Simon, or Simeon, is apparently the same person who sold land to Thomas Morgan in Keokuk Co., Iowa.

According to the North English Ballard book, Simon apparently died about 1855 since in that year John Ballard of Iowa County (his brother) was named guardian of his children Harriet, age 9, and Sarah, age 5. Even though John is named as guardian, the 2 girls are in the Keokuk Co. census (1860 I presume) living with the John and Hannah Thomas family.

Census: 1850, Washington Co., Iowa
