1.  Gwen Edmonds of Colorado Springs, CO   gedmonds@bigplanet.com
          Lineage:   Josephine Ballew Edmonds , Joseph Chester Ballew, Joseph U. Ballew,
          Harvey Ballew, George Ballew
          1* - I have several friends in KY who have no ties with BALLEWs but who watch
                 for items that they know will be of interest to me and send them along.  I wish to
                 take the opportunity to say Thank You!

2Jeannine Ballew Childers of Rising Star, TX  vic4ag@telepath.com
          Lineage:  Charles Dewey Ballew, James Thomas Ballew, Harrison Ballew
          Jeannine is a fairly new "cousin" with whom I have thoroughly enjoyed working!
          She has given of her time and research efforts, advice, proofreading talents
          and encouraging  words to help me get this project off the ground.  She is a superb
          genealogical researcher who is willing to share any and all information  unselfishly.
          She is also an excellent writer.  I am hoping she will allow me to show off  some of
          that talent on this page in the future!

3.  Diana Ballew of WA    deemail@aol.com
          Diana and I have been working together on George BALLEW NC/KY.
          Circumstantial evidence is pointing to her end-line BALLEW, Elisha as a highly
          probable son of  George.    We  are diligently working to  prove this relationship,
          and having a lot of fun with the search!   The Boneyard,   her  web page, may be
          accessed from this Home Page.  If you haven't visited that site, please do so.....
          it is definitely worth the trip!
          Diana  has  quite extensive  IN  resources.   She  will  do  free  lookups  for  IN
          BALLEWs (of any spelling).  Please contact her at the above email address.

11. Jim Hamlin of VA  jhamlin@unitech1.com
           I am extremely pleased to have Jim as a contributor!  He has worked long and hard
           on researching the VA BALLEWs, and is now working dilligently on the family ties
           from VA into NC and beyond.   He is most willing to share information and is one of
           those truly dedicated to the extension of BALLEW lines.  You will be seeing a lot
           more of his work presented on these pages!
11*Information from NC researcher Betsy Pittman who did some land grant and
           geographical  research in the Burke County area of NC for Jim Hamlin.

12. Polly Murphy   mothermurphy@hotmail.com
           This contributor is interesting in that we just found out we are  both  direct  line
           descendants of Rice MEDARIS.  The MEDARIS name has several spellings, like
           the BALLEWs, and Rice MEDARIS was  in the same area of NC, and some of his
           descendants migrated to the same area of KY as my BALLEWs.  Now, she  is
           looking for her BLUE/BELUE ancestor, Mary.

           Researching the BIRLEW surname.  There are very few of us with that spelling.

            years. In addition to Mr. Clay's own research, these files contain materials from the
            efforts of numerous others who have given him copies of their research.  He has
            very generously given his permission to share via this web site.  I will be continuing
            to add from his files as I get it typed, which may take years! J  Anyone wishing to
