RESPONSE:
There are no BALEWs listed on the 1860 Knox Co. I see no listing on the
1850 Knox. However, considering that names tended to be spelled "as they
sounded", this might be your family:

Dwelling 681
BALOON, Thomas, 50, KY
. . Matilda, 45, KY
. . Wesley, 17, KY
. . Calvin, 15, KY
. . Henry, 15, KY
. . Hezekiah, 11, KY
. . Thomas, 9, KY
. . Anday, 6, KY
. . Plesant, 2, KY

I do not see this name of the 1870 Knox Co. As of the 1880, only the
"Anday", age 6 is still left in Knox Co.:

Dwelling 500-514
BALLUO, Andrew, 24, husband, b. KY; father b. ___, mother b. KY
. . Barbary, 22, wife, b. KY; parents b. KY
. . John, 5, son, KY
. . Cordelia, 3, dau, Ky
. . James, 1, son, Ky

On the 1860 Whitley Co., there is only one BALLEW as follows:
Dwelling 86
ROSE, Henry, 50, b. TN
. . Jane, 37, b. KY
. . Greenfield, 5, KY
. . Susan, 3, b. KY
. . Oma W., 8 mo's, KY
PEACE, Thomas, 22, b. KY
. . Margaret, 14, b. KY
. . Andrew M., 8, b. KY
BALLEW, Peter, 87, b. VA

I see none on the 1870 Whitley Co.

Back to the 1900 Knox Co., Vol. 3 transcribed and sold by the Knox Co. Gen.
Society, this appears to be Andy

BELEW, Aney, husband, b. 2-1856, 44, mar. 23 yrs, b. KY; parents b. KY
. . Barbary, wife, b. about ___, 45 yrs, mar. 23 yrs, 16 born; 13 living,
