That actually helps a lot. I believe this is likely William Ball Sr. based on sons William and John. William Jr. (who married Sarah Sally Campbell in 1788) does not have a son John, at least as far as I can tell. I take it those are the only 2 children listed? It's really too bad it doesn't list a wife -- I've been trying to clearly identify her for some time. I guess I'm going to have to try to order a copy of this will from the archives and hope they actually have it. Thanks again, Kim Archer Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
