Sure there are more. Hope this helps. There are supporting documents and they were given pensions for their service in the Revolutionary War.

William BALLEW served as a sergeant in Capt William Cunningham's Co, 1st VA Regiment, in Col Richard Parker's Regiment. The company was also called the "Colonel's Company." He enlisted for 12 February 1778 for 1 year and was discharged 18 February 1779. In August 1778, William was at White Plains. He was paid $10/month. According to one entry, L1.8.6 = $20 2/3
William BALLEW, sergeant of artillery, received L29-8 from William Cunningham. Same entry as for Thomas Ballew re 1781 Act of Assembly. A second entry shows William received a second payment of L19.17.4
Note: The record does not explicitly identify the William Ballew who received late payment as the William Ballew who served for one but since he was paid by William Cunningham, who was his commanding officer, it was probably the same William Ballew. This William Ballew was the son of Thomas Ballew and Mary Haskins.
