Sage Joyner gave me information that there was a George Washington Ballou who had a daughter named Sarah Elizabeth "Lizzie" Ballou born 26 May 1863 in West Medway, MA. This could be our Lizzie. West Medway is about 11 miles west of Sharon, MA.
Norm Wobesky provided the following: (16 Sept 1999)
I noticed your posting, and since some of my wife's people had connections with the Ballous, I thought I would check some of the VRs which are held at the Haverhill Public Library.
The marriage of Lizzie Sarah Ballou, age 18, daughter of George W. and Eliza (Daniels) Ballou, born Franklin[?], to Willard A. Estey, age 29, a teacher, born Sharon, son of Willard G. and Mary, is recorded in both Sharon and Ashburnham records; they were married in Sharon by H. C. Weston, Minister, 3 Jan 1881. Mass VR 326:320 and 327:287.
Sarah Elizabeth Ballou was born 26 May 1863, in Medway, to George Ballou, Manufacturer, born R.I., and Eliza Ballou, born Medway. Mass. VR 160:215.
Based on this information, it appears that *Lizzie Sarah* and *Sarah Elizabeth* are the same person.
In the Franklin VRs, *The Record of Births, Marriages and Deaths in the Town of Franklin from 1778 to 1872,* published by the Town in 1898: Marriage on 27 April 1854 of George W. Ballou, born Cumberland, RI,, son of Thurston and Caroline Ballou, age 22, bootmaker, residence Franklin, MA, to Eliza J. Daniels, 16, born Medway, daughter of Willard and Elizabeth Daniels, residence Medway, by P. Crandon, M. E. Minister of Woonsocket, RI.
