	The origins of the Balliet family can be traced back to Tancred le Balyard: a commander-in-chief of the army of Chlodwig, King of France, around the year 500. The family’s lineage extends everywhere from France to England, Jerusalem to Germany, and finally the United States. According to early records in the United States, the first Balliet to immigrate to America was Paul Balliet, who arrived in Pennsylvania on February 2nd in 1738.

	The Balliet iron plantations, much like any other plantation, was self-sufficient. This meant that there were jobs for everyone including the families living on the grounds. Jobs ranged from ironmaster to shopkeepers, blacksmiths, agricultural workers, and of course colliers. These plantations were commonly made up of thousands of acres and therefore required a large community of skilled workers to sustain themselves and their families. Work forces on the iron plantations consisted of indentured servants, slaves, and free laborers as well as regular workers and ironmasters <ref>Steffen 87</ref>. Indentured servants were large in numbers and along with slaves, performed the least skilled tasks on plantations: serving as woodcutters to supply the charcoal furnaces or as miners to dig iron ore. It was uncommon for laborers to move upward in ranks on plantations.		The Balliet iron plantations, much like any other plantation, was self-sufficient.
