One Jordan Ballew was the surety an the bond for the marriage of my gg grandparents Archibald Bolling Baugh & Caroline Wash in Powhatan Co (formerly Cumberland), so I stumbled across a couple. This is the Virginia page of one website: http://www.myplanet.net/gedmnds1/ballewva.htm, which has its home page here: http://www.myplanet.net/gedmnds1/ballewsinamerica.htm I have emailed the site owner, and received a quick response, so I would recommend doing that if you have any questions.
