Biography

Larkin Ballard, son of Philip Ballard, was born ca. 1764 and grew to maturity in Orange, Virginia. On January 13, 1786 Larkin married Elizabeth Rebecca Gaines in Orange, Virginia, by the Baptist minister George Eve. They had 8 children:

  • Hiram B Ballard (1788–1846)*
  • Howard O Ballard (1790–1871)*
  • Humphrey Ballard (1791–1798)*
  • Henry Ballard Sr. (1792–1872)*
  • Rebecca Ballard (1795–1876)*
  • Nancy Ballard (1797–1855)*
  • Catherine Ballard (1799–1879)*
  • Sarah Ballard (1801–1888)*

Larkin and Elizabeth Ballard moved to Flat Woods of Greenbrier County, Virginia (now Monroe, W.Va.), near Wikel, Virginia in 1798 in Monroe County, Virginia [1]. Where they became members of the Indian Creek Primitive Baptist church in 1800 and were given letters of dismissal in 1802. Larkin; his brother Curtis and their sister, Millie Ballard-Boling, and families moved to the area of Tate's Creek in the north-western part of Madison, Kentucky in 1804. In 1820 Larkin sold a tract of land lying along the waters of Tate's Creek, a small distance below Ballard's fulling mill [2]. Larkin died in 1848.
