Sarah's parents, Reuben and Eliza Butler Ballard, made the six-week journey to Dallas County in 1847. They were among the first settlers in the Liberty Grove area. Sarah would vividly remember the hardships they endured. Their whole diet, at first, consisted of wild game. Her family would travel to Paris for all their bread ingredients. Later they grew corn and ground their meal in a hand mill.
