There other children were: Amanda E. who married Alexander Rice in MO but also came to CA; Elisha H.; Daniel Jefferson also came to CA; Nancy Minerva; Jerimiah; Martha Louisa, she married Washington P. Barnett and they were in CA.; and Sarah E. Lake.Would you happen to have any information on this family? I would certainly appreciate anything that you are willing to share.Would particularily like to know what Charles and Elizabeth "Betsy" are buried.

Recently a brother of mine remembered running across a grave (cemetery)along the north side of Jackson Highway, somewhere, perhaps close to the Ione cut off, or perhaps, closer to Jackson. He said it was on private property. Oddly enough, there was a grave and a marble slab with the family surname "TRUE". I am curious if any one in this area may be aware of such a gold rush cemetery.

Emma KINNEY BALLARD, Lewis BALLARD. Emma Kinney Ballard lived in Ione, Amador Co. for a number of years, certainly from 1880 to 1910, and raised 6 children there, including Nellie May, Blanche, Maude, Clifford, Edwin and William Ballard, and a stepson George Coffin. Her second husband was Lewis E. Ballard, who died between 1880 and 1910. She was my ggrandmother, and I am researching her family line. Emma Kinney was born in NY in 1854, and both parents were form NY, Lewis E. Ballard was from Ohio, b. in 1855. I suspect she was a nearly lifelong resident of Ione, but living in NJ it is difficult to research the history of the town. Can you give me any suggestions about sources of information on Emma Kinney or Lewis E. Ballard, such as local cemetaries, newspapers, local histories, genealogical societies, or how to obtain access to county vital records. She owned her own house and was self employed in 1910, living in Ione.
