The Ballard family lived in Osage County where James farmed until sometime after 1870. The family then moved westward through Nebraska and on to the state of WA. Their daughter, Ida V Ballard, remained in MO, and married David Luster Haynes. Susan Ballard reported on the 1910 census that she had 11 children and that one was living. This one child was Katie (Ballard) Ransom Morgan.
