LecClier Edrich's Family Page

These pages are dedicated to sharing what I've learned about the families of my parents. The surnames of my grandparents are SMITH, WOLFE, BALL, and STEWART. These four families have come from diverse parts of the United States.
In the 1820's, the Smith family migrated from near Washington DC to Scioto County, Ohio. Then in the 1830's they headed west again to Jersey, Greene, and Calhoun counties in Illinois.

I haven't yet been as successful in tracing the Wolfe family. I am still looking for the birthplace and parents of my great-grandfather, Frank Wolfe. Apparently he was born in Ohio in 1859, spent his life working for the railroads and moved to the Sacramento, California area where he was killed in a railroad accident in 1905.

New for 1999--I've added a new report on my BALL family. This report shows the descendants of Richard Eldred BALL, who with his family fled from northern Alabama at the end of the Civil War. I don't have much information on this family yet. They moved around a lot, as Richard's two sons both became telegraph operators and moved with the railroad. My great grandfather Larkin Ball moved from Alabama to Indiana, then to New Mexico, Arizona, and finally California.

If you have any corrections or additions to the information included here, I'd love to hear from you!
