My family's notes - not primary sources, unfortunately - indicate that John Everhart, a preacher, who died in 1858, had two wives. His second wife, Beulah, was the one who moved with him to Hamilton County. (This agrees with the newspaper article "Hook's Point - First Settlement - First Murder" by Martin E. Nass, which appeared in the Daily Freeman-Journal on September 29, 2000 <http://showcase.netins.net/web/marjned/hookspt.html>;, which was apparently based on the books "1912 History of Hamilton County" and "Hook's Point Echoes".) John Ballard died in 1858. Other people's records may place his death in 1860.

My great-great-great grandmother Sarah Amanda Everhart was his daughter. She was known to the family as "Mandy" and she married Isaac Hook, after whom Hook's Point was named (against his wishes). Mandy's sisters were Emma Everhart Ballard, Martha Everhart McKinney, and Mary Everhart Stuart. Emma married John Ballard and gave birth to John, Lode, Allie, and Ada. Martha married Wes McKinney. Mary married Dr. Alenson Stuart, b. 1814, a Scottish doctor and storekeeper, and gave birth to Angie in 1840, Mary Jane in 1841, Clara and Minnie in 1847, Dick in 1852, Eva in 1856, and Eddie in 1862.

Angie Stuart married Lem McIntosh in 1860, Mary Jane Stuart married Frank Leyton, a teacher, in 1862, and Minnie Stuart married George Ballard.
