As indicated in the header of the profile various birth dates. Lynette Balding has provided this information:

I see the headstone here might say birthyear 1860. William Balding's Bible lists eight children born to them, with only three surviving infancy. Martha Jane Balding, November 10, 1853, George Albert Balding, April 14, 1856, and Sarah Alice Balding, November 9, 1858. It was written in one hand so I have questioned the accuracy of the info. The 1860 census shows William 37, Lucy 36, Martha 7, George 5, Sarah 1. I'm guessing Sarah was actually born in 1859. I also notice that Henry Harrison and Joseph are listed as children of William and Lucy. Evidently their mother died in a house fire and Joseph was adopted by a family with the last name of Lyon and Henry lived of and on with William and Lucy. I have been unable to determine who their parents may have been.
