Excerpt from The Military Record of John Green Ballance: Lieutenant-Colonel United States Army, Brigadier-General United States Volunteers His great-grandfather, Charles Ballance, was a private in Colonel Edward Stevens' Tenth Virginia Regiment of the Continental Army, and he died May 13, 1777, from wounds received in battle. His grandfather, Willis Ballance, served three years as corporal in the Second Virginia Regiment, commanded successively by Colonels Gregory Smith and William Brent. His father, Charles Ballance, an eminent lawyer of Illinois, who left Kentucky and settled in Peoria in 1831, was an officer of Illinois troops in the Black Hawk War, and during the War of the Rebellion he recruited and organized the Seventy-seventh Illinois Infantry Regi ment, of which he was commissioned Colonel. His great-great-grandfather, Robert Green, was descended from Sir Henry Green of Green's Norton, in Northamptonshire, the ancestor of Katharine Parr, the sixth wife of Henry VIII. Robert came to Virginia in 1712, with his uncle, Sir William Duff, and they settled upon the James River. In 1732, with his uncle and two others, he was granted -a patent of acres of land in the Valley of Virginia, the first patent granted for land west of the Blue Ridge, and he became an active factor for the settlement of that region. In 1736, he was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses and Captain of the Orange County Militia. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
