Note: In an article about this family by Katheryn Fry Dickens in Vol. 2 No. 4 of the Smith
County Historical & Genealogical Society Newsletter it is reported that Peter J. Ballard
was a Confederate Soldier who was wounded at the Battle of Parker's Crossroad. His wound
cause a disfigured leg but in his later life he was shot in same leg while standing in
his doorway which resulted in the amputation of his leg. He used a prosthesis leg and
was referred to as "Peg Leg Pete." The family retained this leg until a few years ago
when a tornado destroyed the homeplace and the leg was lost.
