(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.
