HELP..Ballentines/Washington Co./WV/Ohio/York Co Pa
Hello to all,
I am hoping someone may be albe to help me with my Ballentine linage. I have been looking through census records trying to piece together some information, but the more I look the more confused I get..
My Great Grandmother is Eleanor Hilda Ballentine married Frank S. Thomas. According to Census Records she was born in West Virgina her death Certificate says she was born in Washington Co. Pa
So here are some of the names I do have.
Eleanor Ballentine Thomas b.1887 d. 1972 York Co. Pa
Father: Robert Ballentin b. unknown d. before 1900
Mother: Sarah E. b.1860 England d.1948 York Co. Pa
Sarah E. had a sister Jennie Unknown Cook - Living in Washington Co. Pa in the 1910 Census. Jennie Cook b. had daughter Esther b. abt. 1874 in either Ohio or Pa
On the 1900 Census of Washington County Pa I think I find Sarah E. Living with Ballentines but without husband. On page 13b. They are at the bottom of page which is very dark and hard to make out. I believe she may be with her husband parents. Here is what I can make out.
Ballentine. ?(to dark) b. Mar 1838 England married 41 years
, ?? Jea ?? b.July 1842 England had 10 children 8 still living.
Cook, ?? Grandson b. 1891 Pa. Father b. Pa Mother b. Ohio
Cook,
Irene b. 1892 Grandaughter
Ballentine, Ethena Grandaughter b. 1887 Ohio Father b. Ohio
Mother b. Ohio
Also in the 1910 Census of Washington County, Pa I find an
Ballentine, Alexander Age 33 B. West Virgina Father b. England Mother b. England
, Elizabeth age 26
, Esther age 6
Sibert, James Age 76 Father in law
, Thomas R. age 19 Brother in law
I think I find Elizbeth and Esther Ballentine without Alexander in 1930 Oklahoma Kay County Census.
From the 1910 Washington County Pa Census Alexander Ballentine lives close to.
Cook, Jennie B. Age 36 Widow b. Ohio
, Arthur son Age; 18 b. Pa
, ??? L. Daughter Age;17 b. Pa
Ballentine, Sarah sister. 51 b. England
Now, If I am correct and Sarah Ellen was living with Robert Ballentines' Parents in the 1900 census and they had 10 children. Who are the children where were they born.
I find one family that may match, but just speculation at this point. The family I think may match is found in the 1880 Millvale, Allegheny, Pa Census.
Ballentine, Thomas age 43 b. Scottland
, Jane age 43 b. Scottland
, James son age 19 b. Pa
, Elizabeth daughter age 16 b. Pa
, Thomas son age 17
, Robert son age 14 *** Is this my Robert that married Sarah E.???
, John son age 12
, Margaret daughter age 10
, William son age 7
, Agnes daughter age 5
, Alexander son age 3 ** Is this the Alexander that I find in 1910 in Washington Co. Pa
I would like to know if there were certain migration patters from Washington Co. Pa to Ohio and or West Virgina?
