Anna Elizabeth Ballance, New Jersey
My greatgrandmother, Annie Ballance immigrated from N. Ireland in approximately 1888, married Lindsay Ross, had one child William James Ross, and died in Totowa, NJ in 1953. She is the daughter of Mary Ballance and had two brothers, William (died approx. 1900 in NJ) and Frank.
Can anyone tell me the origin of the name Ballance? Annie was a protestant living in Co Armagh (?Ulster Scot) but I can't find the name Ballance in Eldon Smith's book American Surnames or among any of the Clans of Scotland.
