Date of birth obtained from family Bible transcription by Effie Joy.

According to a descendant, Barb Ballard Miller, they had three children and Hattie was believed to have remarried an Edward Hayes after the death of Elijah BALLARD.

Also from Roberta Ballard Medina, another descendant (from Dec 2004 emails):

Hattie was married to Elijah Anderson Ballard (they are my ggrandparents) but he died at 42 years of age in San Francisco & sometime after that she was supposed to have married Pa (Edward) Hayes but I cannot find any record of that marriage. I also have pictures of both of them. I've been getting alot of my info from my 86 year old mother, I wish I had ask more questions when other family members were still alive.

...Hattie Grant was buried in Mountain View Cemetery, Oakland, California in 1928.

... [Hattie] was born March 23, 1865. The... child in the picture with her is my grandfather William Anderson Ballard her 1st born. She had 2 other children, #2 was Augustus Seaton Ballard, #3 was Gertrude Frances Ballard.

Hattie was living on the south side of Pond Street (between State and First Street) in San Jose with her father according to the Directory of the City of San Jose for 1878.

Hattie attempted to witness the execution of her father's murderer. From the San Jose News: The Daily Evening News, November 25, 1887, Friday:

An application from Mrs. Hattie Ballard, a daughter of Grant, the murdered man, to witness the execution was denied.

Hattie Ballard Hayes had a collection of pictures which not only included pictures of her immediate family, but also members of the Foster, McGuire, Fulkerson, and Wendt families. From Roberta Ballard Medina (email Dec 2004):

I am a gggranddaughter of Ruhama Doyle Cockrill & Henry A. Grant. I found your website thru my cousin Barb Miller... The main reason I'm writing to you is because I have several pictures from the late 1800's to early 1900's of people I could not identify with the family until I learned that Ruhama was married to Henry Cockrill & had 6 children. I have pictures with the names Foster, McGuire, Fulkerson & 1 child by the name of Bardin.... I saw the picture of one man named McGuire. I have a picture of Charles McGuire & his son [brother]Bert & daughter [sister]Ida... When my cousin Barb Miller told me about your website I couldn't believe it, then after I read some of the information, the pictures I have started to make sense. By the way I only just found Barb after thirty or so years of not being in touch. Another tidbit, years ago no one wanted these pictures, so my mother (who is not of this family line) said she would take them. They were in her possesion stored away in a trunk for alot of years. I asked her if I could have them & here they are. ...I don't know if this helps any but Hattie was also known as "Big Grandma".
