• Notes

  Henry is found at Nailemith Monthly Meeting in Gloucestershire, England. On March 16, 1677, Henry left London on the ship Kent with 230 passengers intent to establish a new colony in the New World. Kent landed first in New York and then headed to Perth Amboy and onto the Delaware River. They arrived June 23 1678 in the Quaker Colony of West Jersey, Burlington township. Also on board the Kent were Thomas Eaves and Thomas Harding. In 1684, Henry located 262 acres at the Vale of Eavesham - now in Burlington County, New Jersey. This land is still known as Ballenger Farm. In 1684, Henry, the husbandman of North River, and Mary Harding of Burlington were married in Eavesham. In 1697, 40 Quakers, including Henry, signed the New Jersey General Assembly Agreement to support the king. Henry was appointed special tax collector in 1701. Upon his death, Henry left his son Amoriah Ballenger, the house and the lands. His other children were left anywhere from five shillings to twenty pounds. His will dated August 3 1727 was probated October 4 1733.Much of actual source data supporting this has been deleted for reasons unknown. Emma Barrett Reeves, Three Centuries of the Ballingers in America,p. xxi: "...That Henry had earned for himself a reputation for industry and integrity is proved by the fact that he was elected to the Assembly in 1697, and in May 1701 he was appointed social tax collector for his hometown of Evesham." Emma Barrett Reeves, Three centuries of Ballingers in America (Nacogdoches, Texas: Privately printed, 1977). George Decou, Moorestown, New Jersey, and Her Neighbors: Historical Sketches(Philadelphia: Harris & Partridge, Incorporated, 1929), Chapter XVII:120, “Old Moorestown Families.": BALLINGER: Huguenot ancestry. According to family tradition there were five Ballinger brothers in France, one of whom was burned at the stake and one hanged during the persecutions of the Huguenots. The remaining brothers came to America in 1678. One settled in Virginia, one inPennsylvania and the third, Henry Ballinger, progenitor of the familyin Burlington County, settled in Evesham Township not far from the village of Evesboro. : Henry Ballinger married Mary Harding on Ninth month 4th, 1684. : A return of survey dated Fourth month, 1684, shows that 262 acres were surveyed for Henry Bailinger "at the Vale of Easham." This farm was located on the road leading from Evesboro to Medford about one and one-half miles east of the former village and is still known locally asthe Ballinger farm. Although Henry and Mary Ballinger settled on thistract they apparently lived on the Rancocas for a year or two at least after their marriage. The Meeting record of the birth of their son, Thomas, on Sixth month 13th, 1685 reads, "Thomas Ballinger, son of Henry and Mary Baffinger of Northampton River." Their children were Thomas John Joseph Henry Elizabeth Josiah Amariah Mary
