The Balliets of Tamaqua
In the U. S. Census of 1860, Pennsylvania, Schuylkill County, North Ward of Tamaqua is found the following entry:
"Mrs. Isabella Balliet, 30, Pa.; John Balliet 8, Pa; Asbey 5, Pa; Henry 3, Pa"
In the 1880 U.S. Census Mahanoy Township, Schuylkill County, are two entries which seem to be of the same family:
"Thomas Kerchner; Isabella Kerchner; Asberry Balliet 26, stepson" and
"John Baliard 28, wed, Pa; Harriet 26, wife, Eng. Eng. Eng; Gertrude 6, da. Pa; Asberry 5, son, Pa; Martha J. 2 da, Pa"
These three records indicate that the husband of Mrs. Isabella Balliet died sometime between the years of 1857 and 1860, leaving three sons: John, Asberry, and Henry Balliet. Sometime before 1880 Mrs. Isabella Balliet married Thomas Kerchner.
The "John Balliet, age 8" and the "John Baliard" age 28 in 1880 are undoubtedly one and the same. No further trace of Henry was found, nor is the name of their father known.
