The area in which William Ballard was born, known now as Campbell County, had been formed from Bedford County in 1753 and is situated on the south side of the upper portion of the James River.  The Ballards had remained in this general area until the early 1800's when William's great-grandson, Christopher Anthony Ballard, moved to Ohio.

The Ballard information on these pages is focused on the descendants of Byrom Ballard, however if you contact me I may have information on others as my search has led me to many other researchers - none of which descend from my same line, but who have valuable information on the Ballard siblings and their descendants.

If you are interested in the DNA markers of the Ballard line, you may wish to visit David Boyett's "Ballard DNA Surname Project" - this particular line being 115902-B24.
