Included in the Ball Family Line are Ball, Beall, Crouse, Montgomery, Shatto, Simmons and Sloper.
The following are a collection of family, and extended family, photos I have gathered, for the Ball Family Line.
The Ball Family Photo Album, it's cover, is covered in a Royal Bule velvet material. It had what appeared to be plaster of paris lettering across the front of the book, spelling out Ball. The letters have crumbled and all but fallen off. There are many many tin pictures, that sadly, I will never be able to put a name to. The album is not in the best condition, and some pictures in very bad condition, with torn edges and fading. Through the mircle of scanning, I have croped and tried to make the pictures as clear as possible. I hope you enjoy them.I found many lose pictures in a box, many with names on them, but many more without, sadly, we may never know who they are.
**Note - there are many more photos to come, check back later.

Shatto Family Photos
The following three pictures were kindly provided by Keith Montgomery, a direct descendant of the John Montgomery line.
#1. John Montgomery and Mary C Shatto's cabin in Milan, Sullivan Co., Missouri. Several generations ago a descendent had the good sense to build a barn over the structure. The land is no longer in Montgomery hands, and there have been ongoing discussions about what to do with the cabin. The last landowner wanted nothing to do with it and wanted to tear it down. The land is now in more benevolent hands, but the discussions continue. Just this last year it was decided to take it apart and move it to an outdoor museum in Coloraldo. The outside barn was removed, and then the deal fell through. So now the cabin is standing exposed.
#2. This is a picture of the Montgomery Cabin as it stands now, in Milan, Sullivan Co., Missouri.
#3. This picture is of John and Polly Montgomery's children. It was taken about 1897 during a visit from Lucky Montgomery who had moved to Nebraska. Brother Richard was probably still in Nebraska and Doyle had died.
