More from my trip to East Texas
New Prospect Cemetery Rusk County, Texas
Mary Landrum Ballenger 1824 TN - 1898 TX daughter of Merriman Landrum and Delilah Jackson Landrum
Thomas Ballenger 1811 SC - 1882 TX
New Prospect Baptist Church
Mary Landrum Ballenger’s mother is probably also buried here but her grave is not marked. She came to Texas with her daughter and son-in-law about 1855. Her husband had died in Tennessee in 1826.
Saturday night fun instructions from Randy at Genea-Musings.
Since Randy lives and posts in San Diego and I am in Oklahoma, I’m often dreaming genealogical dreams by the time he posts his Saturday night fun. So here’s my Saturday night fun posting on Sunday morning before going off to church.
His directions:
This little exercise in computer file organization was on Facebook this week and a number of genealogy Facebookers played it.
1) Go to your My Pictures folder (or the equivalent) and pick out the 6th item in that folder. Then pick out the 6th item in that folder, and so forth, until you get to an actual picture.
2) Post that picture to your blog with an explanation of what the picture depicts, including place and date.

This photo was is Lewis Charlton Ball, 1848 – 1904.
The photo was probably taken in Iowa.
He is the youngest son of my 4th great grandparents, Dr. William Green and Elizabeth Charlton Ball. I am grateful to a cousin for this photo as well as copies of photos of William and Elizabeth.
