I descend from William Ball of White Clay Creek Hd whose will was probated 1709. His will mentions a dau Mary who had married a McDonnell. His sons were John, Thomas, Jeremy and in a later deed with Jeremy a son George appears. There was a William, blacksmith, of Mill Creek whose will was 1747. He had a dau Mary. I had her marriedto Charles Springer but for some reason which I haven't dug out, I crossed off his name. There was a Mary Ball who married Charles Springer. I do not have your Mary who married a Brown. I also descend from William Brown who was in Nottingham twp, Chester Co that early. No son George. There was a William Ball who died 1740 Phila Admins Bk D:135 who left a widow Mary.
