Balaam 68 bn Ga and Mary 62 bn Md had a son John who md Elizabeth Wynn and a
dau Mahala who md Alexander S Newman 1st and Robert Peel 2nd. Mahala had a
dau by Alexander,Francis Isabella Newman bn 1842 Ga. Mahala md Robert Peel
2nd in 1855 Stewart Co GA.
Balaam and Mary had a dau Winnifred who md Robert H Wynn who was probably a
brother to Elizabeth Wynn that md John Brooks brother to Winnifred.
Balaam and Mary had a dau Malissa bn 1832 Ga and a son Joab who was 28 in
1850 Stewart GA,35 in 1860 Randolph Co GA and 51 or 52 1870 Randolph Co
GA.Joab was a School teacher and never md.There were two Joabs in Randolph
Ga 1870,one living with a Moreland family and one who was living alone.
I believe Balaam and Mary had sons Joel,Elisha? Francis?, Balaam?,James? and
William?.
I believe there could have been 13 or 14 children.
Can anyone help fill in the gaps?????
