Ebeneezer Balch line of Wethersfield/Hartford CT area 1600s-1700s.
North to Lake Champlain,ClintonCo,NY where a 3rd generation Ebeneezer Balch
engaged in the lumber trade across the Canadian border. One of this
Ebeneezer's sons, Horatio James Balch b.1806,m.Sophronia Allard in
Clinton Co,NY then a few years later moved west to OH, then to
southern IN, where in 1846,Horatio died leaving widow Sophronia
with a large family of small children. She remarried to widower
Wm.Sutterfield in Gibson Co by 1847.Most of his children were grown
and gone,but a younger son Isaac Sutterfield remained and he and
Sophronia's oldest daughter Elizabeth 'Betsy'Selina Balch were
married in Gibson Co,IN in 1849. This couple moved across the Wabash River
into southern IL,settling in Decker Twp,Richland Co,IL where they
raised a family of 13 children and lived in Decker Twp until Isaac's
death.I am interested in both OH,IN,IL Balch lines as well as the
early New England line of Balch and all the allied lines their which
include: BELDEN,KING,BIRCHARD and many other very early NE families.
