A Ballard Family settled lands just north and northeast of the town limits, in the Gilmer Hills area, sometimes in the early 1800s as an old "Wanted" poster hanging in a Selma museum lists this area as the "Ballard Precinct". Cahaba Land Records show that, in 1832, Alfred Ballard and James Ballard purchased land in S15, 16, 17 in T12 R15. One must remember that, especially in Lowndes County, the date of land sale record, in most cases, was years after the original date of homesteading.
