The Balfour Family in Mississippi

Beginning with a look at the U. S. Census of 1850 (Madison County, MS) and continuing with a Google.com search, I quickly found a wealth of information about the Balfour family.  Links to some of these results are posted here today.  A special thanks goes to Bill Hays for kindly sharing some of his family's history with me.
