Theny was born about 1811 in Virginia, United States.[1][2] Her birth name of Hazlett is implied by her marriage record. (Note that the Ancestry transcription of the 1850 census implies she was born in Pennsylvania, but that is likely a mis-reading of the census, where one birth entry of Pa on the census page has been attributed to all entries below it.)
Thinia Haxlett married Absalom Ballenger on 17 Nov 1829 in Cabell County, Virginia.[3]
In the 1850 US census, Therry Ballengee (39) was living in Wayne, Virginia, with Absallom (42), children Eve (19), Rutha (16), Levi (14), Eli (11), Elizabeth J (9), Phebe (7), Lucina (5), Theny (2), and with Jane Ballengee (32).[1]
