Hello all, I spent the afternoon (Tuesday, Sept 13, 2011) with MBW volunteer Barbara Whitbeck going through some inconsistencies in various sources, including Peggy Hill's *Ball Outline* and need to share our conclusions with all of you. I'll start with David-2 Fox and wife Hannah Ball, daughter of William-1 Ball, emigrant. This will be a change to many of your data bases. This couple had only four children, and only three who survived to adulthood. Son David-3 (b. 10 Oct 1672, died in infancy in Jan 1780, n.s.). The other three (and only other three) are: 1. Hannah Fox , b 25 JUL 1671 who married (1) Rodham Kenner and (2) Clement Spellman. She is named in the 1718 will of her brother as "sister Hannah Spellman." I don't when she died. 2. Capt. Samuel Fox, b. 28 Feb 1672/3. Married Ann Daingerfield. Died 1712, Lancaster County, intestate. His two children are named in the will of his brother William Fox as "niece Frances Fox" and "nephew David Fox." This will also names his "sister" [i.e. "sister-in-law"" Ann Fox. Some have confused the language of William's will go mean it was his blood sister and thus a daughter of David-2 Fox and Hannah Ball. This is not the case. 3. William Fox, b. 20 Jan 1673/4. Married Ann Chinn, daughter of John-1 and Alice (-----) Chinn. His 1718 will names wife Ann and only one child, a daughter Mary, who apparently died young. She is not named in the will of her mother, Ann (Chinn) Fox Chichester (widow of Richard Chichester, her 2nd husband). We believe this is how a fictional daughter Mary got added to some of the published genealogies as a child of David-2 Fox and Hannah Ball. His will also names "Sister" Catherine Heale, wife of George Heale. Again, she was a sister-in-law, and she was Catherine Chinn, another daughter of John-1 and Alice (-----) Chinn. And again, some have turned her into a blood sister of WIlliam Fox and such is not the case. There were two more to dispose of as children of David-1 Fox and Hannah Ball: Mary (explained above) and a questionable son Henry Fox. The source for Henry Fox being included as a child in this family SEEMS to go back to a footnote in Hayden's *Virginia Genealogies* when he says there was a Henry Fox in King William County who "MAY" be a son of David-1 Fox, father of David-2. Regardless, he is NOT a son in this family. And...believe it or not. This was the "easy" part today. I have two more corrections to send out in separate emails: the line of Ann Ball Conway and James-4 Ball of Bewdley. Those were a bit more entangled. Craig
