Nan,Thanks for writing.The child born in 1814 is my gggrandfather, Rayford Crawford (R.C.) Ballance who migrated with his wife and a few others of their family to Newton Co. TX in 1839.The information on World Connect is a joint effort of myself and my cousin, Phyllis Ballance Lewis.We are also in touch with several cousins of collateral lines.The more the merrier.I am very interested in your research of the Anding Community.Tell me, is Anding close to Bentonia?The Ballance house, Fair View, is located at Bentonia, I believe.Adjacent to the house is the family cemetery.I am told that the Martin Anding family is buried there, along with James and Eliza Ballance and who knows who else.Tell me, are you a cemetery person?Do you live close enough to visit the cemetery?If so, I will try my best to get permission for you to visit.Suzanne
