank, he saw an Indian on horse back pursuing the fugitives ride into the creek, and as he ascended the bank near to where Ballard stood, he shot the Indian, caught the horse and made good his escape to the station. Many were killed, the number historically indefinite, some taken prisoners, and some escaped to the station. They afterwards learned from the prisoners taken on this occasion, that the Indians who attacked them were marching to attack the station the whites had deserted, but headed of their flight at Bullskin, and marched in the direction of Long Run. The news of this defeat induced Colonel Floyd to raise a party of thirty-seven men, with the intention of chastising the Indians. Floyd commanded one division and Captain Holden the other, Ballard being with the latter. They proceeded with great caution, but did nor discover the lndians until they received their fire, which killed or mortally wounded sixteen (only fourteen are accounted for under the Eastwood monument) of their men. Notwithstanding the loss, the party under Floyd maintained their ground, and fought bravely until overpowered by three times their number, who appealed to the tomahawk. The retreat, however, was completed without much further loss. This occasion has been rendered memorable by the magnanimous gallantry of young Wells (afterwards the Colonel Wells of Tippecanoe), who saved the life of Floyd, his personal enemy, by the timely offer of his horse at a moment when the Indians were near to Floyd, who was retreating on foot and nearly exhausted. In 1788, the Indians attacked the little fort at Tyler's Station on Tick Creek (A few miles east of Shelbyville), where Ballard's father resided. It happened that his father had removed a short distance out of the fort for the purpose of being convenient to the sugar camp. The first intimation they had of the Indians, was early in the morning, when his brother Benjamin, went out to get wood to make a fire. The Indians shot him and then assailed the house. The inmates barred the door and prepared for defense. His father was the only man in the house, and no man in the fort, except Capt. Ballard and one old man. As soon as he heard the guns, he repaired to within shooting distance of his father's house. Here he commenced using his rifle with good effect. In the meanwhile the Indians broke open the house and killed his father, not before, however, he had killed one or two of their number. The Indians, also, killed one full sister, one half sister, his stepmother, and tomahawked the youngest sister, a child who recovered. When the Indians broke into the house, stepmother endeavored to effect her escape by the back door, but an Indian pursued her and as he raised his tomahawk to strike her, Capt. Ballard fired at the Indian, not however in time to prevent the fatal blow, and they fell and expired together. The Indians were supposed to number about fifteen, and before they completed their work of death, they sustained a loss of six or seven.* Samuel Graham in an interview later, related the story: "I came to Kentucky, perhaps in 1795. It was the same fall with Wayne's victory. When I came, there were two or three houses in Shelbyville. Tyler's Station was on the south side of Tick Creek, between that and the pike, about one-half mile from Middleton's (Cross Keys Inn). Bland Ballard's father was in a little cabin close by the creek. Bland Ballard himself, was in the station, more on top of the hill. When the Indians came, Bland Ballard ran out in his shirt tail; kept on till he came to a stump. The Indians were breaking into his father's house, and Bland fired from behind the stump till he had killed two or three of them. His father was killed." During the period he was a spy for General Clark, he was taken prisoner by five lndians on the other side of the Ohio, a few miles above Louisville, and conducted to an encampment twenty-five miles from the river. The lndians treated him comparatively well, for although they kept him with a guard, they did not tie him. On the next day after his arrival at the encampment, the Indians were engaged in horse racing. In the evening, two very old warriors were to have a race, which attracted the attention of all the Indians, and his guard left him a few steps to see how the race would terminate. Near him stood a fine black horse, which the Indians had stolen recently from Beargrass, and while the attention of the Indians was attracted in a different direction, Ballard mounted this horse and had a race indeed. They pursued him nearly to the river, but he escaped though the horse died soon after he reached the station. This was the only instance with the exception of that at the River Raisin, that he was a prisoner. He was in a skirmish with the Indians near the Saline Licks, Colonel Hardin being the commander; the Colonel Hardin who fought gallantly under Morgan at the capture of Burgoyne, and who fell a sacrifice to Indian perfidy in the northwest; the father of General M. D. Hardin, and grandfather of Colonel J. J. Hardin of Illinois, whose heroic death at Buena Vista was worthy of unsullied life. In after life, Major Ballard repeatedly represented the people of Shelby County in the Legislature, and commanded a company in Colonel Allen's regiment which fought the first battle of the River Raisin was wounded slightly on that day, and severely by a spent ball on the twenty-second of January. This wound, also continued to annoy his old age. On this disastrous occasion he was taken prisoner and suffered severely by the march though snow and ice, from Malden to Fort George. As an evidence of the difficulties which surrounded the early pioneer in this country, it may be proper to notice an occasion in which Major Ballard was disturbed by the Indians at the spot where he then resided. They stole his only horse at night. He heard them when they took the horse from the door to which he was tied. His energy and sagacity was such that he got in advance of the Indians before they reached the Ohio, waylaid them, three in number, shot the one riding his horse and succeeded not only in escaping, but in catching the horse and riding back in safety.
Also from Willis<11>, is letter written from his home at O'Bannon Station by Mr. John W. Williamson, in 1872.
O'Bannon's Station
Jefferson County, Kentucky
November 27, 1872
Sometime in the year 1781, at Lynn's Station, there were four young persons to be married and there was no preacher to unite the parties nearer than Brashear's Station, two miles east of Shepherdsville, where lived old John Whitaker, a Baptist preacher. So the parties prevailed on Bland Ballard to go bring the preacher. He started, but before he arrived at the station, he discovered a large trail of Indians, who had gone south. He immediately returned to the station, and all the forts were notified. Immediately there was a council held and they supposed that the Indians had gone to destroy the stations on Cox's Creek in Nelson County, and all there were on Nolin in Hardin County. Their conclusions were right, for they did destroy a fort and put to death about one hundred and fifty persons; there were about two hundred persons in the fort, and but few escaped. It 'was always afterwards called the Burnt Station.
The general opinion was that they, on their return, would destroy Boone, and it was decided to send what men could be spared from the different stations and move Boone down to Lynn Station. When the men arrived at Boone's Station, they found that they could bring only half and that they would make two trips, so they divided the families into halves, and started, and just as they reached Long Run they met the Indians and were put to flight and defeated. There were a good many killed and lost. Among the number were the two Misses Hansboro's. Several days later, some women got to Lynn's Station, naked in a manner, for when they got to the station, all they could hold out as a flag was a little piece of their shirt. And Mrs. Mundle and Elizabeth Ballard, wife of Bland Ballard, took clothes and brought them in. This battle was called Boone's Defeat, and I don't know from what cause, for Boone was not there, but his oldest son was there; he still remained at his station.
The next day they raised what men they could to bury the dead. Their effective force was almost sixty men under the command of Colonel Floyd and Wells. When they reached the west bank of Floyd's Fork they held a council and made that a rallying point in case they were defeated. Here Bland Ballard and Caress begged to be permitted to go and reconnoiter, for they were satisfied the Indians were there, but Floyd would not hear to it. They then marched in two companies, one in advance of the other some three hundred yards. The Indians, about seven hundred in number, formed a half-moon on each side of the road or trace. As soon as Floyd marched far enough, they closed their lines and had him surrounded. There were fourteen men shot down the first fire. Ballard and Caress stood near together; as the Indians came up each shot down an Indian and went over him and escaped down a ravine cross above Chenoworth's Run, and reached their rallying point uninjured. Part of the Indians passed Boone's Station but did not attack him. They destroyed all stock they could find outside of the fort. This was called Floyd's Defeat.
Previous to this time, Floyd and Wells had been at outs. Floyd was wounded and thrown from his horse and being a fat man was likely to fall into the hands of the Indians, but Wells got off his horse and put Floyd on him and both made their escape and were always fast friends afterwards.
Here I will proceed to give an incident that took place at Tyler's Station. Old Colonel Bland Ballard and his son, Bland, had moved to Robert Tyler's fort. After remaining there for a short time; the families being very much crowded the colonel moved his family, consisting of his wife, his son John by his first wife, and three children, about two hundred yards outside of the fort. Early in the morning, just at daylight, the Indians made the attack. John had gone out to get some kindling for the fire. While he was breaking some sticks an Indian rose up behind the brush heap and shot him in the head. The old man at the firing of the gun, sprang and seized the bar of the door, got one end in, but before he could get the other end in, the Indians were against the door, but with the assistance of his wife, they succeeded in keeping the Indians out for a considerable time.
While this was going on, Bland, his son, sprang out of the fort and ran about halfway and took a position behind a small tree, and whenever he could get a shot he did so to good effect. Bland's wife in the meantime got on top of one of the houses and whenever an Indian appeared she would holler to her husband to watch out. One of the Indians got under the bank of the creek, crawled up to get a shot at Bland, but his wife was watching the Indian, and when he put his gun through the fence she hollered to him. He then fired and the Indian fell. The Indians finally succeeded in chopping a chunk out of the house and shot the old man, and broke his thigh. They then succeeded in getting in the house. His wife broke out at the back door and attempted to run to the fort. Bland had just discharged his gun or he would have saved her. The Indian caught and tomahawked her. The Indians tomahawked the three children and pitched them out in the yard. The youngest child, about two years old, survived and lived many years afterwards but very much disfigured. After the Indians had completed their murderous work they gathered up their dead, and packed them off up the big hill on the opposite side of the creek in full view of the fort. After they had left, one Indian came back, went into the house, and was there for some time. When he came out he went in a stooping position until he thought he was out of gun shot. As he straightened up, Bland fired and he fell. The Indians all came yelling back and they supposed the fort would be attacked, but they packed off the last Indian that was shot. The number of Indians killed by Bland and his father was eight or nine. Robert Tyler stated he counted eight, others say there were nine. After the Indians left they wanted to send an express to the different stations. Bland would go, but none was willing for him to leave the fort. Robert Tyler agreed if they would get him a horse and guard him over the hill, he would go. They were soon reinforced from Bracket Owen's, Colonel Aguilla Whitaker's, and Boone's Stations. They pursued the Indians for a while but they scattered. They thought it best to return, which they did in time, to bury the dead five in one grave. It was ascertained that Colonel Ballard had fought desperately. His mouth was full of bullets. In loading he had spilt his powder all over the floor.

Francis, in his pension application, stated that he was born in Jan 1761 about 7 miles from Petersburg, VA and, when a child, moved to Edgecombe Co., NC (that part that later became Nash Co.,). He enlisted at Nash Co. about June 1777 and served three months as a substitute for his brother, William Ballard. He enlisted as a private in Capt. Solomon Carpenter's Co., Col. Axom's NC Regiment. About a year after termination of this service, he re-enlisted for two more months. In 1781, he enlisted and served three months under Col. Linton. While in the NC troops, he was in the battle of Gulford Courthouse. Some five or six years after the revolution, he moved to Pensacola, FL, living there for about ten years. He then moved to Adams Co., MS and then to Copiah Co., MS where he lived for five years and was living there when a pension was allowed on application executed June 24, 1833. He died Oct 30, 1833. (SOURCE: Micro film of Pension Appl.

Francis was certainly in the Mississippi Territory by March 1803. He made a claim for land in Adams Co., on the waters of Sandy Creek. The land had been inhabited and cultivated by Robert Hollaway in 1801 then sold to Daniel McNeeley who sold it to Francis Ballard.
