Notes

Note NI042[safe2.15.10.FTW]

The Ballenger name was originally spelled Boellinger (some descendants spell it Ballinger), they came from an area between Spiegelau and St. Oswald in Bayerischer Wald, Bavaria. This is an area where Bavaria, Austria and Czechoslovakia meet, and it also contains the Bohemian or Bavarian forest. This was very hard for me to tract down on the internet. I also want to remind the reader that there were earlier Ballengers in Indiana in the 1820 census who might have been related, or they might have come from Pennsylvania as there were many there who also came to Indiana.

There is a stone for Nancy in the Ketchem Cemetery, but none for John. But next to Nancy's grave there is some indication that there is a grave next to her, probably John. (12.1.06)

According to my cousin, Betty (Edson) Elkins/Jacobs, a great granddaughter of John, John was buried next to Nancy, and his grave stone was vandalized and destroyed.
