William was likely a son of Major William Bellew who secured a patent to 406 acres in Henriuco County on the north side of Appomattox River next to Mr. Ridley's land 1 October 1651.  After Ballow failed to seat the land, Major Abraham Wood, patented in 6 Dec 1654.  In 1652 Lt. Col. Ballew and Jerome Ham got a patent to 1,050 acres in James City County.  It was possibly this same man who was a headright in 1666 when Captain Joseph Bridger and Mr. William Burgh got a patent to 7,800 acres in Isle of Wight County.  William Ballow, who named a son Leonard, may be connected to Leonard Boloe, a headright for Edward Osborne in 1636.
