Note: "There is disagreement about his name. His wife, and possibly, the BALLOW family Bible say Ferdinand Lee BALLOW, my
Mother [Essie Ballow Gregory Hixon], who had seen a family Bible,
said Ferden Legentry; Ray [Lance, son of Felix Lance, grandson
of Missena Ellen Ballow], who apparently had access to another
family Bible said Ferdon Lee Gentry [BALLOW]." [1]
