I grew up with Melinda Ballou in Lexington. It wasn’t until many years later that I learned her family dated back to revolutionary times. I’m guessing she’s a descendant of your Hosea Ballou. I will find out because I’m a great fan of small-worldisms.

And you and Persis Ballou were both at Follen, according to a 2013 directory. She attended for years, and I’m pretty sure is related to Melinda. Long-timers will know more!
