Ballard, Eastman, Reeve


An interesting note:

Israel Ballard was the great grandfather of George Eastman,
founder of Eastman Kodak Company


Another interesting item:
Joshua Ripley, through Israel's wife, Alice, is a direct ancestor of Christopher Reeve...as is anyone who is a descendant of Israel!
