Surname Saturday -- BALLIOU (Netherlands to colonial Massachusetts)

It's Surname Saturday, and I'm "counting down" my Ancestral Name List each week.

I am working in the 9th great-grandmothers by Ahnentafel number, and I am up to Ancestor #2283 who is Abigail BALLIOU (1600-1669). [Note: the more recent ancestral families have been covered in earlier posts.]

Child of Thomas Balliou and Ann Aime is:
Abigail Balliou (1600-1669), married 1622 John Dunham (1588-1669).

There are several Derivative Source works that detail the Dunham and Balliou families:  

*  Robert Charles Anderson, The Great Migration Begins, Immigrants to New England, 1620-1633 (Boston, Mass. : New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1995), Volume I, Page 602, John Dunham sketch.

*  Robert Leigh Ward, "The English Origin and first wife of Deacon John Dunham of Plymouth, Massachusetts," The American Genealogist, Volume 71, No. 2 (July 1996), pages 130- 133. 

The Balliou surname may be derived from the English Ballou, or the French or Dutch Billiou, which may be a Huguenot family.  Some references have anglicized the name to Barlow.  

I have done no original research for this Dunham or Balliou family.
