Connie On the Russell web site I found Insley Ball married Sarah Hess on January 5, 1881 in Russell Co., VA. Insley was the son of Alfred and Anna Ball and Sarah Hess was the daughter of Henry L. and M. J. Hess. -------Original Message------- From: C Gerhart Date: 03/02/05 10:55:05 To: VARUSSEL-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [VARUSSEL] Ball Family I am trying to find the parents and siblings of Charles Albert Ball. He was born May 10, 1895 and died July 16, 1958. He was born in Russell County, Virginia. I do know that he married Flora Magdaline Nipper around the 1920's. She was born in 1900 to a Madison or Mathias Nipper, son of John Nipper. John Nipper, from what I have been told, served in the Civil War. Any help on this brick wall would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Connie (Herndon) Gerhart __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
