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."

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.
