Descendants of John R. Balch

 

 

Generation No. 1

 

1.  JOHN R.1 BALCH  (?A) was born October 11, 1810 in Tennessee or Kentucky, and died July 30, 1892 in Gallatin, Sumner Co., TN.  He married SOPHIA STONE January 17, 1833 in Sumner Co., TN, daughter of NICHOLAS STONE and ELIZABETH LOVING.  She was born August 06, 1814 in Gallatin, Sumner Co., TN, and died September 05, 1885 in Gallatin, Sumner Co., TN.

 

Notes for JOHN R. BALCH:

There is no Balch or Baulch listed in the 1830 Census of Sumner County, so it is presumed that John moved to Sumner County, Tennessee between that census taking and January 17, 1833 when he was licensed to marry Sophia Stone.

 

From the Sumner County, Tennessee Court records,

"State of Tennessee, Sumner County, SS.

To any regular Minister of the Gospel, having the care of souls --

Or to any Justice of the Peace for said County -- GREETING --

By virtue of the full power and authority in me vested,

I do hereby and authorize and empower you, or any of you,

to celebrate and perform the rites of Matrimony between

John Balch and Sophia Stone

and join them together as Husband and Wife -- he having

given security according to law. Given under my hand,

at office, this 17th day of January A. D. 1833

and 57th year of American Independence.

          A. H. Douglas, Clerk"

 

1840 Census of Sumner County, Tennessee; Sixth Census of the United States, page 47, lists John Balch and his family as follows:

Free White Males: one under age 5, one age 5-10, one age 30-40 (this would be John and sons William Nicholas and Alfred Nelson, although both sons were under the age of five at the time of the census)

Free While Females: one under age 5, one age 5-10, one age 10-15, one age 30-40 (this would be Sophia and daughters Mary Catherine and Elizabeth F., although both daughters were between 5-10 at the time of the census; it is not known who the person age 10-15 might have been)

No Free Colored Persons recorded; No Slaves recorded.

 

1850 Census of Sumner County, Tennessee; Seventh Census of the United States, Tennessee, Sumner County, Microfilm M432, Roll 897, District 11, Page 280 lists John as the head of household number 44 as follows:

Name, Age, Sex

Balch, John, 39, M

Balch, Sophia, 36, F

Balch, Catharine, 17, F

Balch, Elizabeth, 15, F

Balch, William, 13, M

Balch, Alfred, 11, M

Balch, Elizabeth, 9, F

Balch, Martha, 7, F

Balch, Nancy, 5, F

Balch, John, 1, M

Note: The ages for Susan Eliza, Martha, and Nancy appear incorrect in this census. According to later census data and the John R. Baulch Family Bible, at this point in time, they were 5, 3, and 2, respectively.

 

1860 Census of Sumner County, Tennessee; Eighth Census of the United States, Tennessee, Sumner County, Civil District 10, lists household 99 as follows:

Name, Age, Sex, Birthplace

Balch, John, 49, M, Tenn

Balch, Sophia, 47, F, Tenn

Balch, Wm, 23, M, Tenn

Balch, Catherine, 25, F, Tenn

Balch, Alfred, 21, M, Tenn

Balch, Eliza, 15, F, Tenn

Balch, Marthy, 13, F, Tenn

Balch, Nancy, 11, F, Tenn

Balch, Jane, 8, F, Tenn

Balch, Joseph, 4, M, Tenn

 

1870 Census of Sumner County, Tennessee; Ninth Census of the United States, Tennessee, Sumner County, Civil District 11, page 728 lists House # 106-106 as follows:

Name, Age, Birthplace

Baulch, John, 59, KY

Baulch, Sophia, 55, Tenn

Baulch, Nancy, 21, Tenn

Baulch, Susan, 19, Tenn

Baulch, Jane, 18, Tenn

Baulch, Joseph, 14, Tenn

Hickison, Robert, 8, Tenn

Note: The age for Susan appears incorrect in this census. She would have been 25 at this time. Robert Higgason (misspelled as Hickison in the 1870 Census) came to live with the Baulch family some time after his father, John W. Higgason, was killed in the Civil War in 1864. Siblings Sarah and Fountain were taken in by the William Nicholas Baulch family (household 108). Son Alfred is recorded in household 107.

 

The 1878 map of District 9 (Gallatin and areas northwest) identifies the properties of J. Baulch (John Baulch) and A. Baulch (Alfred Baulch) on Douglass Pike.

 

1880 Census of Sumner County, Tennessee; Tenth Census of the United States, Tennessee, Sumner County, Rolls 1202, Page 133, as recorded by W. C. Dobbins, "Page No. 12, Supervisor's District 3, Enumeration District 215, Inhabitants in 9th civil district in the County of Sumner, State of Tenn enumerated by me on the 9th day of June, 1880."   Information was recorded as to Name; Race/Sex; Age; Relationship to Head of Household; Single/Married/Widowed/Divorced; Occupation;  Birthplace; Father's Birthplace; and Mother's Birthplace as follows:

Balch, John; W; M; 70; ; M; Farmer; Tenn; Scotland; Ireland.

Balch, Suffia; W; F; 66; wife; M; Keeping (house); Tenn; Va; Tenn.

Balch, Susus E.; W; F; 30; daughter; S; ; Tenn; Tenn; Tenn.

Balch, Joseph A.; W; M; 25; son; S; farm hand; Tenn; Tenn; Tenn.

Lindsay, Jane; W; F; 35; aunt; M; ; Tenn; Tenn; Tenn.

Lindsay, John F.; W; M; 3; grandson; S; ; Tenn; Tenn; Tenn.

Lindsay, Fannie A.; W; F; 2; grandaughter; S; ; Tenn; Tenn; Tenn.

Of note, regarding the aforementioned census information is the following:

1) John Balch listed his birthplace state as Tennessee; family legend led us to believe that he was from Kentucky; in this same census, Alfred Balch listed his father, John's, birthplace state as Kentucky.

2) Suffia Balch is Sophia Stone Balch; the phonetic spelling reinforces the presumption that many census takers were uneducated.

3) Susus E. Balch is Susan E. Balch. In this census her health condition is listed as "paralized."

4) Jane Lindsay is Matilda Jane Balch Lindsay. Her husband, William H. LIndsay, is not listed in the 1880 Census for Sumner County, but Jane Lindsay listed her marital status as "Married" and not "Widowed" or "Divorced".

5) The ages of Susan and Matilda Jane are reversed.

 

The following information is transcribed from a letter of Jessie Nimmo Hunter, passed from James Homer Baulch to Howard Stone Baulch, regarding the spelling of Baulch:  "All of Grandpa's [William Nicholas Baulch] records in Sumner County (deeds to land, etc.), the name was spelled B A L C H. You may recall that Uncle Alfred spelled his name 'Balch.' We thought, of course, that he was the one who was 'out of step.' Also, all my references were for this spelling. I am positive that, though I've never found why, Grandpa changed it about 1830 and the original spelling is correct. ... Since the only folk story repeated about the Balch family was that the John Balch who came to Sumner County when he had run away from home was that his sister had lost her wedding dress when crossing the Green River. I thought this would be easy [to research] but that river crosses up and down and across Kentucky from one end to the other."

 

D La Pierre Ballard (a fourth cousin, a fifth cousin, a double fifth cousin, twice a double fourth cousin once removed, and a quadruple fifth cousin of Howard Stone Baulch), who has done much research and gathered much information on the Stone and Baulch families, offers another perspective on the Balch name:   "Before 1850 names were as they were pronounced and any reasonable spelling was all right. Undoubtedly, Balch was the original, but Baulch was adopted to keep the 'ah' or 'au' sound rather than to let the 'a' go to the 'a' as in apple. My name Ballard did not have its spelling changed because the 'a' as in apple did not make it awkward to say. The early pronunciation of Ballard had the 'a' as in ball. You can see this if you see the movie, 'Mrs. Miniver', incidentally. In England, Ballard has the 'a' as in ball rather than the 'a' as in apple as it does here in America. The 'au' in Baulch is pronounced as the 'au' as in author."

 

Lastly, I offer the perspective of Gene Edward Balch. Gene is a 12th generation descendant of John Balch (1631-1690) who settled in Lord Baltimore's Maryland Colony in 1658. Gene has researched the Balch family for over thirty years. He believes "that John R. Balch may be one and the same as young John Balch, son of William & Rebecca, of Sparta, Tennessee. This John Balch disappeared from the campsite during a trip with his two brothers and his mother, in about 1827-1828." He could be correct, but I have not supported this assertion, because William & Rebecca Balch of Sparta, Tn were born in Maryland and North Carolina, not in Scotland and Ireland as John R. Balch reported for the 1880 Census. Furthermore, the family legend is that John and his sister had run away from home. There is no mention of a sister disappearing from the campsite.

Notes for SUSAN ELIZA BAULCH:

Information from 1850 Census of Sumner County, Tennessee; Seventh Census of the United States, Tennessee, Sumner County, Microfilm M432, Roll 897, DIstrict 11, Microfilm Page number 280 does not list a "Susan Eliza" but does list another Elizabeth who is probably Susan Eliza. Nonetheless, the census gives an age of 9 putting her birth date about 1841, not 1844.

 

In the 1880 Census she is living with her parents. As her tombstone is enscribed "Susan E. Baulch", it is presumed that she never married.

At the time of the 1880 Census she was living with her uncle, Francis A. Stone, in Kaufman Co., Texas.

From Sumner County, Tennessee Newspaper Obituaries, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~providence/obit_misc_1860-1945.htm:

"In Memory of Mr. Wyley Brazzell, Who Died Aug. 11, 1878.

Dear Uncle Willy:-They tell me that without my knowledge you have lain six months in your cold bed of clay, beneath the old wild cherry tree, which for fifty years has bent its friendly boughs over the cold immaculate forms of our loved ones. I knew that someday you would have to lay there, too. I knew that I would not always visit my old home and find you to greet me, and yet I was not prepared for this sad news, and oh, how hard to give you up-all the father that I ever knew-being bereft of my own dear parent in my early childhood, and it was you, dear Uncle, and old Grandmother, that took our widowed mother and us five little ones to your quiet hearthstone and supplied our many wants until we grew to man and womanhood, and all we could ever give you in return for your kindness was love and respect. Now, all that we can do is to mourn with your bereaved companion and children, who miss you sadly. I hoped to meet you again on earth, but God's will be done. I hope we will meet in Heaven. W. A. B., St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 9, 1877."

The 1870 Sumner County Census, Ninth Census of the United States, Tennessee, Sumner County, Civil District 11, page 728, lists William's household 108-108 as follows:

Baulch, William     32   TN

Baulch, Elizabeth   23   TN

Baulch, William       1  TN

Hickerson, Sarah    13   TN

Hickerson, Fountain11    TN

Note: Sarah and Fountain Higgason (mispelled as Hickerson in the 1870 Census) came to live with this Baulch family some time after their father, John W. Higgason, was killed in the Civil War in 1864. Sibling Robert was taken in by the John R. Baulch family. Sibling John died in 1869. He probably lived with the John R. or William Nicholas Baulch family at the time of death.

 

1880 Sumner County Census, Tenth Census of the United States, Tennessee, Sumner County, Microfilm T9, Rolls 1281-1282, page 264, District 9, lists William's household 143-135 as follows:

7.  MATILDA JANE2 BAULCH (JOHN R.1 BALCH, ?A) was born January 31, 1850 in Gallatin, Sumner Co., TN, and died July 12, 1921 in Douglas Pike, Sumner Co., TN.  She married WILLIAM H. LINDSEY March 01, 1874 in Sumner Co., TN, son of ? LINDSEY and ADALINE ?.  He was born Bet. 1845 - 1846 in Sumner Co., TN, and died Bef. 1900.

 

Notes for MATILDA JANE BAULCH:

In the 1850 Census of Sumner County, Tennessee; Seventh Census of the United States, Tennessee, Sumner County, Microfilm M432, Roll 897, DIstrict 11, Microfilm Page number 280, taken October 28, 1850 lists a John at age 1. There is no John Balch born 1849-1850 listed in the family bible, but there IS Matilda Jane listed as being born in January 1850. It is logical to assume that the census taker made an error in listing Jane as John in the 1850 census.

 

In the 1880 Census, Jane Lindsay is listed as married with two children but living with her parents, John and Sophia Balch.

 

In the 1900 Census, Jane Linzy (sic, Lindsey) is listed as widowed and daughter, Fannie, is living with her. She lists the birthplace of father, John R. Baulch, as Kentucky.

 

In the 1920 Census, Matilda J. Lindsey is listed as widowed and living with daughter, Fannie, and her husband, Edward J. Fuqua.

 

The death certificate for Matilda Jane Baulch Lindsey was recorded in 1921 in Sumner County, Tennessee, certificate number 156. She is listed as Female, White, and Widowed. Her birth is listed as 1/31/1850. Her death is recorded as 7/12/1921 at age 71 years, five months, and 11 days. Her father is listed as John Baulch, born in KY; her mother is listed as Stone, born in TN. Dr. Homer Reese recorded her death as caused by arterio sclerosis. She is listed as buried in Salem Graveyard on 7/13/1921.

8.  JOSEPH ASBURY2 BAULCH (JOHN R.1 BALCH, ?A) was born May 01, 1855 in Gallatin, Sumner Co., TN, and died November 11, 1917 in OK.  He married FANNIE ZINK January 25, 1883 in Texas.  She was born January 15, 1862 in Texas, and died January 25, 1899 in Oklahoma Territory.

 

Notes for JOSEPH ASBURY BAULCH:

In the 1910, 1920 and 1930 Census recorded for Ottawa County, Oklahoma, there is a Joseph H. Baulch married to an Ada A. Given the rarity of the Baulch name, it is an unusual coincidence. The age of Joseph H. Baulch recorded in this census data would match Joseph Asbury Baulch. He reports that he was born in Arkansas but that his parents were from Tennessee. Since the Baulches were all from Tennessee, this is another fact that leads one to believe that there is a connection here. To add to the confusion, no other Joseph Baulch can be found in the 1910 census index.

Notes for PERYLE REYNOLDS:

A woman of varied abilities and skills. A successful teacher and girls' athletic coach. An ardent aide of her husband in his work with young people. Much of the ancestral information of the Stone Family came from The Holy Bible of Clara Thomas Stone Baulch. This Bible was in the possession of Nelson and Peryle Baulch until shortly before her death when it was given to Howard Stone Baulch in 1992. Peryle lived the last years of her life in McKindree Manor, Hermitage, Tennessee. At her wake, many Gallatin school teachers and former students spoke about her vibrant way with her basketball players and looked fondly upon her leadership, especially when they participated in  state basketball tournaments.

Notes for ERNEST FRANKLIN BAULCH:

Raised and schooled in Tennessee. Attended Vanderbilt Divinity and Graduate School, Nashville, Tennessee. An educator at public as well as private schools. Schoolmaster at "Baulch Junior School for Boys" in Park City, Kentucky. Was first a Methodist minister in Petersburg, Tennessee at the Methodist Episcopal Church South. While teaching at Morgan Preparatory School, Petersburg, Tennessee and preaching at a rural church, he was asked to "fill in" at the Petersburg Presbyterian Church that was without a minister. After several months of doing this, the Presbytery said he could not preach regularly there as a Methodist. [See below.] He then was accepted and ordained as a Presbyterian minister. Instructor at Columbia Military Academy in Columbia, Tennessee. Superintendent of Caverna Independent School District, Kentucky. Director of Summer Head Start Program. Chairman of Inservice Committee. Sgt. of Arms of the Cave City Civitan Club, Kentucky. City Judge, Park City, Kentucky.

 

In a letter postmarked September 9, 1989 from James H. Baulch (age 74) to Howard S. Baulch:

"... an 'abbreviated' statement as to the answer Ernest [F. Baulch] gave the Presbytery pertaining to their question of his belief in predestination.

 

When Ernest went before the Presbyterian council in regard to being accepted as a Presbyterian minister since he, as a Methodist minister, was preaching regularly in a Presbyterian church that did not have a minister, the matter of his belief in predestination came up.

 

His statement to them was that in regard to that question, he would give them two answers and they could then make their decision. He told them that he would give them first the answer that they probably desired which was the one contained in the Presbyterian doctrine and that his second answer would be his own personal belief whereby he did not believe in strict predestination as he did not believe that it was pre-destined as to whether or not he would be accepted by the Presbytery but that he believed that God had a plan for the world and that ultimately God's plan would succeed. He said that he might have received the call to be the minister of that church but that he could refuse the call (someone else would have to accept the call). If he was called to be a Presbyterian minister that his refusal to accept the call at that time did not mean that God would not make the call to him again.

 

Ernest never had, or never gave me, a copy of his written answer nor was it ever written out in any of his sermons that I had. He used it at times in sermons I heard and also in some meetings I attended during which he elaborated more, however, the main belief is that God's will in an overall viewpoint will be accomplished - God may have a job for Jim Baulch to do but Jim Baulch may not do it; so God will find someone else to hear his call.

 

I know that I got a lot of my beliefs from my brother as I lived with his [family] for a while, worked in a boarding school with him, and owned and operated a boy's boarding school with him and it is hard for me to explain my own belief on predestination. I know that God's plan for the world will succeed, but I am not that sure that God's plan for Jim Baulch has succeeded. I just pray that one of his alternate plans will succeed. There is no way that I can believe in strict predestination when I look at the happenings in the world in this century or in any of the past nor can I explain Christ's statement that he lost only the one that was so predestined."

                 iii.    JAMES HOMER BAULCH, b. December 18, 1915, Gallatin, Sumner Co., TN; d. November 24, 1992, Slidell, St. Tammany Parish, LA; m. MADIE GIBSON, April 13, 1940; b. May 14, 1919, Bond, Stone Co., MS.

 

Notes for JAMES HOMER BAULCH:

The middle name of Homer came from the man who delivered James into this world, Dr. Homer Reese. Raised and schooled in Tennessee, he spent his grammar school years at the Salem School building where he laughingly claimed he "was the smartest one in the eighth grade ... and the only one!" He attended Spartanburg Textile & Industrial Institute (l.k.a. Spartanburg Junior College), University of Tennessee, and Bowling Green College of Commerce. After graduating from college, he became an instructor and business manager at Harrison-Stone-Jackson Agricultural High School and Junior College (l.k.a. Perkinston Junior College), where he met a student, Madie Gibson, who became his wife. He and Madie moved to Charlotte, North Carolina where he was a bookkeeper and instructor for Carolina Business College. He later joined his brother, Ernest, as schoolmaster at "Baulch Junior School for Boys" in Park City, Kentucky until 1949. From there they moved to Hopkinsville, Kentucky where he was Business Manager for Hopkinsville Lincoln-Mercury and bookkeeper for Hopkinsville Auto Parts until 1958. He was then recruited by Oak Motors of Nashville, Tennessee to be Assistant Business Manager. In 1959 he was recruited by Jim Burke Buick of Birmingham, Alabama to be Business Manager. In 1964 he followed his doctor's advice to find a less stressful job and moved to Slidell, Louisiana to be Business Manager and part owner of John Brown Olds (later Tom Brown Olds-Buick, Del Williams Motors, and Bill Ward Motors), Slidell, Louisiana until his retirement in 1986 (excepting for a brief return to Birmingham, Alabama to help out Jim Burke Buick in 1971).

 

James Baulch was received into membership of the Salem Methodist Church, north of Gallatin, Sumner County, Tennessee in October 1929 by his brother, Rev. Ernest F. Baulch. He remained an active member of the United Methodist Church his entire life, holding numerous positions on its boards and committees and taught an Adult Sunday School Class for over 30 years. He was an ardent believer in maintaining a healthy body, engaging in a variety of exercise programs, particularly those centered around running. He won numerous awards for finishing top in his age group for 10K and 5K runs through age 76. Having been raised on a farm, the "farmer blood" never left him. He maintained a vegetable garden wherever he lived and helped his children establish ones for them.

 

Largely due to his active life style, he looked and acted younger than his years. He was admired and respected by his friends and family for his physical, mental, and spiritual strength. He was the epitome of reliability: if he promised he would do something, he did it as committed and did it well. While quite introverted, he was a friend to anyone who needed him, often selflessly sacrificing himself in support of others. Friends and family knew they could count on him.

 

He and his wife, Madie, lived a beautiful fifty-two years together. They were always committed to each other, to their family, to their church, and to their friends. They were both victims of a tragic car accident (being hit broadside by a one-ton truck that ran through an inoperative red light) in May 1992 and were hospitalized for over a month. With two brain hemorrhages and numerous broken bones, recovery was slow and physical therapy was difficult. Six months later, a massive stroke put him in a deep, irreversible coma. With no hope of a functional life, his family followed his often repeated request if such an occasion arose. He was taken home and removed from life support systems. He died on November 24, 1992, two days before Thanksgiving. It was as he would have liked it: he was at home in his own bed, kept warm by the quilt made by his mother that had been a wedding gift to Madie and him, and surrounded by his family. Madie, all three children, and all their spouses were there, singing hymns from the United Methodist Hymnal. It was during his son Howard's singing of "How Great Thou Art" that he breathed his last breath here on earth. His son-in-law, Floyd Duvall, fittingly read the Twenty-Third Psalm as he joined the angels in heaven.

 

Originally, Jim was placed in a mausoleum in Forest Lawn Cemetery, Slidell, Louisiana. After Madie moved to Franklin, Tennessee in September 1997, he was moved to his final burial place in Woodlawn Memorial Park in Nashville, Tennessee, near his parents and his brother, Nelson Howard Baulch.

Burial: 1997, Woodlawn Memorial Park, Nashville, TN

HS Education: Raised and schooled in Gallatin, TN

Religion: Methodist

 

Notes for MADIE GIBSON:

Madie was given the name Maybell at birth, but her sister, Mittie Ruth, could never pronounce it right and called her Madie. Eventually she legally changed her name to Madie and dropped any reference to Maybell. She was raised in Bond, Mississippi and attended Harrison-Stone-Jackson Agricultural High School and Junior College (later known as Perkinston Junior College).

 

The following is her wedding announcement contained in a local newspaper:

"Mr. Abner Gibson announces the marriage of his daughter Miss Madie Gibson to Mr. James H. Baulch, son of Mr. G. N. Baulch of Gallatin, Tenn. The groom is a graduate of Bowling Green Commercial Law School of Bowling Green, Kentucky and has been bookkeeping instructor and business manager at Perkinston Junior Colege (sic) for two years when he resigned to take a position in Tennessee. The bride is a graduate of Perkinston High School. The young couple left as soon as his work was completed at the Junior College. They will be at his home in Gallatin, Tenn."

 

Madie was an accomplished seamstress, making clothes for her children and thirteen grandchildren. She was an active member of the United Methodist Church, having held numerous positions on church boards and committees. One of her greatest gifts is her contributions to the Altar Guild and, more directly, the talent she has with the flower arrangements for the church services. When Jim entered semi-retirement, they enjoyed travels to West Germany, Austria, England, Canada, and Brazil. Life was difficult for Madie after Jim died in November 1992. In September 1997 she moved from Slidell, Louisiana to Morningside Assisted Living in Franklin, Tennessee.
