THOMAS SMITH and JANE GOFF, his wife; BENJAMIN WILLIAMS and his wife; and JOHN AULD SMITH and LEUSEY WILLIAMS and their children

Thomas Smith was born in Anson County, N. C, about 1768. That is thought to have been the exact year. He lived and died in that county after 1820. The oldest child of his parents, he, when yet a young man, was thrown on his own resources. His father had acquired a considerable landed estate. His grandfather, Samuel Flake, who died in 1802, being over 100 years old, was also a large landholder.

John Smith, James Smith and Thomas Smith were all good financiers and accumulated what was then termed a wealthy estate. John and James grew to be extremely wealthy and Thomas with a fortune less than theirs, but with a sufficiency, on the marriage of his only son, John Auld Smith, gave him two good farms and fourteen negroes with which to begin life's battles. The records also disclose that he gave his daughter on her marriage two hundred acres of land.

Besides being a Planter, Thomas Smith spent most of his time as a Distiller, making cider, apple and peach brandy. His mother, Mary (Flake) Smith was a member of the Baptist Church.

We find that Thomas Smith and Benjamin Williams both wrote a good hand and both were frequently called upon to write or witness legal documents. Thomas Smith died shortly after 1820 and perhaps before 1825 and was buried near Lilesville. His wife Jane Goff survived him. We know absolutely nothing of her ancestry. Her will was probated in 1835 in Anson County, N. C, and tradition is that she at that time was about eighty years old. She was then probably born about 1765, but she was probably near the age of her husband. In 1792 we find that George E. Goff of Rowan County married Mary Frost. This is just north of Anson County.

Besides the lands and properties that Thomas Smith had given his son about 1817 on his marriage, and the two hundred acres he gave Naomi Smith who had married James Capel, the records disclose that later a two hundred acre tract in which his wife, Jane (Goff) Smith had a dowry was sold or her dowry rather was sold to pay a note on which she was security. The son, John Auld Smith was not a good financier He and his mother also went on notes as security. The wealth left her dwindled and at her death, she only had one tract of land which brought a yearly rental of $50.00, the wages of a common laborer for that day.

Benjamin Williams was born in Wake County, N. C. about 1780. It is possible that he was born in Edgecombe County and that the date of his birth may have been earlier or later. Tradition is that he was born in Wake County. He married Oct. 2, 1802 and from that only can we guess at the date of his birth. In 1800, with his parents, he moved from Wake to Anson County, N. C. and located near Lilesville.
The records indicate that he was born in an humble home. The estates that had come from the Alston Family and from Samuel Williams Sr. had dwindled. Whether this was the result of mismanagement of the fortune, or misfortune of the Revolutionary war we know not. His father owned only a small tract of land in Wake County. He does not seem to have purchased any after coming to Anson. As the sons early purchased lands in Anson after coming there in 1800, it is likely the father, William Williams, lived on the lands of some child. Schools were scarce in those days. Only those of wealth were able to employ a private tutor or able to send the children to school to any great extent. Books were scarce. In some way, we know not how, Benjamin Williams was able to obtain a fair education. We have seen a number of writings left by him. He wrote a good, bold hand, well rounded letters, plain and well readable. He used good language, fairly correct, and his method of making out bills and keeping books showed him a man above the average intelligence.

Benjamin Williams was a Planter by occupation. He also like Thomas Smith operated a Distillery, making cider, peach and apple brandy. Neither of these engaged in the manufacture of whisky as we later knew it. Peach and apple brandies and cider were their specialties. With Thomas Smith, Distilling was his occupation and Planting was a diversion. With Benjamin Williams, Planting was his occupation and Distilling a diversion.

Benjamin Williams and Elizabeth Williams were married October 2, 1802. From tradition we are very confident that her name was Leusey Elizabeth Pate. We have no documentary evidence but this is the best traditional story. The marriage bonds of Anson County were destroyed during the war of the sixties. Possibly he returned to Wake County and there married her. Only a small per cent of the marriage bonds of that county are in existence. We find in Wake County, in 1820, John Williams married Nancy Pate, in 1815 Joseph Wright married Sally Pate, and August 12, 1783 John Williams married Barzilla Pate. It is possible that this John Williams was his oldest brother. There were many of the name of Williams in Wake County in that day. We are told by our Anson County relatives the name of the wife of John Williams was Martha.
Elizabeth Williams, the first wife, died January 10, 1808 and Benjamin Williams later married a Miss Mitchell, sister of Thomas Mitchell. Our grandmother was by the first wife. In 1838 Benjamin Williams accompanied his daughter, Leusey Williams and her husband John Auld Smith to Henderson County, Tenn., where he purchased, for $800.00, two hundred acres of land and gave it to his daughter. When his daughter Elizabeth (Betsy) who married David Townsend went to Mississippi, or afterwards, he gave her, or later left her, quite a small estate.

From the two above families came the marriage in the year of 1818, of John Auld Smith, the only son of Thomas Smith, to Leusey Williams, the oldest child of Benjamin Williams. With a marriage gift of two good farms and fourteen negroes from Thomas Smith, the life looked bright. This was considerable fortune in those days. A slave was valuable property. The good intentions of the father had not the effect expected. The father dying some three or four years after, the signature of John Auld Smith was good anywhere. He was asked to sign and freely signed as security for others. Too freely he indulged in the wares his father had manufactured. At one time seven of his slaves were put on the block and sold to pay the debts of others. A loving mother came to his rescue and acting unwisely she signed notes as security. Her dowry and his interest in a two hundred acre tract of land were sold at public sale to pay debts of others, if traditions are correct as verified by the records. John Auld Smith was of the old Baptist religion. A crime it was not to pay a debt. It was not many years until all of the wealth his father gave him was gone. He ever afterwards lived in a most humble home. Until his death he was able to retain his greatest fortune, Leusey Williams, his wife. She retained the Scotch spelling. Leusey, instead of Lucy. There was a large flow of Scotch blood in her veins. She was a maiden fair, a mother loved, worshipped, and idolized; a sainted ancestor whose life long had its influence on her children after she had passed away.

In 1818, Elijah Flake and others had left Anson County and gone to the great west where they settled in Henderson County, Tenn. near Red Mound. Finding fields and pastures there to their liking, others from Anson came. On January 5, 1837, Elijah Flake was back in Anson County on a visit. A new babe was then born. At his request it was named Elijah Flake Smith. Elijah Flake had no doubt become impregnated with that American spirit that has ever characterized those going west and no doubt sang the praises of this new country.
Deciding to make the venture, John Auld Smith and his wife began the journey in the early spring of 1838. With six horses hitched to a wagon, in which were loaded their household goods and things of that character, together with members of the family, possibly with some cattle driven on foot, they began their journey. We are of the opinion that they early crossed the Cinch river and then journeyed down and along the western and northern meanders of that stream, and of the Holstein and Tennessee rivers, passing where is now Knoxville, Chattanooga, and to Florence, Alabama, then called Mussel Shoals, and there crossed the Tennessee river. They perhaps then traveled along near the river for some distance, at length leaving it for Henderson County, Tenn. and in the last part of April arrived and settled seven miles Northwest of Lexington, Tenn. There they lived and died and were buried. There were some dangers attendant to this journey but nothing of a serious nature happened. One night Nancy Ellen, then five years old, was trudging along behind with the older children, holding to and at times riding on the long coupling pole extending behind. Unexpectedly they came to a creek, and in it the horses and wagons went, while Nancy Ellen was thus riding. Completely under the water she went, but game like, held on and was none the worse save for a cold baptizing. On this journey, there may have been others. We are of the opinion that Hampton Williams, a half brother, Nancy Williams, a half sister, and her husband, Isaac Williams came with them. Benjamin Williams, the father, was with them.
For $800.00 Benjamin Williams purchased 210 acres of land, on which there was a small log house and ten acres of corn just planted, and this he had deeded to Leusey (Williams) Smith and after her death to her children. As a gift he thus lightened the burdens of his daughter, and then journeyed to North Carolina to look after his business. In ways at other times he assisted this daughter, as well as other members of his family.
In our childhood days, there was more narrowness in Church circles than at the present day. At least that is our opinion. In our section, the minister of one denomination did not fill the pulpit in the Church of another denomination. Large gatherings were held and the doctrines of diff rent religions were often debated. We were raised the strictest of Methodists, baptized, fed and nurtured in and on its doctrines. We were told it was sinful to dance, play a social game of cards, go to the theater. The drinking of wine of any character was forbidden. About one mile from our village once a year, the Primitive Baptist would have a footwashing. We invariably attended this meeting. To us then it was a kind of a circus. If perchance there was on that Sunday, preaching at our church, we would be afterwards told that we should attend our own church. We thought the Primitive Baptist most wonderful sinners because they danced and enjoyed some worldly pleasures that in our youthful days we disdained because of I heir tendencies. We have a most profound respect for the Methodist religion. We know of no Church to which present civilization is so greatly indebted. It has a wonderful religion. When we grew to manhood and went West, with us we took our church letter. We have ever since remained without the folds of the church. We have become more liberal in our views on some matters. We have never in our lives taken a drink of whiskey nor a glass of beer. Our views on that and gambling are unaltered. As we grow older there comes in our life a more profound and unshaken belief that there is a Deity, whose anxiety is a watchful eye and a pleasing expression for every noble deed, or good intention. More and more we have thought as we grow older that the church is not the place to locate a Christian but he can be best discerned in the business transactions of week day business.
Our calling for thirty years and more has been to deal with those indebted to others. We have had occasion to deal with those of most every character, study and read human nature in its most exposed condition. Our calling in life may to others seem to have somewhat narrowed our vision, but we are unable to see any difference so far as the approbation or punishment of Deity is concerned, between the common thief and he who can and will not pay his honest debts, or refuses to be frugal and thrifty in order that he may render unto man that which by legal or moral contract he has agreed to pay him.
In the last twenty-three years we have often had occasions to have business dealing with members of the Primitive Baptist Church, entirely ignorant of our position. We have learned to love and admire that religion. We have often said they were the most honest people and best debt-payers of any people we have had dealing with. It is a part of their religion. If unable to pay, others of the Church lend a helping hand. If a member declines to pay his debts he is turned out and not allowed to worship as a member in Illinois. It is a consistent religion. It is a commercial religion, going into all the business dealing with your fellow man, everyday in the week. It was not with any sadness, when, on the 24th day of March 1921, we first learned that this was the religion of our ancestors, and in it, and for it, our grandmother plighted her whole life, and served God first at Lilesville, then at Gum Springs, N. C. and then at Mt. Arat, Henderson County, Tenn., and that this was the faith of our grandfather John Auld Smith. Many years after he died, his daughter, Nancy Ellen in her delirious condition as she was about to pass to another existence, cried out: "Father! Father!" and a most devoted Christian she was, when now her soul left the body to fly to eternity. An invalid and bedridden for years as she had been, this may furnish thought for those of that cult, so numerous now in England, as well as many in this country, who think the living oft commune with, mingle with and converse with the dead.
Prior to 1815, there was only one Baptist Church. In it was contained many of the virtues now found in both the Primitive and the Missionary Baptist Church. The minister was called Elder. Foot washing was a yearly practice. Expulsion from the church was the penalty for not paying a debt. The church divided as was claimed on missions. The Missionary Baptist church has grown in numbers, but the Primitive Baptist church has held sacred these practices. Little whiskey was then made. Moderate drinking of wines, cider and brandies was in no way frowned upon and was indulged in by the Elders. Dancing was not thought harmful. In the dance hall, in the tavern, in business dealing at all times, there was held in mind the teaching of that religion.
As showing the feelings of that religion, we quote from a letter we recently read in a daily North Carolina paper. It is dated Dec. 10, 1814 and from Winifred Bryan of Johnson County, N. C. to her sons who were now in the army in the war of 1812. In part she says: "Your mother's hands that nursed you from infancy will be extended to your support while God shall give them strength. My dear sons: You are now out of my sight and beyond the reach of my voice, among strangers and a variety of characters; young men called into that service which has a tendency without a strict regard over one's self, to harden the feelings and brutalize the manners of men. I must, therefore, content myself the mode of requesting you to remember the many instructions I have given you whilst you were with me; to remember that you were raised in civil society, and guard against that encroachment of savage disposition incidental to camp life.
It is my particular request that you abstain from drinking excessively, cursing and swearing, and other debaucheries of human nature. Guard against the temptation of evil, and indulge not in anything that will tarnish the character of the Christian or the gentleman. Be kind and attentive to your soldiers; let not a hasty temper or unguarded expression incur their displeasure. Be obedient and dutiful to your superior officers. Endeavor to improve in discipline and should emergency require it support the honor of your family, your country. State, and the interest of your country." In this letter is found the old time Baptist religion, and in its classic words and poetry in prose is a sermon which might take some other whole book to deliver.
In 1832 there was preached at Lilesville a new gospel. The preacher was now Rev. Culpepper. It advised missions. Things taught and believed in by their fathers were decried. They believed in an educated ministry. He was an orator of some note. A dissension arose. They called themselves Missionary Baptist. Dirt was cheap. The building was of logs. Another could be built. Quarreling and strife; contention and illfeeling were no part of the religion of Elder Archibald Harris. Over the protest of his daughter, tradition is that he asked those who were of his faith to follow him, and they left the church and held their meeting out of doors and later built a church at Gum Springs. Our grandmother was present with her children and they followed Elder Archibald Harris. The Missionaries cried out and have ever since tried to dub them "Hardshell" but they, by common parlance of all, became known as the Primitive Baptist, and it is the honest opinion of this old sinner that they are in reality the First and Primitive Baptist, for we are constrained to think, yes we know, that in that church and its members is found more of that seven day honest commercial every day business integrity than any other church with whose members we have had considerable business dealings.
It was the impressions of this religion of his mother, so deeply marked on her personality, that were transmitted and found lodgment in the life of our father, and his life was in keeping with the tenets so dearly loved and held by this sainted grandmother. Grandmother was an untiring worker. She carded, spun, wove and made all the clothing for the family. Her home was an humble one but neat and clean in every particular. She and her children were chums and companions. In the many busy duties she had, time was found to assist our father in trying to get an education. Tradition from all sources tells us that her children worshipped and idolized her.
On March 25, 1921, we made a pilgrimage to the old place where lived these grandparents, and where they were buried. Upon a hill some two hundred yards in a Western and slightly Southern direction from where the house on this farm now is, with a large Oak on the west for a monument, and the stump of a large oak recently cut down as a foot marker, there lie three graves. In one is our grandfather. In one is our aunt Omy. In one is our grandmother and aunt Jemina together. They both died the same day and were buried together. Jemina was then about fourteen years old. Were it not that living persons remembered the exact spot, we could not have located it. By the purchasing of 24 by 24 feet and the proper fencing of it, the spot where these ancestors are buried can be preserved forever. Their daughter, Nancy Ellen (Smith) Fessmire looked after and kept the graves in proper condition when she lived, but since her death, they have been neglected. If some relatives desire to take a collection to purchase the ground and properly fence it, kindly do not fail to allow us to subscribe for that purpose.

Thomas Snow named a daughter, Mary Bennett, in his will. From other records, we know that there is a relationship between the families of Peter Bennett and Thomas Snow of Bedford County. Thomas Snow, Jr. married Rachel Bennett, daughter of Peter Bennett. Reuben and Micajah Bennett moved to Wilkes County, Georgia in the late 1780s settling on Kettle Creek. Wilkes County records show that Mark and Henry Snow, sons of Thomas Snow are also on Kettle Creek. The husband of Mary Snow was likikely a son of Peter Bennett. The only sons of Peter whose wives are not proven are Reuben and Micajah. However, Wilkes County records show that Reuben's wife's name was Elizabeth. Therefore, this researcher believes that Mary Snow was married to Micajah Bennett.

Family: Micajah Bennett / Mary Snow (F5524)

THOMAS STOUGHTON
ORIGIN: Aller, Somersetshire
MIGRATION: 1630
FIRST RESIDENCE: Dorchester
REMOVES: Windsor 1635
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: The lengthy theological discourses composed by Thomas Stoughton make it clear that he was a member of the Windsor church, and had probably been a member of the church when it was in Dorchester.
FREEMAN: Requested 19 October 1630 and admitted 18 May 1631 [ MBCR 1:79, 366].
EDUCATION: To Winthrop and Dudley, Thomas Stoughton wrote on 12 September 1646 "I being neither scholar nor logician, neither any way fitted for (nor attempting to meddle in) dispute until now upon this occasion," and then proceeded to write at great length on just such a range of topics [ WP 5:103-11]. Again on 26 July 1651 he wrote to Winthrop a lengthy theological treatise, signing himself as "Thomas Stoughton son and heir of Thomas Stoughton deceased suffering" [WP 6:113-30]. The reference here is to his father, Rev. Thomas Stoughton, a leading light of Elizabethan Puritanism who was silenced early in the reign of James I and spent the rest of his life producing theological pamphlets. Thomas Stoughton the immigrant may not have had a formal university education, but he must certainly have gone to grammar school, and benefited from the learning of his father and of his brother, Rev. John Stoughton.
OFFICES: Dorchester constable, 28 September 1630 [MBCR 1:76]. Fenceviewer for the East Field, 10 February 1634/5 [ DTR 10].
Connecticut assessor, 11 April 1640 [ CCCR 1:48]. Jury, 2 March 1642[/3], 1 June 1643 (as "Mr. Stoughton"), 30 June 1646 (as "Mr. Stoughton"), May 1657, 6 March 1661/2 [ RPCC 18, 20, 41, 176, 244]. Windsor constable, 4 March 1657 [RPCC 186].
ESTATE: At Dorchester in 1633 "Mr. Stoughton" was responsible for eighty feet of fencing for four cows (although this record may be for his brother Israel Stoughton, as both men were called "Mr." in the Dorchester records) [DTR 2]. On 17 April 1635 reference was made to "Mr. Thomas Stoughton's lot" [DTR 11].
On 11 January 1640[/1] Thomas Stoughton's holdings included the grant of a homelot with fifty-two acres of meadow, "his meadow twenty-four acres" in an exchange with Thomas Gunne; "towards Pyne Meadow sixty nine acres"; "two parcels of swamp and woodland" purchased from the four sons of Thomas Dewey, Thomas, Josiah, Israel and Jedidia; "one parcel is seventeen acres [and] one quarter more or less"; "another parcel thirteen acres" [ WiLR 37].
BIRTH: Baptized Naughton, Suffolk, England, 23 January 1592[/3], son of Rev. Thomas and Katherine (_____) Stoughton (evidently their second son of this name since "Thomas `Sloughe' the son of Thomas & Katherine his wife was bapt. 9 July 1588").
DEATH: Windsor 25 March 1661 [ Grant 82].
MARRIAGE: (1) Great Totham, Essex, 5 May 1612 Elizabeth Tompson. She was buried at Aller, Somersetshire, on 29 December 1627.
(2) About 1634 Margaret (Barrett) Huntington (in his letter of December 1634 to his stepfather Rev. John Stoughton, James Cudworth of Scituate reported that "my uncle Thomas is to be married shortly, to a widow that has good means and has five children" [ Letters of NE 142]). She had married (1) SIMON HUNTINGTON. She died after 14 March 1665/6, when John Winthrop Jr. treated "Mrs. Stoughton, Margaret, of Winsor" [ WMJ 634].

iii ANNA, bp. Great Coggeshall 29 October 1615; no further record.
iv SARAH, bp. Great Coggeshall 10 January 1618/9; d. Windsor 1652 [Grant 82].
v KATHERINE, bp. Great Coggeshall 12 May 1622; m. Hartford 18 January 1649/50 John Wilcock [ HaVR 608].
iv THOMAS, bp. Aller, Somerset, 21 August 1625; m. Windsor 30 November 1655 Mary Wadsworth [ CTVR 42; Grant 65].
ASSOCIATIONS: Brother of ISRAEL STOUGHTON.

COMMENTS: On 1 March 1630/1 "Mr. Tho[mas] Stoughton, constable of Dorchester, is fined £5 for taking upon him to marry Clem[en]t Briggs & Joane Allen, & to be imprisoned till he had paid his fine"; this fine was remitted in the general amnesty of 6 September 1638 [MBCR 1:83, 243].
In 1953 Ralph M. Stoughton, in discussing Thomas Stoughton the son of the immigrant, suggested that "[t]he Sarah Stoughton whose burial in Windsor was recorded in May 1652 was probably his first wife" [ TAG 29:197]. This death more likely applies to Sarah Stoughton, sister of this Thomas, a person who would not have been known to Ralph Stoughton, leaving Thomas with only one known wife.The Great Migration Begins

Thomas Womack b. 1730 and Sarah Owens family connections.
There are significant family connections to the immigrant Bartholomew Owens, to the LeGrand family, to the Irby's, to the Stovall's, Nichols and to the Dickersons. Thomas Womack, who was married to Sarah Woodson, had a son also named Thomas Womack who married Sarah Owen. Sarah Owen was the daughter of Richard Owen and Sarah Rowland. Richard Owen was the son of John Owen and Rebecca Haile. John Owen was a possible son of Bartholomew Owen (some believe that Bartholomew Owen only had 4 children according to historical records (Robert, Thomas, William and Katherine). Often, some children were left out of historical records and wills, further research is required. **It is also possible that this John Owen b. abt 1660 was a son to a possible first wife to Bartholomew Owens b. 1619 named Ann Charles, but there is no proof that they had children. I put John Owen as son to Ann Charles Owen. Use your own judgement in placing him as son of Bartholomew. Some even have John as the son of Thomas Owens b. 1671, but his son John was born 1691). John Owen was the possible brother or half brother of William Owen; father to William Owen born 1724 and died 1787 in Wilkes, NC. Back to Sarah Owen who married Thomas Womack Jr. - she was the sister of Mary Ann Owen who married John Nichols. Their daughter Agnes m. Abraham LeGrand and their daughter Jane LeGrand married Francis Irby - older son of Peter and Elizabeth Cook Irby. Sarah Owen Womack's had another sister named Elizabeth Frances Owen who married Thomas Stovall. They had a daughter named Rebecca Stovall who married Martin Dickerson - grandson of Elizabeth Jane Garland Truhart Dickerson Overton Irby and Nathaniel Dickerson (2nd husband to Elizabeth Jane Garland. There are also significant family connections to Thomas Womack's father b. abt 1704 and his sisters and brothers - children to Thomas Womack and Mary Farley Womack.

Thomas Yates was born in 1752 in Bedford County, Virginia, died March 15, 1834, in Robertson County, Tennessee. Thomas Yates is listed in the 1771 tax list of Halifax County, Virginia, with his father, John Yates, and his brother, William Yates. At that time Thomas was nineteen years of age. Thomas Yates was married to Rebecca Ragsdale b y the Presbyterian Minister, Reverend Hugh McAden, on December 22, 1776, in Orange County, North Carolina. Rebecca Ragsdale was the daughter of William Ragsdale and Ann Parker Ragsdale. Rebecca Ragesdale was born 1758 in Luenburg County, Virginia. Thomas Yates enlisted with the Colonists in the Revolutionary War in the North Carolina Troops form Hillsborogh District, Orange County, North Carolina, in October , 1776, and served as a Private and Ensign. Thomas Yates drew a pension on Certificate 13993 which was issued under the Act of June &, 1832. After Thomas Yates died in March of 1834, his widow Rebecca Ragsdale Yates, drew a pension under the Act of July 4. 1836, as West Tennessee Agency. (Adjutant General's Office-- Ref: Thomas Yeats, W 7335)

A poll of Orange County, North Carolina, delegates to represent the county in Congress, December 10, 1776, shows a Thomas Yates, along with other neighbors that were later in Caswell County, North Carolina, in 1777.

Timeline of Joseph Ballinger's Life

1691: Joseph Ballenger was born in Burlington County, NJ.[24] There are several researchers who have reservations regarding Joseph's parentage. They'd like more proof that he was the son of Henry and Mary Harding Ballenger and ask the quite relevant question: Where was he between 1710 and 1729?

1694: Charity Wade was born in New Jersey.[25] Her parents are not known by this researcher, but many have speculated that her father was James Wade and that Charity may have been the sister of Robert Wade, who also moved to Goochland County, VA. There is no doubt, that the Wades were Quakers. (William S. Scroggins has an excellent web site with information on the Wades at wgscroggins.kueber.us.)

Although Joseph was born and raised among the Society of Friends, he eventually became a member of the Church of England, the only sanctioned church of the Virginia Colony. There is no record, however, of his having been disowned by the Quakers, perhaps because, like so many others, he simply drifted away after moving to the Virginia frontier. Although some have reported that he became a minister in the Anglican Church, performing many marriages, this would seem unlikely. An Anglican vicar needed a divinity degree obtainable only in England, the major cause of the perpetual shortage of vicars in the Colonies. Far from having a divinity degree, Joseph signed his will with his mark. It would therefore make more historical sense if he had become a Baptist minister or an Anglican layman.[26] In any case, he may have become confused with his son Joseph who did perform marriages.

1710: Joseph purchased 340 acres in Burlington County from his father Henry. It was Joseph's share of 1,200 acres that Henry Ballenger deeded to his sons Joseph, Josiah, and Henry.

c. 1720: Joseph married Charity Wade in Burlington County.[27] Or not? The record cited by Reeves shows no trace of Joseph or Charity. We therefore have no documented event that could fill in the lost years of 1710-1729.

A group of Quakers formed under Alexander Ross and Morgan Bryan in Pennsylvania for the purpose of settling in Maryland and Virginia. Brothers Joseph, Josiah, and Henry supposedly joined this group: "Associated with Ross were Joseph Ballinger and James Wright".[28] (James Wright was the father of Josiah's wife Mary Wright Ballenger and Henry's wife Hannah Wright Ballenger.)

22 Aug 1729: Joseph Barringer [doubtless Ballinger] purchased 128 acres on the main fork of Bird [Byrd] Creek on the north side of the James River in Goochland County, VA from Henry Reynolds for £15.[29] Robert Wade purchased land lying "near" Bird Creek on the same day.

19 Sep 1732: Joseph Barringer was named surveyor of the road 2 miles above the mouth of Bird Creek as far as Buck Island.[30] Bird Creek lies in the southwester corner of the county.

15 May 1733: Samuel Buck was appointed surveyor of the road from Joseph Barringer's to Buck Island.[31]

21 Jan 1734: Various tithables were ordered to work on the road on the south side of the North river above "Barrenger's Road".[32]

March 1735: The case of Joseph Barrenger against James Howlin was dismissed by the court in Goochland County.[33]

18 Nov 1735: The court fined John Henderson £10 for abusing "Charity Barrenger . . . by words, speaking scandalous of her, and striking her in the face". The complaint had been brought by husband Joseph Barrenger. The court also required Henderson to give a bond of £100 to insure his good behavior for 1 year and 1 day, "especially towards Charity".[34]

c. 1736: Joseph Barrenger served on jury hearing case of John Johnston versus John Scruggs for trespass in Goochland County.[35]

5 Oct 1736: Joseph Ballenger was mentioned as an adjoining landowner in a deed for William Mattock on the north side of the James River close to Little Byrd Creek.[36]

9 Jul 1737: Joseph Ballenger received a land patent for 200 acres on the south side of the Fluvanna River in Goochland. This land may have been called the "Seven Islands".[37] Reeves incorrectly claims that the tract was patented to Samuel Jordan in 1736 and only "formerly granted to Joseph Ballenger".[38]

18 Jul 1739: Joseph Barrenger's tithables were ordered to work on the road from the Bird Creek bridge to the Crooked Falls on the Rivanna River.[39]

15 Sep 1741: Joseph and Charity Ballenger sold 200 acres on the Rivanna River adjoining George Nicholas in St. James Parish to Thomas Walton for £30. This parcel was described as having been granted to Joseph on 9 Jul 1737. Witnesses: Robert Walton, William Witt, John Popham, and Julius Sanders. Signed by Joseph (x) and Charity (x) Ballenger.[40] The James River was called the Rivanna.

15 Sep 1741: John Henry was appointed to clear a bridle path from Mountain Road to "Barringer's on the Rivanna River".[41]

24 Feb 1742: Land sold by Richard Mullins to Bryan Connerly was described as adjoining Jospeh Ballenger on north side of James River.[42]

5 Jun 1744: Joseph signed his will with his mark.
