this is NOT Elisha L. Ballard who was already dead 20ish years. http://vagenweb.org/isleofwight/WillAbstracts.html --
Joshua Whitney, George Lawrence, Charles Lawrence, Elisha Ballard, Bennet Hillsman, ?
EDIT1: probably not, that was probably Elisha L. Ballard. EDIT2: after seeing Mills Lawrence's will abstract,l I retract edit 1 for now, it could be either of them.
