• Notes

  William is first found in the 1830 census of Halifax Co., VA, aged 20-30. He is living with three females under five (Elizabeth, Martha and Sally) and his wife aged 20-30 (Susannah). He is the owner of 8 male slaves and 5 females. In 1856, the Ballow Home (also called "Brook Farm") was destroyed by fire. William rebuilt the home in the same location, about six miles west of Halifax, VA. William Ballow was too old to have actually served in the Civil War, but was given the title of General through Jefferson Davis. He was commissioned by Davis and trainined soldiers along with his brother, Charles Ballow. Their training camp was called "Musterfields." [12]
