    • (1) Lynne D. Miller, "Descendants of Lewis Ballard" <http://www.genealogy.com/users/m/i/l/Lynne-D-Miller-NC/FILE/0005page. html>:

      Children of LEWIS BALLARD and ELIZABETH are:

      i. JAMES BALLARD, b. 1753; d. Bet. 1828 - 1829; m. SUSANNA; b. 27 Sep 1753, VA; d. Aft. 1828. . . .

      ii. WILEY BALLARD, b. 1760, NC; d. 1854, Rutherford Co., TN; m. NANCY, Abt. 1784; b. Abt. 1765. . . .

      v. FEMALE BALLARD, b. Bet. 1784 - 1790.

      vi. MALE BALLARD, b. Bet. 1790 - 1800.

      (2) According to the Ballard DNA Surname Project, Lewis BALLARD and his male BALLARD descendants appear to be in BALLARD Lineage Group III. DNA tests are useful only when combined with a well-researched family history.

      (3) Some sources claim that Lewis BALLARD was a son of John BALLARD (d. 23 August 1763, Onslow County, NC.) However, this claim is doubtful; according to the Ballard DNA Project, John and his male BALLARD descendants appear to be in a different BALLARD Lineage Group than Lewis BALLARD.
