William Balding remarried after his first wife died. So Tull's mother died before he was 2 years old.

William's second wife was Mary White, who gave birth in 1871. My great grandmother, Bernice (Lott) Hoagland, was friends with Addie (Balding) Shutts. Addie Shutts is the mother of Irl Shutts who David Massey references in his email. So, Tull Balding was an uncle to Irl Shutts.
