Great, we've studied various Ball's for years. Including the early Prodigy, which claimed ever Ball was related to George Washington's mother [if only they could get that 1 connecting generation] and on AOL, where it was allowed that there were other Ball's in the colonies. We've had the Washington Ball tradition, and the Joseph "Ball Cousins" estate fortune problem,and 1 other-our Bethel,Ohio was settled,1797,by Obed and Mary Ball Denham,of the 1666 Branford Ct>Newark,NJ Ball's. We've known many years bits only on the New Castle,Del Ball's. Charles Springer,the elder,lived very close to Wm Ball,BLACKSMITH. Sidebar, my own dau Tamsin's name came from one Tamsin Springer. Researching www.google.com for "David Jones" +"George Brown" gave me a "dated" hit on research by our former Prodigy pal,Scott Trimble,and some old mann from ,then,Miami. There is one reason not to quickly remove any New Castle Ball's from the George Washington's Ball family. Washington's dad,AUGUSTINE,HUSBAND OF Mary Ball, mined iron ore,and shipped it,by water,to furnaces on the Elk River of neaby to New Castle, Cecil Co,Md ,for sale. i thought I had Gewn Bjorkman's Email address. She wrote 3 [?] books of Quaker meeting records just north of the Pa-Del line. Did she,or someone,publish the records of Newark = Kennett Meeting in n Del?
