Notes |
- VA Genealogies by Rev. Horace Edwin Hayden, page 47, in the notes at
the bottom is stated: "Mrs. Washington's grandfather, Col. William
Ball was the first of the family who came to VA., and settled near the
mouth of the Corotomon River. It appears from a memorandum of Joseph
Ball Esq., that he married in London, the 2nd day of July, 1638, a
Miss Hannah Atherall, by whom he had Richard who it is supposed died
an infant, as he is not mentioned in his father's Will; William born
2nd June 1641; Joseph born the 25th of May, 1649; and Hannah born
about the middle of March, 1650; but whether they were born in England
or Virginia, I cannot learn. William the 2nd son of the 1st of that
name married a Miss Williamson, an Englishwoman, by whom he had
William, Richard, James, Joseph, George, David, Margaret, Stretchley
and Samuel.
Joseph the 3rd son of the 1st William, married Miss Rogers by whom he
had Joseph, born the 11th of March 1684; Elizabeth who married the
Rev'd Mr. Carnegie; Hannah who married Mr. Travers; Anne who married
Col. Edwin Conway; & Easter (sic) who married Mr. Raleigh Chinn; he
afterwards married Mrs. Washington's mother, by whom he had her, and
soon afterward died. His Will is dated the 5th of June 1711."
