Allen;
I too am a direct decendent of Joseph Calvin and Martha Elvira Tennessee Ballentine. In your research you missed a couple of their children. They were Robert (who died at 20 years of age) and Clarence Edward (my dad). Which one of the children do you belong to? I guess we are first cousins. I have a little more info about our Ballentine line. David Calvin & Mary Elizabeth (thay could be where you got the Liddie) had more than 3 children, they had 7. Joseph Calvin, Minerva, Minnie, Unice, Etta, Lynuis, & Jim. That is as far as my research goes back. My dad passed away March 13, 1983 and was buried in Mt. View (Stone County) Ark. There is a little town near there called '56', AR that are full of Ballentines. My brother Ray said one time that he drove through there to see Mom & Dad. He stopped at a service station and a man walked out to help him that made him feel like he was looking in a mirror. His children even looked like my nephews. Maybe they are out of David Calvin's line also.I would love to find out more.
