Wm Ball,who from 1728,lived in Philadelphia's Northern suburbs [Liberties], wrote a will in 1737,proved in 1740,and finished execution in 1755,that mentioned Ulster Co,NY land. His wife [2nd?] was a White,whose own will was 1768. His son,Wm's 1810 will,mentioned widely scattered lands. Wm Jr and brother,Samuel, were merchants. Sir Stanhope was also mentioned in Sr's will. While I know some of the history and families of Kingston-Esopus,NY,Ihave no idea what resources Ulster Co has available to learn more of Wm Ball, ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
