Henry Ballinger

  General Notes:

BALLINGER-Huguenot ancestry. According to family tradition there were five Ballinger brothers in France, one of whom was burned at the stake and one hanged during the persecutions of the Huguenots. The remaining brothers came to America in 1678. One settled in Virginia, one in Pennsylvania and the third, Henry Ballinger, progenitor of the family in Burlington County, settled in Evesham Township not far from the village of Evesboro. Henry Ballinger married Mary Harding on Ninth month 4th, 1684. A return of survey dated Fourth month, 1684, shows that 262 acres were surveyed for Henry Bailinger "at the Vale of Easham." This farm was located on the road leading from Evesboro to Medford about one and one-half miles east of the former village and is still known locally as the Ballinger farm. Although Henry and Mary Ballinger settled on this tract they apparently lived on the Rancocas for a year or two at least after their marriage. The Meeting record of the birth of their son, Thomas, on Sixth month 13th, 1685 reads, "Thomas Ballinger, son of Henry and Mary Baffinger of Northampton River." Their children were Thomas, John, Joseph, Henry, Elizabeth, Josiah, Amariah and Mary.
