Notes
a. Note:   REFN: 101 Joseph and Magdalena had thirteen children. The birth and baptism of the children, except Horace, are found in the records of the Union Reformed Church, Unionvill, PA, as transcribed by Dr. William J. Henkel in 1938, The original of which is now in the collection of the Historical Society of the Evangelical and Reformed Church, Frackenthall Library, Lancaster, PA. He owned the "Joseph Balliet Mine" located near ironton, afterward owned by his heirs and Frank P. Mickly. Joseph married Margarett Burger around 1802 and they lived on a farm near ironton, Pennsylvania, where Kilapechka, the Indian Chief, is said to have lived; hence, Margarette, in her old age, was called Aunt Koplay. Tradition has it that Margarette was a daughter of Jacob Burger who came from Germany in 1754 and settled in Northampton county. Jacob served in the Revolutionary War. He was a private in "1st Battalion of Northampt'n County Militia Command'd by Steph'n Balliet Esp'r. Lieu't Coll. 1st Nov. 1781--1st Jan'y 1782." (PA, 5S, V8, p 48) Both are buried in the Union Church Cemetery at Neffs. Her marker is inscribed "a born borger". All other records give her maiden name a Burger.
