>Hi List,
>
>Reference Burt Weston's posting to the Ball List on 3-29-98 and earlier
>regarding his search for Susanna Ball. Burt's posting is copied below:
>
>"I'm trying to connect Samuel BALL's daughter Susanna m. 1758 Rev War Capt
>John LILLARD to Mary BALL, G. WASHINGTON's mother. Samuel's father was Capt
>Wm. BALL m. 1717 Anna Catharina TAYLOE & his gfather was Col Wm. BALL m.
1638
>Hanna ATHEROLD. Will appreciate ur comments. Burt"
>
>As Linda Reed Smith has done, I, too, have searched thru Bonnie Ball's book
in
>vain for any reference to your Susanna Ball or her parents or other
relatives.
>This book covers the line of Richard (?) Ball - John Ball of Stafford
County,
>VA - Moses, James, John, George, etc.
>
>I also searched my copy of Margaret Hill's book "Ball Families of
Virginia's
>Northern Neck: An Outline", 1990. This reference covers the line of Col.
>William Ball of Lancaster County, VA. Again, I did not find any rerference
to
>Susanna Ball. However, I did find some possibly pertinent as well as
>conflicting information. Margaret Hill has a "Samuel Ball (son of Col.
>William Ball, and grandson of Capt. Willliam Ball !!!), b. 26 September
1686,
>.. twin of David; d. 16 Aug-22 Nov 1751, ...... m. 25 Nov 1717, Lancaster
>Co., VA, Ann Catherine Tayloe, dau. of Col William Tayloe, Richmond County,
VA
>and his 2nd wife, Ann Corbin; at least 4 children." The four children
listed
>are:
> Margaret Ball m aft Aug 1751, John Barrow;
> Judith Ball m. 1734 John Hackley;
> Mary "Pattie" Ball m 1750, Robert Green; and
> William Ball, .....m. Francis Slaughter. ... No surviving issue.
>
>Note, no Susanna !! And a different spouse for Margaret Hill's Ann
Catherine
>Tayloe. Samuel's 1717 marrige date to Ann Catharine Tayloe (as opposed to
>your Anna Catharina Tayloe) is just too close to be coincidence. There are
>too many similarities, but too many significant differences, also. I'll
leave
>those to you to sort through ??!!
>
>Hope I haven't confused things too much. See you later,
>
>John Hale
>Falls Church, VA
>
>Margaret Hill is the Research Coordinator at the Mary Ball Washington
Museum
>in Lancaster County, VA. Her book is heavily referenced, and I'm suspect
it
>can still be purchased. I think my copy was $10-12 in late 1996. It's
about
>70 pages of 8-1/2 by 11. I'll post an address and pertinent information if
>anyone's interested.
