Hey Ron!Thanks for the reply - I appreciate you taking the time.
Let's see - I checked out Napolean Ballou.His family descends from a Ballou who came to America from France during the French Revolution - in the 1780s.The Ballou family that I descend from came to Rhode Island in the 1650s.So - I doubt that they were relatives (maybe distant relatives generations back).
The Jones family in this line seems to have left Virginia for North Carolina in the late 1700s/early 1800s.My gr-gr-gr grandfather, John H. Jones, was born in Virginia in 1806 and married Elizabeth Ballou (who was living in Cambria County, Pennsylvania) in 1828.So - if I am somehow related to this Jones family, it would probably be a few generations further back.
